Yes, this is known as cranial reciprocity failure.
Briefly stated, the subject's head size varies
in proportion to the length of the time of the
exposure, up until a certain point, after which
the subject's head will be removed from the photo
altogether.
Try using faster film in order to keep from decapitating
your subjects. Or, use a flash.
