Trivia
Tie-in merchandise is very rare and highly sought after. Dez Skinn, John Bolton and David Lloyd produced a graphic novel adaptation which was given away at the Cannes Film Festival. Only 1000 copies were printed. The soundtrack LP issued by Chips Records seldom surfaces and tends to sell in the triple-digits. A paperback edition of the source R. Chetwynd-Hayes novel boasting artwork featured in the film was printed in 1981 and reprinted in 2013.
Quotes
Eramus:
Can we truly call this a monster club if we do not boast amongst our membership a single member of the human race?
Crazy Credits
On the soundtrack listing, the track "Ghouls Galore" the performer, keyboardist Alan Hawkshaw, is credited as "John Hackshaw".
Alternate Versions
To receive an 'A' (PG) cinema certificate in the UK the film was cut by the BBFC with brief edits to shots of Angela's liquefied face in the opening story. All later releases were uncut and the certificate raised to '15'.
