Producer/cinematographer/editor Keith A. Wester's debut film. He went on to receive six Academy Award nominations for sound mixing.
According to Ray Dennis Steckler, the blowup to 35mm cost more than shooting the entire production itself.
The film was shown in theaters as a "special attraction" or "midnight show." During a point in the movie, people dressed up as monsters would go up and down the aisles. It was usually limited to only one or two showings.
