Wissenswertes
William Castle: [gimmick] During its initial theatrical release, attendees were given small white cards with luminous thumbs with which to vote thumbs-up or thumbs-down.

Patzer
Sir Robert "invents" the hypodermic needle, despite its having been invented decades earlier than the film's 1880 setting.

The film doesn't say Sir Robert invented the hypodermic needle. It correctly says that Alexander Wood invented the modern hypodermic needle and syringe. However, it is true that this invention was made long before the date the film is set in.

Zitate
[repeated line]
Krull: When my master says, "Krull, do this thing," I do the thing, whatever it may be.

Alternative Versionen
An alternate version was supplied for drive-ins. For this version, only the footage of 'William Castle (I)' was different. For the drive-in version, instead of the "Punishment Poll" cards, the audience was asked to flash their headlights to vote on the ending. The Columbia exchanges could replace the two William Castle segments to make an existing print suitable for drive-in bookings. As with the theater version, there was only one ending filmed.

Disturbing but memorable!

I saw this in the "show" when I was about 10, and seriously, I have never forgotten it. About 20 years ago, I noticed that it was on a station out of Toledo in the middle of the night, and even though I had to get up in the morning, and they had commercials every 10 minutes, I stayed up (after setting the alarm to GET UP) and watched the whole movie... I guess I am a William Castle fan, I have to admit it. (One other that still kills me is Homicidal, and woo hoo Richard Rust is in it, too, my favorite!) I play the lottery every day now, too, and that storyline about the ticket in the grave just GETS ME!! This is one odd film, like everything Castle does, but ya gotta love it!! It sticks with you, once you've seen it, you are hooked forever.
