Curiosidades
American International Pictures insisted on playing up the horror-occult themes of the film when marketing it. As part of this, the film's original title was changed to the more ominous "Burn, Witch, Burn" - a line that Margaret Johnston speaks in the film. Also, the voice-over opening where a spell is cast upon the audience was added for setting the tone.

Pifias
At 1:21:48, you can see the guide wire controlling the eagle.stretching from it's leg to it's handler whose back is briefly seen.

Citas
Prologue Narrator: [First lines] Ladies and gentlemen, the motion picture you are about to see contains an evil spell, as used by practitioners of witchcraft for centuries. Even today, in many parts of the world, people practiced black magic and witchcraft. Charms, amulets, voodoo candles, grave dirt, and locks of hair are believed to ward off evil spirits and spells. You may doubt the effectiveness of these spells, but through every civilization, people have believed in witches. Could they all be wrong? I don't think so. For I have see its power, proved too many times. I am now about to dispel all evil spirits that may radiate from the screen during this performance!
[recites chant]
Prologue Narrator: And now, with a free mind and a protected soul, we ask you to enjoy, "Burn Witch, Burn."

Créditos adicionales
There is no The End closing title, just a final "Do You Believe?" to conclude the film.

Versiones alternativas
For the American-International release in the United States, a voice-over opening was added which supposedly cast a protective spell over the audience. It was recorded by Paul Frees, using his trademark Orson Welles impression, and adds 2:20 to the original running time.

most romantic horror movie EVER

This is far and away my very favorite horror movie -- not only is it truly scary, it is extremely well-acted, has a very intelligent script, great direction, super photography. What's most unusual about it is the relationship among the Professor Taylor (the devastatingly yummy Peter Wyngarde)and his wife Tansy (Janet Blair) -- these two have amazing chemistry and along with the horror, you get a very realistic story of a married couple very much in love, who struggle with the wife's admission of being a witch.

Much of the horror here is simply implied, making it that much scarier, but what is shown is truly chilling. If you've never seen a believable performance in a horror movie, check out Wyngarde in this --his final scene should be shown in every drama school -- his fear is that palpable.
