Curiosidades
Considered by Vincent Price to be his personal favorite of all of his films, followed closely by El abominable Dr. Phibes (1971).

Pifias
Horace Sprout's decapitated head rolls over when the maid discovers him. In the next scene, it is impaled on a milk bottle at Devlin's front door. It has been said this is a goof because Lionheart could not have retrieved the head after the maid saw it the next morning. But the head left in the bed was a "dummy" waxwork head. Lionheart took the real head and put that on the milk bottle at Devlin's front door.

Citas
Peregrine Devlin: [after receiving Dickman's heart in a gift box] It's him, all right. Only Lionheart would have the temerity to rewrite Shakespeare!

Versiones alternativas
Despite the film's comedic nature, the original UK theatrical version of it was cut by the BBFC and some of the close-up shots from the murders of Meredith Merridew and Miss Chloe Moon were slightly trimmed. All later home video and DVD releases were uncut.

Conexiones
Featured in V.I.P.-Schaukel: Episodio #9.2 (1979)

One of Price's best

There's a lot of commentary on this film here; however, I want to draw attention to the use of dream structure in this movie. People that appeared normal to the victims at first are suddenly balding, idiotic savages. A man looks to a policeman for aid and the audience suddenly notices that his face is not entirely real. The experiences of the victim of Lionheart (Price's character in this movie) each resemble a dream suddenly turned nightmare. It was a very effective device for a horror movie.
