- AnecdotesThis film was shot in 11 days on a budget of $50,000.
- GaffesThe opening scenes of Croft's attack on Leslie and Paul and the police department's investigation of the attack are supposed to take place sometime between 20 to 30 years before the main events of the film (which take place decades later in the early 1970s), but the men's long hair and the cut of the detective's suit in these scenes are clearly contemporary to 1972 (the year of the film's release).
- Citations
James Eastman: [voiceover] My mother found it difficult to tell me that I wasn't like other children; I could never share a life with whole human beings. I slowly learned that the thing that raped my mother and fathered me was no living feeling man, but a malignant force of cancer that refused to be destroyed. It wasn't only her blood my mother gave to keep me alive, her youth and her own life was sucked up into the syringe that fed me.
- Crédits fousAt the end of the film, the words "Fin -- ou peut etre pas," appear on the screen, which are French for "The End -- or maybe not."
- Versions alternativesThe film's UK Vipco DVD version is identical to its original theatrical cut, which was cut by the BBFC to remove a scene of a woman cutting her breast with a knife to feed her child blood and scenes of blood flowing down her arm after an injection with, and an extraction of, the needle of a hypodermic syringe.

And I will say that "Grave of the Vampire" wasn't a bad vampire movie, however nor was it an outstanding one either. Writers David Chase and John Hayes managed to come up with a storyline that was watchable, but you shouldn't expect it to be a vampiric masterpiece.
And the movie does show that it is from 1972, so this will of course not be a spectacle of grand special effects and such, yet "Grave of the Vampire" actually managed to do worse than the old Hammer Horror movies, oddly enough, in terms of special effects and the whole vampire atmosphere.
The acting in the movie was adequate, and that was most certainly something that helped to keep the movie as being watchable.
For a vampire movie "Grave of the Vampire" just didn't strike me as being all that and a batch of garlic - pardon the pun. However, there are far worse vampire movies out there.
My rating of director John Hayes's 1972 movie lands on a five out of ten stars. It was watchable, for sure, but this was not a memorable movie. Nor do I believe that I actually will ever sit down to watch it a second time.
