Anecdotes
The film was originally to have been directed by Orson Welles, Luis Buñuel and Federico Fellini.

Gaffes
Toby is offered a magazine pictorial in which he is to portray "the young Greek god Mars" (as translated in captions). Mars was the Roman god of war. The Greek god of war was Ares.

Citations
Giuseppina (segment "William Wilson"): The card-player resembles the lover. He gets tired. No staying power, my dear.

Crédits fous
After the opening title credits, the following handwritten text (from Edgar Allan Poe's first published story, "Metzengerstein" - which is also adapted as the first story of this film) is displayed: "'Horror and fatality have been stalking abroad in all ages. Why then give a date to the story I have to tell?' Edgar Allan Poe."

Versions alternatives
The whipping of Giuseppina was cut in the original 1973 UK cinema release (titled "Tales of Mystery"), and subsequent releases were also edited. The 15-rated 1984 video (as "Powers of Evil") completely missed the entire "William Wilson" story, and the 18-rated 1990 French Collection VHS (titled "Histoires Extraordinaires: Tales of Mystery and Imagination") received over a minute of cuts to the whipping scene and shots of Wilson caressing a girl with a scalpel. The Arrow Blu-ray release (titled "Spirits of the Dead") is the full uncut version.

Terence Dammit Stamp

Three Edgar Alan Poe stories, three directors, a genius director, a great director and a director. The top international stars of their day: Jane Fonda, Peter Fonda, Terence Stamp, Alain Delon and Brigitte Bardot. The Roger Vadim episode with the two Fondas is quite terrible, Jane with her left over costumes from Barbarella, is always watchable but what a mess. Delon and Bardot are fun to watch but the piece looks more a rehash of one of the weakest Hammer horror flicks than a film signed by the great Louis Malle. However, I wouldn't mind sitting through those turkeys once again for the sheer pleasure of the third segment: Fellini's "Toby Dammit" with a superlative Terence Stamp. Unique, unnerving, jaw dropping, funny, delightful gem of a film.
