Anecdotes
The amount of sea worms used in the film was countless, as the production would order shipments of 250,000 Glycera worms at a time. The production would end up wiping out the New England fishing industry's supply of Glycera worms that year.

Gaffes
When Roger is attacking Mick for the last time (biting his thigh) and Mick begins hitting him with a flashlight, he is obviously hitting his own hand rather than Roger's head.

Citations
Roger Grimes: You gonna be da' worm face!

Versions alternatives
Squirm was heavily edited for its appearance on Mystery Science Theater 3000 in 1999. Among the many scenes cut from the film was the scene of Mick trudging through the swamp, the conversation between Mick and Alma, the worms graphic attack on Roger, the gruesome fate of Mrs. Sanders, and the climax where Roger crawls after Mick and attempts to bite him.

Edited from L'inconnu de Las Vegas (1960)

Hey, there's a worm in my egg cream!

You wouldn't know it from the description, but SQUIRM manages to be scary, fun, gross, and engaging all at once. Scare shots are timed to a tee and both the conflict of the film and the characters involved in it are executed with as much style and excellent timing as could be expected for a film about killer worms. The scene where worms burrow into Roger's face, and the one where the bathtub is quickly filling up with worms are really effective. Your local video store probably sold off this one years ago along with other slow-renting titles to make room for hundreds of copies of "Sleepless in Seattle," though, so if you see a copy and are looking for a good scare, pick it up.
