Curiosidades
The odd symbol that appears again and again - on Wilbur's ring, on his grandfather's staff, in the design on the main floor, etc. - is actually an ancient Native American symbol commonly termed "Thunderbird in sun".

Erros de gravação
The length of Nancy's fingernails changes repeatedly during the sex ritual - they're noticeably longer in shots where Sandra Dee's face is visible, implying that a body double with shorter nails was used for the racier portions of the scene.

Citações
Wilbur Whateley: Come back, Old Ones... Princes of Darkness... and repossess the earth.

Cenas durante ou pós-créditos
Actress Joanne Moore Jordan is credited two different ways. In the Opening Credits, she is listed as Joanna (with an "a" at the end of her name). However, in the Closing Credits, she is listed correctly, Joanne (only one "a").

Versões alternativas
U.S. theatrical release was cut of scenes of nudity to receive an all ages "M" rating (predecessor to today's "PG" rating). Current releases are uncut and carry a new "R" rating from the MPAA.

Conexões
Edited from Histórias Extraordinárias (1968)

YOG SOTHOTH! The Old Ones must come!

Another movie featuring Gothic horror that collides with late 1960's psychedelic/Hippie clothing, fashions, design, etc. It makes for a potent combination that is somewhat silly but great fun to look at.

The rumor is that Peter Fonda was supposed to play the lead but Dean Stockwell stepped in at the last minute. It would have sure been a different movie with old Pete. Stockwell gives the role a creepy yet seductive intensity. Could Fonda have done the same? Not so sure about that. I tend to think that Peter Fonda would have been a little too "slick" for this role, that is, too much on the side of the sleazy seducer and too little on the side of the menacing necromancer. But, who knows, that's just my silly idle speculation, as Peter never did the role.

This would make a great double feature with "Simon: King of The Witches," also currently available on DVD. Filmed shortly after this film, also has a warlock, and a lot of trippy psychedelic visual effects. Also great fun to look at and quite entertaining performance in the lead role by Andrew Prine.
