Trivia

The film's strange music score is partially made of moaning and breathing noises. It was director Jorge Grau who made these eerie sounds, as well as those for the zombies. See more »

Goofs

Factual errors: If you look at the lettering on the door while the police and George are at the Old Owl, you can see that owl is mistakenly spelled "Olw". See more »

Quotes

The Inspector: I wish the dead could come back to life, you bastard, so then I could kill you again.
