Trivia
The spheres were designed by craftsman Willard Green who charged the production a little over $1,100 for his services. Sadly, he died just after production completed at the end of 1977, and never saw his work on the big screen. See more »Goofs
Continuity: The length of The Tall Man's finger is longer in the wooden box than when it was originally severed. See more »Crazy Credits
