      • Trivia
        The monster suit was originally used in the movies The White Gorilla and White Pongo, both made in 1945. Both monsters were played by actor Ray Corrigan.
      • Goofs
        Five expedition members (Connie, Varga, Steve, Hud and Dr. Erickson) set out at night with flares to search for the Yeti, but a couple of shots of the members out on the mountain show six persons in the group, not five. Also, in those shots, the members are tied to one another with rope, but in close-ups immediately following, none of them has any rope tied to them.

      "SEE YETI. DIE".
      "SEE YETI. DIE".

      ...says the guide to the Himalayan expedition group, and disappears shortly thereafter. I'd like to say die laughing, but it's really just a bleached recycled gorilla suit a la King Kong 1933, but with a modified headdress. Is that a spoiler? I felt like I almost died of boredom the first 2/3 of this spare, slim, exact hour of a cheapie, but that first 40 minutes already feels like over an hour of constant tedious discussion of Yetilore, lotsa stock footage of mountain trekking till things actually start to happen, and I have to admit the climax wasn't as lame as I would have expected. But totally devoid of any style or flair, the sorry script not helped by stagy acting and perfunctory, static camera work.
