    • Trivia
      Some unsubstantiated sources claim this film was originally produced for theatrical release. It was cut by nearly 30 minutes and broadcast as an ABC Sunday Night Movie on January 11, 1970 where it was a big ratings grabber.
    • Goofs
      The bloodstains shown on the refrigerator at the beginning of the movie are in a completely different location from where they appear when it is later shown whose blood it was and how it got there. In the opening sequence, the stains are on the front of the refrigerator, whereas when they are shown being put on, the streaks go above the top of the door.
    • Quotes

      Chief Frank Untermyer: [as August starts to leave the room] Where are you going?

      Lieutenant Dan August: I'm a detective. I'm going out to detect.

      [Leaves]

      Sergeant Charles Wilentz: A detective. That's what I want to be when I grow up.

      Chief Frank Untermyer: There's no money in it.

    Wow! This one sure brings back memories!
    It's good to know that I'm not the only one who was freaked out by those chilling opening scenes! I too was a very young child when I saw this film, so I can scarcely recall any details...only that infamous kitchen footage. The title alone still gives me the creeps! It is definitely a shame that this movie is not shown on TV, and is apparently not available on VHS or DVD. I'd really love to watch it again to see if it holds up to my childhood memories! Sadly, I have a feeling it can't possibly be as frightening as I remember. Years of slasher film viewing have left me quite jaded. Perhaps I'll just read the book instead.
