    • Trivia
      During filming, director Harry Kümel hit actress Danielle Ouimet during a dispute. Actor John Karlen was so infuriated by this behavior that he punched Kumel in the face. The atmosphere on the set was understandably tense afterwards.
    • Goofs
      When Ilona is lying on the bathroom floor, bikini marks are visible. Vampires are not supposed to have tan lines.
    • Quotes

      Countess Bathory: Love is stronger than death... even than life.

    • Alternate versions
      The original U.S. theatrical release was cut by approximately 12 minutes to obtain an R-rating, and features a slightly different opening credits sequence in which Lainie Cooke (not Delphine Seyrig as sometimes rumored) sings over the main theme of the film. This sequence features a stylized title logo (the same as that on the U.S. posters), while the rest of the credits use a font that is more formal and less bold compared to the original version. After being released on Canadian and American VHS (where it was retitled "Children of the Night"), the U.S. version was eventually replaced in circulation by the uncut version in the 1990s, although its title sequence is presented among the special features of Blue Underground's 2020 4K Blu-ray release of the film.

    Unbelievable, Incredible Vampire Film

    Stay with this film, it is incredible. Great acting, cinematography, direction. The lead actress isn't great, but the actress who plays Erzebet Bathory is phenomenal. Bizaar sets, and strange milieu really add to this film's strange portrayal of vampires and how they deal with the living. I really loved this film. Of course, today, everything happens at the speed of light. Back in 1970, they took their time with building the film and really letting it sink in before hitting you with the shocks. This one has plenty of shocking moments and some really great inventive scenes that add to the history of the vampire film. Unfortunately, today we now have 'Twilight', a disgusting parody of the genre that hopefully audiences will someday say, 'What the hell were we thinking?'.
