    • Trivia
      The scene where the snowbeast attacks the town hall during the snow queen ceremony was written in to replace a previously scripted and filmed attack scene that was deemed too violent to be aired on television.
    • Goofs
      It appears that Sylvia Sidney took an unplanned fall during the gymnasium scene. She trips and falls pretty hard. It appears she may have broken an arm in the fall. She does not appear in the rest of the film despite being a major character earlier in the film.
    • Quotes

      Gar Seberg: I quit being a skier in 1968 because the other skiers were mavericks!

    • Alternate versions
      The National Broadcasting Company decided it would be a little violent to have a skier fall from the ski lift and break a leg and then become a victim to the Snowbeast. In this scene, it was where the Winter Games took place. Writer Joseph Stefano and director Herb Wallerstien changed the scene to have the Snowbeast attack the town's gymnasium were they are holding a skiing contest for the snow champions. The fall from ski lift scene appears in some other versions of this film.

    Enjoyable If You Don't Expect Too Much
    I loved Snowbeast when I first saw it. It could never be accused of being a great film but it is very good.

    Some Sasquatch type creature is butchering people staying at a ski resort and no-one seems to be able to locate it or kill it. Throughout the movie it kills people and causes some carnage.

    You don't actually get many glimpses of the monster. You will see a claw here or there but if memory serves me right, you actually only get split second glimpses of it's face at the end when it is cornered by the good guys. Of course, this doesn't spoil the movie; on the contrary, I think it helps that you don't see the monster every five minutes, it makes the whole thing more authentic. It's much better to hear a few growls here and there and to see the victims reactions.

    I recommend Snowbeast to anyone. If you notice it on the TV, make sure you record it.
