    • Trivia
      John Carradine only appears as a floating image during the whole film. Actually, it is the same shot of him all the time, sometimes repeating dialogue and sometimes with new dialogue.
    • Quotes

      Curtis Ryan: It's when you mix the particular place, not here, but on the outside, well, that's when the power hits ya!

      Mark Eden: The power?

      Curtis Ryan: It's sort... it's built in, it's like telepathy.

      Mark Eden: Telepathy?

      Curtis Ryan: No, no! It's LIKE telepathy!

    Never boring
    With other bad films the novelty wears off fast. Not this time. True the budget is low, but not so low that new crazy elements can't be sprung on the viewer in every scene. Some of the props are not impressive. For example a barely-altered plastic devil fork (used as a magic wand?) and department store mannequins (experimented on?). Don't be deterred though, the sets and costumes are all fun and the plot moves fast.

    John Carradine is in this movie less than any top-billed star has been in any movie. You will see that he was no doubt not on the same set. In fact, you will see his performance does not even demand that he be on any set.

    The very end is so cheap that it will make you mad. Still, this movie pleased me and I laughed a lot.
