Trivia | The first part (or in some versions, the third part) of this anthology horror film, "Case of Harry Billings" starring Richard Moll, was edited from an unfinished, unreleased 1981 horror film titled, "Scream Your Head Off" (although copies of it are reported to be available). That film was written by Philip Yordan and directed by John Carr (both were also credited as the writer and director of this film). See more » |
