    • Trivia
      Kino Lorber's 2016 Blu-ray of this 63-minute movie features a nearly two-hour commentary with Tom Weaver, David Schecter, Dr. Robert J. Kiss and Sumishta Brahm. The latter is the daughter of the movie's director, John Brahm.
    • Goofs
      There are a number of mistakes in how the coroner's inquest is carried out under English Law. The most obvious are that the coroner at one point prejudicially calls the death a crime, allows another person to question a witness, and deals with the witnesses in the wrong order.
    • Quotes
      • Robert 'Bob' Curtis: [in the crypt] Everyone seems to be resting in peace.
      • Dr. Jeff Colbert: [sardonically] By daylight, at least.
