    • Trivia
      Vincent Price signed on for the film after reading the first draft of its script; however, the studio demanded re-writes in order to reduce production costs. The re-writes reportedly removed much of what Price liked about the film's first draft.
    • Goofs
      In the film, when Francois and Philippe visit Andre's laboratory from the previous film The Fly (1958), the messages Andre wrote to Helene on the blackboard can still be seen on it. But at the end of that same film, Helene had told Inspector Charas that she had erased them all off of the blackboard in order to cover up all traces of Andre's experiment.

    • Alternate versions
      For UK cinemas, the BBFC imposed a brief cut to remove the shot of Alan crushing the hybrid guinea pig with his foot. Later video releases were uncut.
