    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      The love scene on the graves was filmed inside the cemetery at Clichy. Jean Rollin revealed that, "They would have never allowed us to shoot such an explicit sex scene inside a cemetery, so we lied to the caretakers about what we were going to do in there. Because it was late at night, there was only one cemetery guard around, and Natalie Perrey went to him with a couple of liquor bottles and kept him 'entertained' and distracted."
    • Goofs
      At the end when he is carrying the supposed dead or unconscious girl, then sets her down and shoots at the two men, the first shot startles the "unconscious" girl and she jerks. The next few shots she lays still.
    • Quotes
      • Isle: We were surprised to hear of your deaths. Your reappearance is even more surprising.
