    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Director Milton Moses Ginsberg and cast members Dean Stockwell, Biff McGuire and Lenka Peterson all passed away in 2021.
    • Goofs
      At about the 47 minute mark, the werewolf bursts out of the darkness at center screen to attack the Hippy Chick in the phone booth. Unfortunately, the actor, as he mounts the stairs from the left seconds before to get into position, breaks out of the light shadow enough to distract from the 'boo' effect.
    • Quotes
      • Giselle: The sign of the pentagram...
      • Jack Whittier: Oh, the Pentagon is behind all this?
      • Giselle: Pent-a-gram.
    • Alternate versions
      In 2021, director Milton Moses Ginsburg prepared a new edit of the film. Previously contractually obligated to deliver a near-90-minute feature, Ginsburg reduced it to 74 minutes, cutting what he felt was needless padding, changing the opening scenes set in Hungary from color to black-and-white, and making some other minor changes to the musical score.
