Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe odd symbol that appears again and again - on Wilbur's ring, on his grandfather's staff, in the design on the main floor, etc. - is actually an ancient Native American symbol commonly termed "Thunderbird in sun".
- GoofsThe length of Nancy's fingernails changes repeatedly during the sex ritual - they're noticeably longer in shots where Sandra Dee's face is visible, implying that a body double with shorter nails was used for the racier portions of the scene.
- Quotes
Wilbur Whateley: Come back, Old Ones... Princes of Darkness... and repossess the earth.
- Crazy creditsActress Joanne Moore Jordan is credited two different ways. In the Opening Credits, she is listed as Joanna (with an "a" at the end of her name). However, in the Closing Credits, she is listed correctly, Joanne (only one "a").
- Alternate versionsU.S. theatrical release was cut of scenes of nudity to receive an all ages "M" rating (predecessor to today's "PG" rating). Current releases are uncut and carry a new "R" rating from the MPAA.
- ConnectionsEdited from Spirits of the Dead (1968)
Featured review
Interesting film about a young college coed who becomes involved with a young man who has connections that extend well into the underworld and who only needs the right book to unleash them. Sandra Dee in a surprisingly sexy role as the young student and Les Baxter's very nice soundtrack just about save an effort where the actual film doesn't do justice to its title. Nonetheless the production design creates creepy atmosphere especially in the seaside alter where Dee is nearly undressed while Stockwell prepares her for the arrival of Satan himself. And there is a certain amount of imagination involved in the film that combines a nice mixture of classic horror themes with hip sensibilities.
