    • Trivia
      Originally filmed in the late 1960s as Psycho a Go Go (1965), a crime drama about a jewel robbery gone wrong, it sat on the shelf for two years before new footage incorporating the zombie plot were shot by investors who wanted a less serious horror film.
    • Goofs
      Lt. Cross asks Susan Vanard when she's returning to France, but previously she had told him only that she had been living in Europe, not specifying France. Or maybe he's just a good guesser..
    • Alternate versions
      The earliest version was Psycho a Go-Go, with new footage being added for Fiend with the Electronic Brain. After more footage was added it became Blood of Ghastly Horror.
    • Connections
      Edited from Psycho a Go Go (1965)

    Bad Film within Very Bad Film within Extremely Bad Film

    First they filmed a crime drama. Then they decided to make it into some sort of sci-fi flick, by adding footage which explains the criminal's behaviour in terms of a synthetic brain place in the head of a soldier. Then they decide to wrap this with some incredibly trashy low-budget early 70s zombie monster footage.
