      • Trivia
        Christopher Lee called this his favorite Hammer film.
      • Goofs
        During the opening credits, a symbol is shown that is not Satanic, and it is also incorporated into the symbol on the priestly robes during the film. Inscribed within a Star of David, there is a six-winged seraph with the faces of a man, lion, ox and eagle based on the vision of Ezechiel. In Christian tradition, the four faces become associated with the four gospel writers: Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.
      • Quotes

        Marie Eaton: [to her servant about Mocata] Show him out!

        Mocata: I'm leaving.

        [walks towards door and stands behind Marie]

        Mocata: *I* shall not be back... but something will.

        [pauses menacingly]

        Mocata: Tonight! Something will come for Simon and the girl!

        [leaves]

      • Alternate versions
        The 2012 UK Blu-ray Disc released by Studio Canal features digitally enhanced special effects. The makers of the Blu-ray claim to complete shots which had never been finished due to budget reasons:
        • Matte shot of Simon's mansion with the Observatory dome has been replaced with a CGI background.
        • During the ritual at the climax of the movie a lighting has been replaced with a new CGI lightning.
        • Spider sequence: Shadow for the spider has been added, some matte shots enhanced, and digital smoke added when the spider is sprayed with holy water.
        • The Angel of Death sequence: A light effect is illuminating the door to cover the poor original optical effect when the angel rides through the door. The close up of the Angel of Death has a new background with flames as the original intended shot was never finished.
        • The matte shots of Charley Grey's death in the fire have been digitally corrected as there were optical errors in the layers of the matte shots.
        • Several other matte shots have been improved by removing matte lines.

      good mood

      Nicholas Duc de Richleau (Christopher Lee) meets his friend Rex Van Ryn at an airfield. They set off to check on their friend Simon Aron who is living on an English country estate. They find him hosting a party for a group of strangers. It turns out to be a cult for the devil.

      This has good atmosphere and Christopher Lee helps deliver an intensity to the material. On the other hand, the action needs to be better. The special effects are not up to the task. The spider is especially bad. The devil isn't much more than a guy in a goat mask or is that supposed to be a guy in a goat mask. All in all, this is probably the best Hammer film from the 60's that I've seen.
