    • Trivia
      Vincent Price later expressed a strong dislike for the film in a letter written to German actor and puppeteer Gerd J. Pohl. Price said that his agent misrepresented it and Price was trapped in it.
    • Goofs
      When Stanley pours the champagne for himself and Grace at the funeral home, he is seen draining his glass. The next shot of the glass shows it filled again, and he never refilled it.
    • Quotes

      Julian White: One thing I've learned, my dear, is that one is never too old for nightmares.

    • Crazy credits
      Near the end of the credits, we are told "WHEN IN TENNESSEE VISIT OLDFIELD". Oldfield is not a real town.
    • Alternate versions
      The 1987 UK video release was cut by 1 min 45 secs by the BBFC with extensive cuts to scenes depicting violence or gore in front of children. Among the edits were stabbing and strangling scenes, and shots of children playing with severed human limbs.

    Dark and Grim Anthology

    Unlike most anthology films which follow the tongue in cheek EC Comics approach, From A Whisper To A Scream dares to go dark and bleak with the material and it's an unforgettable experience for it. Yes, there are several "just desserts" twists at the end of some of these stories that feel right out of the pages of Tales From the Crypt, but its tone feels different and more serious as if it's EC Comics as filtered through Texas Chainsaw Massacre. It has a hell of a great cast, too.
