Wissenswertes
This is the movie playing in the theatre in the original version of "The Blob"

Zitate
Narrator: Come with me into the tormented, haunted, half-lit night of the insane. This is my world. Let me lead you into it. Let me take you into the mind of a woman who is mad. You may not recognize some things in this world, and the faces will look strange to you. For this is a place where there is no love, no hope...in the pulsing, throbbing world of the insane mind, where only nightmares are real, nightmares of the Daughter of Horror!

Crazy Credits
In the Preston Sturges quotation before the opening credits, several instances of the word "Italicized" appear, spelled out in regular type in parentheses, rather than actually employing any italic type.

Alternative Versionen
The original version, released as 'Dementia', had no narration; that was voiced by Ed McMahon and added for the re-release under title 'Daughter of Horror.'

One of A Kind, Don't Miss It

Powerful visual style highlights this noir nightmare film, originally made in 1951. Is it Freudian, Surreal, or just plain fugged up? This is outsider film making, a one of kind rarity(the director's only film)that either discards standard film technique, or is totally ignorant of it. But the photography and music are both weird, wild, and quite well done. No dialog!!

The original director's version (Dementia)is much better than the one with some of the gore cut out, and an intrusive, idiotic Ed McMahon voiceover(Daughter of Darkness).They are both on the DVD, so don't make the mistake of watching the censored "Daughter" version first.

Don't miss the highly suggestive "chicken eating" scene. It's hilarious!!
