Curiosidades
Christopher Lee called this his favorite Hammer film. One of his other favorites was The Two Faces of Dr. Jekyll. Not only were both directed by Terence Fisher, but Lee got to play a person other than a monster or a formidable, dangerous villain in each. Here he's the good guy, and in Jekyll, while he's a scoundrel, he's a regular person.

Pifias
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.

Citas
Marie Eaton: [to her servant about Mocata] Show him out!
Mocata: I'm leaving.

Mocata: *I* shall not be back... but something will.
[pauses menacingly]
Mocata: Tonight! Something will come for Simon and the girl!

Versiones alternativas
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.

Conexiones
Featured in Iron Maiden: The Number of the Beast (1982)

"The Angel of Death was summoned. He cannot return empty handed."

Very cool Hammer film from the great Terence Fisher with Christopher Lee playing the good guy for a change. Lee plays the Duc de Richleau who, along with his friend Rex Van Ryn (Leon Greene), rescues a late friend's son and a young woman from a Satanic cult led by a powerful man named Mocata (Charles Gray). Now holed up at a country estate, de Richleau and Rex must fight off Mocata and the forces of evil.

One of my favorite Hammer films. The screenplay comes from Richard Matheson, adapted from a novel by Dennis Wheatley. Fisher's direction is terrific. The movie has a great 1920s period look and at times a very creepy atmosphere. The cast is excellent, with Lee giving one of his best performances. Charles Gray gives a subdued turn that makes him all the more menacing. I really like this one and rewatch it more than most Hammer movies I own. It's an exciting, enjoyable movie that will surely please Lee and Hammer fans.
