Anecdotes
Edgar Wallace was not credited in this movie, but in an interview with a fan, director Jesús Franco admitted that he used one of Wallace's novels for this movie.

Crédits fous
The opening credits claim the story is an adaptation of Edgar Allan Poe's "The Cat and the Canary." There is no work by Poe with that title or plot. It is actually a play written in 1922 by John Willard, which was officially adapted to film in 1927, 1930 and 1979.

Underrated Franco

Night of the Skull (1973)

*** (out of 4)

Spanish giallo has a family brought together for the reading of a will only soon a maniac wearing a skull mask shows up and starts knocking them off. This is from Jess Franco and this certainly ranks as one of his better made films, technically speaking. Franco creates a very thick atmosphere that helps the film move quite nicely and the mystery is well written and plays out very well. The performances are a lot better than normal especially Lina Romay who's given the chance to act here. The first murder sequence is very well done and the look of the killer is nice. Not your typical Franco film but a good one.
