Trivia
The introductory sequence was shot at Marineland, located on the Palos Verdes Peninsula in Los Angeles County. It remained open from 1954-87, when all the animals were moved to the Sea World facility in San Diego, CA.

Goofs
When Johnny pushes the stolen car over a cliff an anguished scream is heard as the vehicle bounces down the rocks. The problem is the only people in the car have already been murdered.

Quotes
Glen Cannon: Why should I sign the castle over to you. You'll only kill us to keep us from talking
Count Dracula - alias Count Charles Townsend: Oh, no! We need your blood.

I Do Love A Good Stinky Cheese

A stinky, horrible, ghastly piece of cheese! (To quote the gnome statue in those television commercials for an intenet travel site.) Now that this horror is available for cheap-o prices, I would recommend it for bad film fans. Bad acting, cheap sets and leaden pacing abound. John Carradine is always fun to watch, no matter how bad the movie he is in, and he did many, many stinkers of Z-grade budgets. Probably my favorite part is the gratuitous opening scene which shows nice footage of Marineland in Los Angeles (Rancho Palos Verdes, I believe) closed and torn down decades ago. There was also some nice cinematography; I noted the scene where the robed, torch-bearing figures trudge across the beach in the moonlight. Nice image.

This film had exteriors shot mainly at Scotty's Castle (I think) in Death Valley, hundreds of miles from the ocean. But, through the magic of editing, it appears to be about a mile from the beach!

This movie is part of the Horrible Horrors Volume 2 Box Set from Rhino, eight bad horror movies for only $25 retail (about $18 street!)! Worth the freight for fans of cheesy, crusty, musty, dusty, horror flicks.
