Trivia
After leaving the drive-in circuit in the early 1970s, this movie fell into the public domain. It remained obscure until the mid-1980s, when it appeared on Movie Macabre (1981). Afterward, it began developing a cult following that grew with its eventual release on home video.

Goofs
Main character Jeffrey Butler is riding with John Carradine, who plays Towman. Butler and Carradine have decided to go out to the Butler house to see what is going on. Instead, Towman pulls into the drive of another house, and Jeffrey Butler says, "Towman this isn't my house, it's Tess'. Tess is another of the townspeople, and it is her house, but Jeffrey would not have known that because he has never been to the town before.

Quotes
Diane Adams: How old are you?
Jeffrey Butler: You mean how many years have I lived?

Crazy credits
The word 'Bloody' in the opening title card is red, where as the text of the rest of the credits are white.

Mildly Suspenseful Holiday Slasher Flick...

Preceding the "psycho killer on a rampage on a holiday" era of horror films by a few years, this film manages to wring a fair amount of suspense and some well-directed murder scenes out of its miniscule budget. An eerie musical score, Andy Warhol veterans Ondine & Candy Darling in cameo roles, & the presence of Mary Woronov aid in the film's success. One complaint: It is VERY poorly produced resulting in most of the film being overly dark.
