Movie Trivia:

Much of the background music was originally used in Bride of Frankenstein (1935). Also, the song that played in the background during the sequence recapping the previous chapter's events was the theme for The Invisible Man (1933).
-
This was the final appearance of Jean Rogers as Dale Arden.
-
The serial debuted in March of 1938, just seven months before the infamous Orson Welles’ “War of the Worlds” Halloween broadcast. To cash in on the controversy caused by the radio show, the studio edited the serial into a feature film, Mars Attacks the World (1938), and released it to theaters in November of that year.
