Movie Trivia: The first Canadian film to be widely distributed in the United States, and the only Canadian 3-D feature. Canada's first film in the horror genre. Leo Leyden's first movie performance. According to a piece on the film in Filmfax (issue #25), Slavko Vorkapich's ideas for the 3-D sequences were ultimately too expensive to be used, and Julian Roffman did much of the conceptual work himself. Vorkapich's name remained in the credits because of a "pay or play" option in his contract.
