Trivia
-
Filming Location(s): Boston,
Massachusetts, Concord, Massachusetts, Scituate, Massachusetts,
New York City, New York, and De Paolis Studios: Rome, Lazio, Italy.
-
Alternate Tagline(s): Can anyone survive
the demented marauding zombies in... and BEWARE THE DEMON FORCES OF THE...BLOOD BEASTS.
-
One early American VHS release got several of the film's reels
out of order, further confusing the already erratic story.
-
The trailers for the US release were narrated by Brother Theodore.
-
Apparently Laura Gittleson's death was originally longer and
nastier, included and eye gouging, a Fulci regular. It was cut because Fulci didn't think the effects were realistic
enough.
-
The Anchor Bay release is the complete, uncut version (All
gore and violence included).
Goofs
-
After Laura Gittleson is killed there is a shot
of her lying on the floor, eyes closed and mouth open. A moment later, Freudstein is dragging her to the basement,
eyes open and mouth closed. Later in the film, she's hanging in the basement, eyes and mouth both open.
-
When Dr. Boyle and his family arrive in Boston, the crew's reflection
can be seen on the car before Mrs. Boyle gets out.
