A left-over of the campy horror films of the late-Sixties and early-Seventies, this style of filmmaking would become practically extinct thanks to the new breed of horror films following the critical success of The Exocist in 1973. Director Jim Clark blamed the failure of the film on producer Milton Subotsky who according to him butchered it beyond recognition during the editing. Personally, I don't think anything could have saved it. Quarry didn't get along with anybody the whole time and felt that he should have been cast in Cushing's part which would have been more true to the original book it was based on. Price was so unhappy with the state of the scripts he was being offered after the film wrapped that he practically swore off horror roles altogether. Cushing is really the only one who showed up, did his job and didn't complain.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
