• The 40-foot alien monster was actually a marionette about 15 inches high. It was essentially a combination of a rat, bat, spider, and crab.

• Director Ib Melchior was given just 9 days to shoot the film, on a budget of $200,000.

• $54,000 - or just over a quarter of the film's budget - was spent turning the footage into the so-called Cinemagic process.
