Did you know

• The "zap" visual from the ray-gun toys was accomplished by a mirror glued on to the nozzle and pointed at the camera, which was hit by the "deadly" glare.

• The dialogue was recorded first, then the actors had to rehearse and lip-sync to the prerecorded dialogue during the takes. This is the opposite of the normal procedure in which an actor's dialogue may be looped during post-production.

• Unable to afford time on a soundstage to film Betty Morgan's home, director Tom Graeff posed as a UCLA student directing a student project. An elderly woman allowed him to film in her home for free.
