Did you know
ā¢ Like certain films from other producers, this is often mistaken for a "Hammer" production. This was caused by the participation of "Hammer" veteran lead actors Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing, supporting players Duncan Lamont and Michael Ripper, make-up artist Roy Ashton, and cinematographer turned director Freddie Francis.
ā¢ Freddie Francis took over directing from Don Sharp on short notice.
ā¢ Larry Taylor was dubbed by Michael Ripper.

A Good Project that Fails for Too Many Ingredients
Pretty good Tigon terror film with the two greatest horror stars : Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee
One of the most fascinating Peter Cushing/Christopher Lee collaborations.
