It was made in 1968 by a UK company Tigon films and was directed by Michael Reeves. when it was released it was called "The conqueror worm" this is due to a poem called "The conqueror worm" by written Edger Allen Poe. When the film was released it was the end of the hippie era. Anti-authority was destroying many lives and towns so this was a good way to rebuild bridges in the UK, and why we shouldn't put up with random acts of violence.
When the film was released the BBFC (British board of film censorship now known as the British board of film certificates) censored allot of the scenes and the length of the screams. Were as nowadays they put certificates on them.
The lead roll was given to Vincent Price. But first off the film writers wanted another man to play the roll but due to the change in actor they needed to re-write the script to fit Vincent Price.
