Film facts:
The film was apparently (partly) the inspiration for writer/director John Carpenter’s 1980 horror film The Fog.

The film is mentioned in Stephen King’s 1986 horror novel It as having been watched by one of the book’s protagonists (Richie Tozier) and that the movie terrified him; a crawling eye creature later appears as a manifestation of It, the novel’s title monster.

A song called ‘Crawling Eye’ was featured on American horror punk band the Misfits’ 1999 album Famous Monsters; the song’s lyrics directly referenced the plot of the film.
