Did You Know?
| Trivia | Sir Christopher Lee stated in an interview at the time of this movie's American release that his reason for accepting the role was because he had never before appeared in a werewolf movie. See more » |
| Goofs | When Christopher Lee reads from the Book of Revelation, his Bible is opened near the middle, but this book is the last book of the Bible. Visually, it probably wouldn't have looked as good if the book was opened to the end, plus balancing it in his hand with all the weight on one side would have been difficult. See more » |

| Soundtracks | Howling See more » |
| Crazy Credits | The closing credits run over what appear to be deleted scenes and alternate footage, along with the same scene of Sybil Danning ripping off her shirt, which is repeated 17 times. See more » |
