Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Stuart Gordon shot this back-to-back with 'The Wonderful Ice Cream Suit' using the same Spanish crew — talk about tonal whiplash.
This is actually an adaptation of 'The Shadow Over Innsmouth,' not the 'Dagon' short story — Gordon just liked the title better and the fish-god fit his budget.
