Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
George Antheil's original score was so experimental that 1955 distributors demanded narration be added—creating the infamous alternate version 'Daughter of Horror.'
This midnight movie staple later appeared in 'The Blob' (1958) as the film playing during the theater attack scene—meta-commentary on audiences who ignore art.
