1	!!The My Little Pony Fanfic:
2	* TearJerker: [[spoiler: Twilight Sparkle’s death.]]

4	!!The film:
5	* AdaptationDisplacement: The movie is actually based on a book of the same name. It goes even further because many people only know of the Music/BillyIdol song and have no idea it's based on this movie.
6	* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: The hauntingly beautiful [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lmMVnBk5u-A main theme]] by Music/MauriceJarre.
7	* RetroactiveRecognition: The film's score is an early effort by renowned composer Music/MauriceJarre, who would later go on to score such films as ''Film/LawrenceOfArabia'', ''Film/DoctorZhivago'', and ''Film/JacobsLadder''.
8	* SpiritualSuccessor: There are several spiritual successors, such as:
9	** A 1968 British film ''[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corruption_(1968_film) Corruption]]'' (starring Creator/PeterCushing) has similar premise where a surgeon tries to restore his ([[MayDecemberRomance much younger]]) fiancée's beauty by repeatedly treating her with fluids extracted from the pituitary glands of murdered female victims.
10	** A 1988 French film ''Film/{{Faceless}}'' has a similar plot involving beautiful women who are abducted by Dr. Flamand's female assistant and kept hostage. The doctor uses the skin of the women to perform plastic surgery on his disfigured sister, but the experiments leave the victims mutilated and dead.
11	** The film apparently influenced Creator/JohnWoo for ''Film/FaceOff''. Coincidentally, Woo's trademark use of white doves in his films is similar to Christiane's dove-laden escape in this film's finale.
12	** The film inspired the idea of a featureless mask for Michael Myers in ''Franchise/{{Halloween}}''.
13	** Creator/PedroAlmodovar's 2011 film ''Film/LaPielQueHabito'' is also about a plastic surgeon who is working on a revolutionary breakthrough with skin, and there's a hidden patient wearing a mask similar to Christiane's (though the circumstances are '''much''' different).
14	* VindicatedByHistory: Initial critical reception of the film was very negative; one film critic ''nearly got fired for writing a positive review!'' Nowadays it is placed along the best that horror genre can offer.
15	* SugarWiki/VisualEffectsOfAwesome: The make-up effects still hold up wonderfully half a century later. Special mention to [[NightmareFace Christiane's face.]]
16	* TheWoobie: Christiane.
