Added DiffLines:
* ChristmasRushed: To meet deadlines, some of the special effects weren't finished. The 2012 Blu-Ray notably fixed many of them; the scene with the GiantSpider being given a shadow and CGI smoke, flames added behind the Angel of Death and some matte lines tidied up.
Added DiffLines:
** Subverted in another case. Hammer wanted a more typical MsFanservice in the role of Tanith, but director Terence Fisher fought to have Nike Arrighi.
Added DiffLines:
* NeverWorkWithChildrenOrAnimals: The horse used for the Angel of Death scene was asthmatic and thus couldn't do too much in one go - resulting in a lot of slow-motion and repeated shots.
Added DiffLines:
** A script in 1963 was rejected by Universal for being "too English".
