| 1 | * BillingDisplacement: Venetia Stevenson is only billed with 'And Introducing' despite Nan being the central character [[spoiler: for the first half hour anyway]]. |
| 2 | * ExecutiveMeddling: The American release cuts out three lines in which characters invoke the name of Lucifer - despite being plot-relevant - because the censors found them offensive. |
| 3 | * FakeAmerican: Most of the cast were made up of British actors playing American characters. The exceptions are Venetia Stevenson, who plays Nan[[note]]Although English born, she grew up in California[[/note]] and actual American Betta St.John as Pat. |
| 4 | * FollowTheLeader: |
| 5 | ** The film bears several similarities to ''{{Film/Psycho}}'' - involving the protagonist [[spoiler: being murdered at the halfway mark, with her sibling then investigating her disappearance]]. Bonus points for both featuring creepy hotels prominently, as well as a climax [[spoiler: involving the villainess's withered face]]. But this one was actually in production first, and both were coincidentally released the same year. |
| 6 | ** During the 60s there would be several films dealing with devil worship and black magic - such as ''Film/TheWitches1966'', ''Film/TheDevilRidesOut'', ''Film/EyeOfTheDevil'' and ''Film/TheWickerMan1973''. |
| 7 | * WhatCouldHaveBeen: |
| 8 | ** The story was intended as a pilot for a horror series with Boris Karloff starring. It was never made and the script instead became a standalone film. |
| 9 | ** Following on from the above, the pilot would have ended with [[spoiler: Nan's sudden death]]. The second half of the film added the plot of [[spoiler: Dick and Bill investigating her disappearance]]. |
| 10 | * YouLookFamiliar: If you look at the opening scene, two old women appear again when Nan visits the town. |
