1* FollowTheLeader: The film was created primarily to capitalize on the success of ''Film/WitchfinderGeneral''.
2* PlayingAgainstType:
3** While Creator/HerbertLom has played a number of villains, he's most known for the comically villainous Charles Dreyfus from the ''Pink Panther'' film series. This is by far the nastiest person Lom has ever played, and the character has zero redeeming qualities. Audiences familiar with his more well-known roles or who are waiting for the character to soften are going to be in for a major shock. It's not very different than the shock audiences got from Creator/VincentPrice in ''Film/WitchfinderGeneral''.
4** Also, Creator/UdoKier, who is mostly known for sinister types ends up playing a nominal hero, who ends up quite unlike the roles he's most known for, after his character has a HeelFaceTurn.
5* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Creator/AntonDiffring was considered for the role of the Albino prior to Creator/ReggieNalder being cast.
