Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Trivia

This was Vincent Price's final horror project; he recorded his wraparounds separately due to health issues, never meeting the other actors.

Cultural

A time capsule of 1986 direct-to-video ambition—when 'shot on video' meant 'future cult artifact' rather than 'TikTok'.
