Interesting facts

The Blood Beast Terror is a 1968 British horror film directed by Vernon Sewell and starring Peter Cushing, Robert Flemyng and Wanda Ventham. It was written by Peter Bryan. It was released in the UK by Tigon in February 1968, and in the United States by Pacemaker Pictures on a double-bill with Slaughter of the Vampires (1962).

Production

The budget was circa £40,000 and it was the first film to be made under the Tigon British Film Productions banner.

Vernon Sewell said "the idea amused me, and Peter Cushing was a great friend of mine, who I liked very, very much. And, again, I was in complete control, nobody has any – you see I could do what exactly what I damn well liked!" The opening scene, set in Africa, was shot on the River Hamble.

Cushing is said to have considered The Blood Beast Terror to be his worst film.
