Interesting facts

Sting of Death is a 1966 American science fiction horror film directed by William Grefé, written by William Kerwin, and starring Joe Morrison, Valerie Hawkins, Deanna Lund, John Vella, and Jack Nagle. Its plot concerns five female college students who head to the Florida Everglades for a holiday, but instead of fun in the sun, run into trouble with a mutated, bloodthirsty, and quite deadly jellyfish-man-monster.

Production

Sting of Death is a regional horror film, following film historian Brian Albright's definition. Regional films in general "were conceived, produced and often distributed entirely in corners of the country not typically associated with the entertainment industry—from the backwoods of Utah to the bayous of Louisiana to the outer boroughs of New York.

Although listed in the credits as "Special Singing Guest Star", Sedaka is not visible in the movie. He is only heard singing "Do the Jellyfish" as the students perform the dance during the pool party. The song is included on the Sedaka LP Oh Carol: The Complete Recordings, 1955–66, released on Bear Family Records in 2003.
