Footnotes
Released on a double bill with The Terrornauts (1967). Director Freddie Francis claimed that the company had spent all their budget on that film, leaving nothing left for They Came from Beyond Space (1967). The double feature failed at the box office and has been described as “the two worst films the company ever produced”.
