This seemingly all-American B-movie actually began life in Britain, when producer Richard Gordon was handed a copy of Weird Tales by his brother, Alex. Their stop-motion sequences of crawling fiends would soon become the most celebrated in the movie. They were working on their effects continuously while we were shooting, and then most of the special effects scenes were finished after the principal shoot was over. It did take rather longer than we expected, and the picture went way over schedule in the post-production because of the special effects.
The bloodletting was such that Gordon had a hard time getting the movie past the censors of the day. The censors in the United States also trimmed it slightly, for the MGM distribution, before we could get the Code seal.
Cuts notwithstanding, Fiend Without A Face was unusually full-on for a late 50s movie. The melting, exploding, oozing creatures in Gremlins appear to be influenced by the histrionic deaths in Fiend.
