Top Trivia
For the title scene, Schmageggie employed the services of FX whizz Ron Rancini, who previously worked with Schmageggie on Why Is Everybody Whispering?? (1953), Yikes! Giants Can't Rumba! (1959) and Music Is Candy For The Ears (1961). Ron constructed a human head at first thought to be a marvel of effects, but which was quickly deemed to be a real human head, taken from a Puerto Rican prostitute Schmageggie was known to liaise with. In atypical style, Schmageggie responded to any accusations of murder with severe beatings and recriminations.

Critical Reception
Puritanical newspaper 'Printed by the Prophet' called upon all 15 of its subscribers to rally against the opening of this film. It doesn't sound like much, but these 15 people were of the most influential business groups in the United states and managed to ban all screenings of this film throughout the country. A small 10 seat cinema in Kerala, India was able to screen the movie for a week as they claimed their Hindu God Ramageshni appeared in the areola of Clara Dumfries.
