Cast[edit]

Production[edit]

In a 1978 interview with the Los Angeles Times, co-screenwriter Ronald Silkosky said that the film had been heavily trimmed by New World Pictures prior to release.

Release[edit]

The film was rereleased several times with titles such as Assault in Paradise, Maniac, The Town That Cried Terror and Night Hunter.

An extended 104-minute alternate version is included as a bonus feature on the Blu-ray disc release of the film by Code Red.[2]
