This was one of a number of titles that Derek had picked up from producer Tom Blakeley, in the early 70s. It starred Peter Cushing, Edward Judd and Carol Gray and had been available on standard 8 for some time. Shortly after I joined Derann in 1975 he had had a super 8 neg made. Like its sister production ‘Night of the Big Heat’ this too is set on an isolated island, but here the locals are facing a number of creatures that literally suck the bones out of their victims! An early example of the work of Marianne Frost! The title proved to be a very popular item on Super 8.
