Trivia
Many of the 500 Florida frogs and 100 South American cane toads purchased for use in the film escaped during production.

Goofs
When Pickett Smith is wandering around the island, he sees Grover lying face down in a marsh, where he was killed by being bitten by a venomous snake. Grover, however, is clearly still breathing.

Quotes
Clint Crockett: Well it seems like everyone in our family is hung-up on frogs.

Crazy credits
After the closing credits fade out, an animated frog hops onscreen with a human hand hanging out of its mouth, after which it turns to face the audience and slurps the hand into its mouth, then it turns away from the audience and hops off-screen.

Alternate versions
In the film's pre-release prints, Iris (Holly Irving) dies by being forced into a quicksand pool by a giant butterfly and then drowning in it rather than dying by snakebite. The scene, however, was thought to be too silly-looking and, thus, it was cut. Clips of the cut scene can still be glimpsed in the film's theatrical trailer, however.

Edited from Bloody Mama (1970)

Cheesy Fun

A group of hapless victims celebrate a birthday on an island estate crawling with evil frogs.

By no means should this be considered a good film, but it has a certain charm that is hard to replicate. American International made some gems, and this is one of them. Later it was picked up by MGM. And, I believe, a Blu-ray was released by Scream Factory. Though you can never have enough special features.

Ray Milland is a joy to watch, whether in his best work ("Lost Weekend") or some of his worst. Indeed, towards the end of his career, he seemed to appear in just about anything. We also get Sam Elliott, though he is almost unrecognizable without his trademark mustache.
