Trivia
Win Condict had to be sewn into the rubber Slithis costume every day because said outfit didn't have any snaps or zippers. Moreover, once Condict was in the costume he had to stay in it for the entire duration of a day's shooting.

Goofs
In the final confrontation scene on the boat, the ship's captain's hat is on, then off, then on, then off, it happens several times, as he's battling Slithis.

Quotes
Dr. Erin Burick: Dennis Falt was one of the stars of the film, playing Dr. John, while J.C. Claire was a day player, playing Dr. Erin Burick. You've mixed them up.

Haven't seen it since 1978 but it made an impression!

So I was 10 years old when this movie played in the theater in Marshall, Missouri. And unlike any other movie that I had experienced there. During the climatic suspense parts of the movie there was a person who would burst out from the side of the screen in a gorilla costume and accost movie viewers at he front of the theater! That made it a night to remember. I think I saw Slithis 3 times during it's run. Sure it's cheesy...but it was entertaining.
