⁉️ THE TRIVIA XPERIMENT ❌🚀
What's with the unusual spelling of Xperiment?
It was related to getting an 'X' Certificate from the BBFC, restricting admission to persons over the age of sixteen. The rating was used as a marketing ploy - successfully.
Market research showed that audiences liked the horror part of this film better, and so Hammer Films adjusted and became synonymous with horror as we know it today.
if a hideous agglomeration of alien cactoid zoo creatures absorbs the royal family, does it become the rightful ruler of the british empire #monsterdon
@jonny definitely yes, that's in the Succession Act of 1548

Film critic Bill Warren on Wordsworth's performance:
"All Carroon's anguish and torment are conveyed in one of the best mime performances in horror and science fiction films... A sequence in which he is riding in a car with his wife is uncanny: only the alien is visible for a long moment".

(internet connection is iffy 😬)
👀 Check out actress Margia Dean, who plays Judith Carroon. The former beauty queen got the job because she was "associated with" 20th Century Fox president, Spyros Skouras.
Val Guest: "She was a sweet girl, but she couldn't act".
Her American accent was problematic so her lines were dubbed later.

👀 Watch for a scene showing the three astronauts in space, we see one of them walking up the left wall of the circular cabin.
❓ Does it remind you of the scene in 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) where the stewardess walks on the wall of a circular corridor? Maybe not a coincidence.

👀 Keep your eye on Richard Wordsworth, the guy cast by Val Guest as the hapless Victor Carroon because "he had the right sort of face for the part".
His performance is frequently compared with that of Boris Karloff in Frankenstein (1931).
Guest directed Wordsworth to "hold back just a mite of what you're feeling". That way the role would not be overplayed. (Wordsworth had been working in the theater.)

i'm at maybe the lowest comprehension of any movie for awhile because my computer kept crashing, so i've only seen a few minutes, but in my opinion it's only reasonable to believe that anyone who has gone to space is irreparably haunted by demons and cosmic what have yous and that's just part of the gig #monsterdon
@jonny I assume space was just like that until they cleared out all the demons and what not in the 70''s

Quatermass - whatever weird pronunciation is used - is addressed as mister or doctor, and once in this film he referred to as a professor. This is due to significant script rewrites.
