- TriviaDirector Milton Moses Ginsberg and cast members Dean Stockwell, Biff McGuire and Lenka Peterson all passed away in 2021.
- GoofsAt about the 47 minute mark, the werewolf bursts out of the darkness at center screen to attack the Hippy Chick in the phone booth. Unfortunately, the actor, as he mounts the stairs from the left seconds before to get into position, breaks out of the light shadow enough to distract from the 'boo' effect.

Giselle: Pent-a-gram.
- Alternate versionsIn 2021, director Milton Moses Ginsburg prepared a new edit of the film. Previously contractually obligated to deliver a near-90-minute feature, Ginsburg reduced it to 74 minutes, cutting what he felt was needless padding, changing the opening scenes set in Hungary from color to black-and-white, and making some other minor changes to the musical score.

Featured review
A fun 90 mins for werewolf fans
Here's an oddity. It's a werewolf movie which operates as a comedy about a Whitehouse press secretary who is bitten by a lycanthrope while stationed in Hungary. He is recalled to Washington and winds up killing a bunch of people connected to the President. This came out during the Watergate scandal and the main character does stay in that famous hotel but I think it would be a stretch to push this one too far as a satire, as the material is a bit thin for that; after all, one of the best gags has our hero getting his fingers jammed in a ball while bowling pre-full moon. Its still kind of hard to dislike though, and I am always a sucker for werewolf make-up. The transformation scenes were actually not bad and Dean Stockwell is pretty committed in the main role - he looked wired to be perfectly honest. Overall, a fun 90 mins for werewolf fans.
