- 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.
- Quotes
Giselle: The sign of the pentagram...
Jack Whittier: Oh, the Pentagon is behind all this?
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.

Messy Howl
Werewolf of Washington, The (1973)
* 1/2 (out of 4)
Washington Press Secretary (Dean Stockwell) is banging the President's daughter when he is sent to Transylvania where he is bitten by a werewolf. He returns to Washington and starts killing off various members of congress. This could certainly benefit from the "so bad it's good" thing because this turkey is all over the map. The director doesn't seem to know if he wants to make a political satire, a horror spoof or an actual horror film. The werewolf makeup is rather pathetic but there are a few funny spoofs including the wolf constantly acting like a dog. One scene has the werewolf licking up a dwarf, which must be a first for werewolf films.
