Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe script for the film was unusual. It was typed sideways on legal-sized paper, with each side of the page corresponding to what happens on each side of the split-screen. Writer Richard L. Bare had trouble finding a typewriter with a wide enough carriage to accommodate the longer paper.
- GoofsAs Delores Hamilton looks around the hotel lobby, her head moves slightly on the right side of the split-screen but doesn't on the left.
- Quotes
Rick Stewart: We don't need any beach freaks makin' out with the guests!
- Alternate versionsWarner Archive release makes several crude cuts for violence, causing jump cuts and a skipping soundtrack. -The first attack on a hotel guest is shorter. -The scene of a severed arm falling from a room service cart is removed; we only see a hand begin to slide out. -When the killer operates a guillotine, the Archive version cuts directly from the descending blade to the aftermath - there isn't even an impact sound! -The scene of a head falling off the jostled body of a victim has been removed. -A body impaled on a spiked fence been reduced from a zoom-closeup and a wide shot to about 10 frames of the wide shot.

Featured review
Child of the early 70's - enjoying the "frills" of movie making!
"Wicked, Wicked" was a film that I waited with such anticipation to see at the age of 12 - after seeing the promo trailer on television and the poster in the theater my curiosity was aroused.
I loved films as a child - any film. As long as it seemed like an event. I was not big on classics at the time so my catalog was being developed. I don't think that at the time it was supposed to be a great film.
It was fun however. And later in 1976 - when my parents owned a theater I persuaded my father to get "Wicked, Wicked" as a second feature for "Demon Seed" - it is a fun film and only for the excitement as "Earthquake" has Sensurround as a gimmick - "DUO-VISION" was the gimmick.
See it for the excitement - not for the logging into your classic diary. It does make you laugh and wonder about the time period. Not much different from today - I have walked out on several of todays movie, while sitting through all of "Wicked, Wicked" as a child.
It is fun!!!
