The film was influenced by House of Wax.[1][2] It features stock footage from the 1961 Italian sword-and-sandal film Hercules in the Haunted World.[3]
Reception[]
Vicente Muñoz Álvarez in Cult Movies 2. Películas para la penumbra said of the film, "Naive in its approach, hasty in its development and clumsy in its outcome, Museo del horror, however, perfectly transmits the spirit of the best pulp literature and B series cinema of the time."[2]
