The "zap" visual from the ray-gun toys was accomplished by a mirror glued on to the nozzle and pointed at the camera, which was hit by the "deadly" glare.

Unable to afford time on a soundstage to film Betty Morgan's home, director Tom Graeff posed as a UCLA student directing a student project. An elderly woman allowed him to film in her home for free.
The film's budget was so tight that the "focusing disintegrator" was actually a Hubley's Atomic Disintegrator toy cap gun, bought for a dime, with a flashbulb added as a beam. In some scenes, "Hubley's" is clearly embossed on the side of the gun. Atomic Disintegrators can be bought today on eBay for more than $300.
The stock music score would later be re-mixed and featured in Night of the Living Dead (1968).

"Derek: You make me angry. But I like you very much."
