The village featured is Shere in Surrey. It has hardly changed at all, including the square near the pub and the shop where he acquires the radio.
Willard Parker (Jeff Nolan) and Virginia Field (Peggy Hatton) were married in real life from 1951 until her death in 1992.
It was one of several 1960s British horror films to be scored by the avant-garde Elisabeth Lutyens, whose father, Edwin Lutyens, designed Manor House Lodge in Shere, a small property which features prominently at several points in the film.
Screenwriter Harry Spalding once said that someone said the title "as a joke" and "somehow it kind of stuck" and he always hated the title.
The Earth Dies Screaming was used in 1983 as the inspiration (and title) for an obscure Atari 2600 video game. The game is set in space, and involves shooting down satellites and fighter ships. This game was released by 20th Century Fox which also released a handful of Atari games based on movies, this one being the only one not based on a Fox film property. They were the distributors of the film, however, thus explaining why they had a license to use the film's title.
"Peggy Hatton: Do you know what's happened? Jeff Nolan: No I don't. I took a plane up this morning for a shakedown flight and when I went up everything was normal. When I came down, everyone was dead. I drove all day. You're the first folks I've seen alive."
"Quinn Taggart: You're kidding yourself Nolan. What happened earlier this morning, that was no accident. Whoever did it, won the war. All they're got to do is to move in and take over, and then it's every man for himself."
