Director Albert Band later went on to serve as executive producer of Disney's Honey I Blew Up the Kid in 1992, while writer Louis Garfinkle went on to pen screenplays for The Doberman Gang (1972, a crime farce starring dogs) and Little Cigars (1973, a crime farce starring midgets).

Star Richard Boone trained as an actor alongside Marlon Brando, Karl Malden, Eva Marie Saint and Julie Harris. After more or less retiring from movies, he settled in Honolulu - and had the odd distinction of convincing the makers of Hawaii Five-O to set up production in Honolulu rather than their original spot: San Pedro. One of his very last roles was as the voice of Smaug in the Rankin-Bass animated version of The Hobbit in 1977.

Meanwhile co-star Theodore Bikel was an Austrian-born American folk singer. He co-founded the Newport Folk Festival, along with Pete Seeger and George Wein, in 1961. The following year, he became the first singer to perform a cover version of Bob Dylan's "Blowin' in the Wind."

When Gerald Fried recorded his score for I Bury the Living (written for harpsichord and orchestra) at Hollywood's Capital Studios, the movie was still called The Killer on the Wall. Distributors at United Artists opted to rename the film with something more exploitable and lurid.
