Horror Trivia
The Head was released in the US in June 1963. It shared a double bill with City of the Dead (1960), which is also known as Horror Hotel, starring Christopher Lee.
Michel Simon had previously used tainted makeup in another film. His face and body were partially paralyzed. He took the role in The Head because he needed money, but also because only his head would be shown. Simon expected little success for The Head, however, The Head achieved success in the US and Europe.
