 * Enemy Rising Behind: The maggot towards Daimeia.
 * Every One Remembers the Stripper: The worm scene.
 * Fan Service / Fan Disservice: The...worm scene...

 * Uncle Martin (or if you prefer, Mr. Hand) is Kore the cook.
 * Joanie is the empath Alluma.
 * Karmic Death:
 * New Meat:
 * Old Shame: Actually averted, no one really seems to be that ashamed of working on it, not even Taaffe O'Connell, who played Daimeia.
 * Rape As Drama: Daimeia gets raped to death by a huge monster maggot in the film's most INFAMOUS scene.
 * Roger Corman: Produced, not directed.
 * The Voiceless: Quuhod. He has only one line: "I live...and I die... by the crystals."
