General Notes:
As stated on 10,000 Bullets:
"When Island of the Fishmen was released theatrically in the U.S. under the title “Something Waits in the Dark” and it performed poorly at the box office. The film was subsequently re-titled “Screamers”, new scenes were shot and the film was re-edited. Also additional cast members like Mel Ferrer and Cameron Mitchell where cast for these additional scenes. Another area where Island of the Fishmen differs from Screamers is that they feature different scores. The score for the version known as Screamers is credited to Sandy Berman, while all other versions list Luciano Michelini also the composer of the film’s score." -
