She later went on to write a pretty successful series of novels beginning with THE MANY COLORED LAND--I've got a galley of that somewhere. Here's the official word from wikipedia: Her story "The Dune Roller", published under the name "Judy Dikty", was filmed in 1972 as The Cremators. “The more elaborate our means of communication, the less we communicate.” Joseph Priestley

Oh, it's free... Film Warning #437: Beware of musical scores credited to companies (Post Production Associates). I know! I had exactly the same thought while reading the credits. By the way, I saw it on Netflix and the image was pretty clear. So I guess if one really wanted to enjoy this movie that would be one way to see it.

Aug 18 11 10:48 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	First time seeing it on THISTV today. Pure cheesy fun. The suit actually grew on me as I watched the film and found myself rootin' for ole' Octy by the last frame. At the same time, a lot of folks on here always say, 'Poor Bela'.....what about Poor Kerwin Matthews..... Anybody else get a GARGOYLES type vibe from this one!? Wish I coulda stayed home for The Curse Of The Faceless Man after this, but had to go back to work (Ragum-Fragum!).....
