The main writer, Charles Griffith, wrote the entire script in iambic pentameter. It later was changed at Corman's request:
"It was in iambic pentameter and I had to rewrite it after it was ready to shoot because somebody told Roger that they didn’t understand it. Roger would give it to anybody to read or anybody out on the street. He’d send girls out with scripts." -Griffith
The co-writer was Mark Hanna, who went on to write "Attack of the 50-Foot Woman"
(starring Allison Hayes, who had a supporting role in "The Undead")
