The same year that he worked on his classic mammoth sci-fi/creature masterpiece feature of “Fiend Without a Face” (1958) Crabtree also worked on 12 episodes of the classic Columbia Pictures/Screen Gems syndicated television masterpiece adaptation of Sir Walter Scott’s novel of Wilfred of Ivanhoe, “Ivanhoe” in 1958 with young Roger Moore in the title role.

Who was in the Richard Gordon-Arthur Crabtree* classic sci-fi/horror masterpiece production of “Fiend Without a Face” (1958)?
The players who appeared in the Richard Gordon-Arthur Crabtree* classic sci-fi/horror masterpiece production of “Fiend Without a Face” were Marshall Thompson (as Maj. Cummings), Kim Parker (as Barbara Griselle), Kynaston Reeves (as Prof. R.E. Walgate), Stanley Maxted (as Col. Butler), Terence “Terry” Kilburn (as Capt. Al Chester), James Dyrenforth (as the Mayor), Robert MacKenzie (as Constable Gibbons), Peter Madden (as Dr. Bradley), Gil Winfield (as Dr. Warren), Michael Balfour (as Sgt. Kasper), Lala Lloyd (as Amelia Adams), Shane Cordell (as a Nurse), Launce Maraschal (as Melville), E. Kerrigan Prescott (as an Atomic Engineer) and R. Meadows White (as Ben Adams).
Marshall Thompson previously appeared in the role of Tom Markel in Francis D. Lyon’s classic Universal Studios creature fantasy/thriller masterpiece with Faith Domergue, Richard Long, Kathleen Hughes, David Janssen (later of TV’s “The Fugitive” and “Harry O” fame), Jack Kelly and Olan Soule; “Cult of the Cobra” (1955).

“Fiend Without a Face:” A new genre for Arthur Crabtree*
According to Turner Classic Movies’ online trivia database section on the classic 1958 sci-fi creature masterpiece feature, it was reported that Arthur Crabtree* was reluctant about “Fiend Without a Face” on the first day of filming. The veteran director had never worked on a monster feature film production in his career. Crabtree did not get along well with Richard Gordon, John Croydon, Ronald Kinnoch and Charles F. Vetter and left the production for several days in protest of the producers. During Crabtree’s* absence for “Fiend Without a Face,” it was reported that actor Marshall Thompson directed some of the early scenes in the production.
“Fiend Without a Face:” Originally released as an MGM/Richard Gordon double-feature production in the United States plus promotional tie-ins
The Richard Gordon-Arthur Crabtree* classic sci-fi creature masterpiece production of “Fiend Without a Face” was released in the United States by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM) as a double-feature presentation with another classic horror-thriller masterpiece feature that was produced by Gordon. According to an original 1958 MGM exhibitors’ advertisement for the MGM/Richard Gordon double-feature presentation for participating theaters throughout the United States, “Fiend Without a Face” was paired with the Richard Gordon-Robert Day classic mystery/horror masterpiece production of “The Haunted Strangler” (1958) with silver screen horror legend Boris Karloff, along with Elizabeth Allan, Anthony Dawson, Jean Kent, Vera Day, Tim Turner, Diane Aubrey, Dorothy Gordon and Leslie Perrins.
Participating theaters in the United States were given options to play the two aforementioned 1958 Richard Gordon features in the MGM release as a double-feature program or choosing one individual film (preferring to show only “Fiend Without a Face” or “The Haunted Strangler”); according to additional details from the 1958 MGM exhibitors’ advertisement. MGM also encouraged participating theaters for the double-feature or individual Richard Gordon theatrical film programs to promote the Richard Gordon productions with promotional tie-in “gimmicks” to interest theatergoers from coast-to-coast. According to a segment from a rare 1958 MGM exhibitors’ manual that was unearthed on the blog site From Zombo’s Closet, one of the tie-in gimmicks for “Fiend Without a Face” included a “monster” parade full of theater workers and local actors to dress up as their favorite monster and/or creatures in a mock parade for the local theater’s theatrical screening of the 1958 Gordon productions under MGM release.
It was also reported that MGM provided a record of eerie sound effects to participating theaters to play in their lobby displays or custom marquee displays to promote the screening of the Gordon features of “Fiend Without a Face” and/or “The Haunted Strangler.” According to the original 1958 MGM exhibitors’ promotional manual, the aforementioned “eerie” source sound effects disc for theaters was not compiled from MGM’s own library of source sound effect recordings, but from pioneering background music and sound effects company Thomas J. Valentino, Inc. Some of the other tie-in gimmicks for the MGM/Gordon theatrical screenings of “Fiend Without a Face” and “The Haunted Strangler” included a customized truck with posters and lobby cards promoting “Fiend Without a Face” and/or “The Haunted Strangler” for participating theaters, a “Fiend” horror creature /monster “mask” contest was used for Sat. morning matinee screenings of “Fiend Without a Face;” where theaters were encouraged to team up with local department stores and/or toy stores for prizes for the best “Fiend” mask creation based on audience applause. Mock “first aid” lobbies were set up in participating theaters from coast-to-coast for nervous patrons during original theatrical screenings of “Fiend Without a Face” and/or “The Haunted Strangler.”
