In the film the space vampire paralyzes her victims with her glowing eyes, and late in the film she appears to direct a kind of "heat vision" from her eyes to burn through a rope that has been used to confine her.

[[Stephanie Rothman]] assisted on the film; she had also worked with Corman and Harrington on ''[[Voyage to the Prehistoric Planet]]''.
