-* According to film legend, a re-cut version of the first film was made, entitled ''Revenge from Planet Ape'', consisting of a couple minutes of graphic nudity and violence being removed and a scene describing Templar history getting cut, and a few seconds of risible narration added to the beginning to make a loose connection to the then-popular ''Planet of the Apes'' film franchise:  3000 years ago a simian civilization of super intelligent apes struggled with man to gain control of the planet. In the end man conquered ape after a brutal battle which saw him destroy the ape, his culture and society. After this battle man tortured and killed all the ape prisoners by piercing their eyes with a red hot pokers. One of the prisoners, who was also the leader of the apes, vowed they would return from the dead to avenge man's brutality at a point in time before man destroyed Earth himself.  Tagline:  "See apes rise from their graves to destroy man in a battle that survives death!"

 ===Tentacle Ratings===
 A rough [[Tentacle Ratings|measure]] of how "Lovecraftian" the work is:
-* S____ (One Tentacle:  Debateably Lovecraftian; has almost no direct connection to Lovecraft's work)
+* Ss___ (One and a Half Tentacles:  Debateably Lovecraftian; has almost no direct connection to Lovecraft's work)
-I've never seen this series of films, but from the descriptions I've read it sounds like the most "Lovecraftian" parts might be the weird, sinister atmosphere, the seaside locations found in a couple of the entries, and the eerie lich/mummy/ghoul/vampire Knights Templar creatures....
