Trivia
- There are actually eight actors playing eight different zombies in the film, although it appears that there are many more.
- Jay Maeder, who plays one of the zombies, is actually a reporter for the Miami Herald. He wrote a article in the August 10, 1975 Sunday Miami Herald about his experience acting the part of a Nazi zombie for the Shock Waves movie. The article was titled "I was a Zombie". During filming, he never told anyone involved with the movie that he was a reporter.
- The wreck of the Nazi freighter where the zombies reside is the SS Sapona, a concrete-hulled cargo steamer that ran aground near Bimini in the western Bahamas during a hurricane in 1926.
- The zombies weren't originally supposed to be wearing goggles but when extra Max Trumpton returned from recent glaucoma surgery in protective eyewear the director liked the 'look' so much he instructed the wardrobe department to make a pair for each zombie.
