   The film inspired the name of the highly influential doom metal band Black Sabbath. When questioned individually, no member of the band tells the story the same way. The most consistently repeated details are that Geezer Butler or Tony Iommi saw a large crowd queuing to see this film outside a theater in 1968. Black Sabbath, then known as Earth, were playing small clubs around Birmingham. Comparing the size of the crowd waiting to see this film with the turnout at their own shows, they concluded that music that frightened people would sell more tickets. Writing and improvisation sessions eventually produced a song called Black Sabbath, which was such a major change of direction (while still keeping its roots in blues, jazz and soul) that they kept the band's name and from then on wrote all their music in a similar style.
