- TriviaAccording to director Ed Adlum, a friend of his invited him to Universal Studios for an opportunity to meet Steven Spielberg a few years after the huge success of Jaws (1975). He shook Spielberg's hand, and told him that he used to be a filmmaker. When Spielberg asked what movies he had directed, he replied, "'Invasion of the Blood Farmers'." Spielberg immediately turned around and walked away without saying a single word.
- GoofsConstant mix of day and night shots, with dialog that further demonstrates the mismatches (i.e, saying "Good night" in broad daylight).

Featured review
Invasion of the Sangroid Druids...
I was compelled for quite a long time to watch Invasion of the Blood Farmers, which has been described as the "companion" to Shriek of the Mutilated (one of my favorite schlocky films). The same folks behind that masterpiece created this one. I finally caved in and bought the DVD. From the opening scene, where the victim is stumbling down the road looking like he's doing some strange dance while people in the bar (called the Huddle 2, no less!) make comments about him being loaded, I wasn't disappointed. Very similar to Shriek in many ways, unfortunately, down the to background music, which is by a composer named Bohuslav Martinu, I've learned. Great soundtrack, but this similarity kind of detracted a bit for me. But there are some great moments....and some familiar faces, for those who have seen Shriek! You'll see a lovable, kooky old professor and his protege that discover a blood sample that grows and looks like fizzy cherry soda! A freaky druid later sucks the blood from a dog...which suddenly becomes a white shaggy bathroom rug! Weirdo druids and their queen who rests in a plexiglass coffin! The bottom line, though, for me was that it wasn't quite as compelling as Shriek...the end, for example, was kind of lame and predictable. HOWEVER...if you are one of those who are into this kind of cheese-a-rama horror (which, for me, differs from those who are into slasher movies) you will enjoy.
