Release.
The film was released in the U.S. in 1969 on a double feature with the 1967 European film "The Blood Demon". In 1969, a practice arose in some states (Rhode Island in particular) wherein the local newspapers began omitting the word "blood" from the titles of films they were advertising. In certain areas, "Mad Doctor" was advertised as "The Mad Doctor of Crimson Island" and "The Blood Demon" became "The Crimson Demon", etc.
