The film was released theatrically in the United States in the winter of 1971 by Maron Films as Island of the Burning Damned where it was paired on a nationwide double bill with Godzilla's Revenge (1969), but the poster art confused it with Island of Terror (1966) which also starred Peter Cushing.[citation needed] The title was changed years later[when?] to Island Of The Burning Doomed for American television.[citation needed]
