Any idea at what point this became ENTER THE DEVIL? Was the name change anything to do with the British horror film - also from 1972 - bearing the same title?
This was making the rounds as ENTER THE DEVIL by the summer of 1974, co-billed with SCHOOL OF FEAR (from Sunset International). I believe the British film DISCIPLE OF DEATH was already on TV by then, from Avco Embassy-TV.
Certainly by 1973, the successes of The Exorcist and Enter the Dragon might have tempted the producers to change the title to something a little more timely.

This is the first time I noticed the co-feature: Peter Breck in A MAN FOR HANGING! That has gotta be a rarity! And I wanna see it.
ENTER THE DEVIL is pretty good.
