Tempest was inspired to write the song after watching the Italian horror film The Beyond.[1]
In 1985 Europe recorded a new version of the song, which was used as a B-side for the single "Rock the Night". Later the version was included in Rock Candy Records reissue of The Final Countdown.

gollark: It took lots of people complaining and several weeks to change the rules of the hub to something remotely sane, and they're still broken and you don't even get told why you're banned.
