Following the success of Zombi II (1979) and Emanuelle and the Last Cannibals (1977), producer Fabrizio De Angelis came up with the idea of cashing in on both films’ subjects at the same time. He reused the basic story of Zombi II and added elements of cannibal films to come up with Zombie Holocaust. For it’s U.S. release it was retitled Doctor Butcher, M.D. This version contained a 2½ minute sequence from an unfinished American film, and a different music score.
