I think the cinematographer on The Sadist later was cinematographer for The Deer Hunter.
From Wikipedia on The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed-Up Zombies:
“The cinematography/camera operating was done by three men who would go on to become major figures in cinematography: Joseph V. Mascelli, author of The Five Cs of Cinematography; Vilmos Zsigmond (listed as William Zsigmond), who won an Academy Award for his work on Close Encounters of the Third Kind; and László Kovács (listed as Leslie Kovacs).”
