According to the Spanish journalist Moncho Alpuente, '100 espaoles y el sexo', quoted in '[http://www.publico.es/culturas/pelicula-erotica-censura-franquismo.html La pelcula ertica que burl la censura sexual del franquismo]', Henrique Mario, Pblico, 24 April 2017. due to the sexual repression in Francoist Spain, arthouse cinemas were frequented by people expecting to watch more skin than what censorship allowed in commercial theaters. As a result, 'The Goat Horn' was a box-office hit in Spain since the censorship board had allowed sexual scenes.
