The movies are still very well known in Germany today and there are frequent reruns of them on television – even if a large part of their appeal is their high camp factor. Since the Edgar Wallace style is a stock motive of German filmmaking, there are numerous parodies and spoofs, most recently the 2004 movie "Der WiXXer" (approximately "The Wanker", a parody of "Der Hexer") and its 2007 sequel "Neues vom WiXXer" (a parody of "Neues vom Hexer"), making fun of the now-clichéd conventions of the genre.
