Trivia: There are 11 entries in the trivia list - like these:
- Having finished The Raven (1963), Roger Corman shot this film in only four days using the same set and the same two lead actors.
- Filmed in four days with five directors.
- Roger Corman shot the castle scenes with Boris Karloff so quickly that he didnt even bother to use slates to mark the beginnings of shots. Once he just had the actors walk downstairs one after another in succession, figuring he could later cut the single shot into separate shots that he could probably use somewhere.
