What's left behind the scenes

  • The film has three alternative titles: “Castle of Terror,” “Lady of the Shadows,” and “The Haunting.”
  • According to popular belief, Corman shot the entire film in a few days after filming 'The Crow' using the same sets and partially the same actors (Nicholson and Karloff).
  • Before and after this film, director Roger Corman filmed adaptations of Edgar Allan Poe's works ( "The Raven," "The Masque of the Red Death") and considered "The Terror" part of that cycle. Corman's previous films ended with scenes of the destruction of a mansion or castle in flames, but this time he decided to destroy the castle with a flood. Considering the abundance of second unit directors working on the film (there were four of them), Jack Nicholson asked for – and received – permission to shoot the final flood scene.
  • One of the second unit directors was Francis Ford Coppola. It took him 11 days to shoot, and only 10 minutes of footage made it into the film.
  • Roger Corman shot a substantial portion of the film in just 4 days.
