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.
