What's left behind the scenes
- During filming, Ingrid Pitt and the other actresses found it very difficult to suppress their giggles. For example, in the scene where Pitt's character is supposed to bite Kate O'Mara's character on the neck, her vampire fangs constantly fell into the latter's décolletage.
- The film received an R rating from the American Film Association for depicting vampire bites on a woman's breasts.
- The film's producer, James Carreras, rejected Shirley Eaton's proposed casting for the lead role, citing her as being too old. Ultimately, the role went to Ingrid Pitt, who was only 10 months younger than Eaton.
- The role of the man in black was offered to Christopher Lee, but he declined. John Forbes-Robertson took the role instead. Later, in the film "The Legend of the Seven Golden Vampires" (1974), Forbes-Robertson also received a role originally offered to Lee.
- This is John Finch's first role in a feature film.
- The events take place in the 1700s, but at the general's ball, the orchestra plays several pieces by Johann Strauss Sr. (1804-1849) and Léo Delibes (1836-1891).
- Something resembling a tennis court is fenced off in front of the manor house with wire mesh fencing, which could not have existed at that time.
- When Ingrid Pitt's character lies in the coffin at the end of the film, she is wearing a nightgown made of smooth fabric. In subsequent scenes, the material of the nightgown can be seen to change to a textured one.
