Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- MGM forced Curtis to cut over 35 minutes from his finished film and gave him only 24 hours to do the job, taking it from approximately 129 minutes to about 94, a reason often cited for the film's lack of performance.
- Dan Curtis originally wanted a direct sequel that revived the vampire Barnabas Collins, but actor Jonathan Frid refused to play the role again for fear of being typecast; rather than recast, Curtis worked with writer Sam Hall to concoct an all-new storyline.
