Production
Larry Buchanan had made Free, White and 21 (1963) which was distributed by AIP. They hired the director to make a series of low budget colour remakes of old AIP films, of which this was the first. Buchanan later called them his "wretched remakes".
The movie was shot in 16mm over several weeks in Dallas. John Ashley was imported from Hollywood but the rest of the cast were locals. Ashley says his salary took up more than half the budget.
Most of the film was shot at the ranch of wealthy businessman Gordon McLendon. Ashley claims the film ranks up "with some of the worst all-time horror films ever made" but says it was a professional operation and Buchanan treated him very well.

Famous quotes containing the word production:
“The problem of culture is seldom grasped correctly. The goal of a culture is not the greatest possible happiness of a people, nor is it the unhindered development of all their talents; instead, culture shows itself in the correct proportion of these developments. Its aim points beyond earthly happiness: the production of great works is the aim of culture.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“By bourgeoisie is meant the class of modern capitalists, owners of the means of social production and employers of wage labor. By proletariat, the class of modern wage laborers who, having no means of production of their own, are reduced to selling their labor power in order to live.”
—Friedrich Engels (1820–1895)
“... this dream that men shall cease to waste strength in competition and shall come to pool their powers of production is coming to pass all over the earth.”
—Jane Addams (1860–1935)
