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.
