Working titles for this story included The Catacombs of Death and The Curse of Mandragora. The ultimate name references the "masques" (which is a variant spelling of "masks") worn by the Brotherhood of Demnos and the masque, entertainment performed by masked players, that later plays a key role in the plot.
Location shooting for the serial was done at the resort of Portmeirion in Wales, better known as the setting for the cult series The Prisoner.
