Since many Americans were not familiar with the name "Dr. Mabuse," this film was also distributed in the US in its dubbed version as "The Invisible Horror."
The device that Prof. Erasmus (Rudolf Fernau) wears on his chest is the same prop that was used in Die 1000 Augen des Dr. Mabuse (1960) as a remote control for the blast door in the basement of the Hotel Luxor.
The movie is a production of West Germany.
