The final film of Moe Howard, the leader of The Three Stooges. It was one of his only appearances outside of the trio since the days of silent films.
Any take where the actors could get their lines out was considered a print. There was no time for multiple takes.
According to director Eddie Saeta, the film's intentions were to make Doctor Death a new horror character that horror fans would embrace and to be the first in a series of films featuring the character.
The legendary Berry Gordy, who turned out to be one of the film's financiers, was allowed to direct one scene in it. This was where Dr. Death is trying to convince a spirit to enter a wife's body.
The film had a 12-day shooting schedule.
