Did you know

• William Castle: [gimmick] The movie was filmed in "Illusion-O" and a special viewer was needed to see the ghosts. This resulted in a number of sources incorrectly stating that the film was originally shown in 3D. The "ghost viewers" contained a red filter and a blue filter, but unlike 3D viewers/glasses, both eyes would look through the same color filter. The red filter would cause the ghostly images to intensify while the blue filter caused the images to fade.

• The "Lion Ghost" is the same lion who was Kitty-cat on The Addams Family (1964). Zamba is the lion's real name. He appeared in numerous movies and TV shows.

• Shadrack the Headless Lion Tamer's Ghost was performed by Zamba's real-life trainer, Ralph Helfer.
