This movie was part of the horror cycle of the late silent era and was made around the same time as SEVEN FOOTPRINTS TO SATAN and THE HOUSE OF HORROR, all of which were produced by First National and directed by Benjamin Christensen, and all of which could be seen as similar to THE CAT AND THE CANARY - a smash hit at the time.

Chester Conklin was popular in the silent era and would appear in later recreations such as HOLLYWOOD CAVALCADE and THE PERILS OF PAULINE ( 1947 ). He worked with Thelma Todd in FASCINATING YOUTH ( 1926 ), RUBBER HEELS ( 1927 ), THE HAUNTED HOUSE ( 1928 ), and THE HOUSE OF HORROR ( 1929 ).

THE STANDARD CASTING DIRECTORY For March 1929

In the edition for March of 1929, Jean Harlow is still listed as being under contract to Hal Roach, but not Thelma Todd. That was the way it was when the year began, but things would be different before the year was out.
