Trivia: Set in 1925; the Phibes' tombstones say 1921, and the characters say Anton and Victoria died 4 years earlier.

In order to gain more publicity this film was advertised as Vincent Price's 100th feature film.

Dr. Phibes' first words are spoken 32 minutes into the movie.

The "Vampire Bats" were really flying foxes, very docile fruit-loving bats.

Joseph Cotten would grumble on the set that he had to remember and deliver lines, while Vincent Price's were all to be post-dubbed. Price responded, "Yes, but I still know them, Joe." In fact, Price was well-known in Hollywood for his ability to memorize all of the characters' lines in a given production, not just his own.
