While filming his tribute to Hollywood musical films (Vampiresas 1930), director Jesús Franco convinced his producers to watch the British film The Brides of Dracula (1960). After the screening, Franco proposed that he could make similar films "in the same vein, but with a different style". Franco eventually convinced the same French co-producer, the Paris-based company Eurociné, who produced Vampiresas 1930. Shooting took place on-location in Madrid and at Estudios Ballesteros. The cast was predominantly Spanish, though the leading role was played by the France-based Swiss actor Howard Vernon.
