Facts about
When Emily, the character played by Gale Sondergaard, meets the new occupants of the house, one of the women asks her "Didn't I see you in 'Rebecca'?". Sondergaard's character is made to look like Judith Anderson's character in the Alfred Hitchcock thriller Rebecca, and Sondergaard herself bears a striking physical resemblance to Anderson.

Some of the special effects shots required the sets and props to remain intact for shooting with, and without, the actors. Reportedly on one occasion when Lou removed a prop, it required two days of re-shooting for the special effects department.
