The film is inspired by books written by Dennis Wheatley, (8 January 1897 - 10 November 1977) - an English writer whose prolific output of thrillers and occult novels made him one of the world's best-selling authors from the 1930s through the 1960s. Of note and also made into a film is 'The Devil Rides Out'. His books have recently been republished by his son.
The scenes in the Caravan were very long sessions often in the pouring rain. A temporary shelter was constructed next to the caravan for actors already made up to shelter under until they appeared on set (in the caravan). Within a few hours, the shelter started leaking as the rain was torrential. The director (also first shooter) often sat for many hours without moving in a very cramped space to film scenes inside the caravan.
