So a basic script was thrown together, dialogue was shot with Karloff and Nicholson and a few other actors. It all sat in the can for six months when Corman shot some exteriors to cover what was needed, and it was all assembled out of what was onhand. The six month wait made it the longest Corman shoot ever. Really a fun little film showing what Corman could come up with out of nothing.

Wow, see I didn't know that. I can honestly say I will watch Terror again-give it a second chance. I've only recently begun looking into everything involved with making a movie, and with what you've discribed, I think I could get alot more out of the film, thanks.
