This was the first in a cycle of four films Karloff made in a package deal with Mexican producer Luis Enrique Vergara.^[3] The others are Isle of the Snake People, The Incredible Invasion, and Fear Chamber. Karloff's scenes for all four films were directed by Hill in Los Angeles in the spring of 1968, while the rest of the films were completed in Mexico without either's involvement.^[3]

House of Evil was released theatrically in 1972, three years after Karloff's death.^[4][5]
