Development
Between 1971 and 1975, Paris became director Jesús Franco's main source of financing his films. This was due to laws governing sexual content becoming more liberal in France which led him to work in the country during this period.[5] During this period his shooting schedule for films became greatly accelerated, with the director being able to complete six films in 1971, eight in 1972, and eleven in 1973.[6]
Among the cast was Pamela Stanford who entered the film industry in 1970. She appeared in a string of both pornographic and semi-pornographic films, including eight films for Franco.[7]
While exact shooting dates of Lorna the Exorcist are unknown. Franco biographer Stephen Thrower said that from details seen in the film magazine short story titles and newspaper headlines, the film was likely shot in April 1974.[2] The film was shot in the Languedoc-region of Southern France, including footage shot at La Grande-Motte tourist resort.[3] Parts of Franco's film Countess Pervèrse (1974) were shot during the production of Lorna the Exorcist, specifically all the scenes featuring Caroline Riviére} and Lina Romay at La Grande-Motte.[8]
