The movie was directed by Roger Corman and written by Charles Beaumont and R. Wright Campbell. It was released on June 24, 1964 by Alta Vista Productions and runs for 89 minutes. Vincent Price is the Prince Prospero, Hazel Court is Juliana, and Jane Asher is Francesca. Roger Corman shot this film in England to take advantage of British tax laws. By making this a British production with a British crew, the production got a government subsidy. Jane Asher asked Roger Corman if a friend could visit the set and join them for lunch. She explained that her friend was a musician who was about to about to do his first gig in London that night. At the end of lunch, Corman wished him good luck with his concert. Roger Corman had never heard of Paul McCartney until he read of the concert's success in the next day's newspapers. The last words spoken in this film (by the Red Death character) are "sic transit gloria mundi" which translates into English as "thus goes the glory of the world".
