- For the old age make-up for Barnabas Collins, special make up artist Dick Smith used the bald head appliance that he had created for Dustin Hoffman in Little Big Man to save time and money.
- During the costume party, the Quentin Collins musical theme from Dark Shadows can be heard.
- The Collinwood scenes were filmed at the Lyndhurst Estate in Tarrytown, New York.
- This film was shot concurrently with the original Dark Shadows series. During the time of filming, the television program was in the middle of its 1970 parallel time story-arc. Major characters appearing in the film were written out of the TV series so that they would be available to shoot the movie.
- "Dark Shadows" producer Dan Curtis originally intended to edit together footage from the original TV series into a feature-length film, but this concept was quickly abandoned in favor of a new story.
