This is the third vampire movie of director Jean Rollin.
The original French title "Le Frisson des Vampires" has been translated into many titles in English, including: The Shiver of the Vampires, Sex and Vampires, Strange Things Happen at Night, Terror of the Vampires, Thrill of the Vampire, and Vampire Thrills.
Septmonts Castle, the filming location, still stands and is open to the public.
The love scene on the graves was filmed inside the cemetery at Clichy. Jean Rollin revealed that, "They would have never allowed us to shoot such an explicit sex scene inside a cemetery, so we lied to the caretakers about what we were going to do in there. Because it was late at night, there was only one cemetery guard around, and Natalie Perrey went to him with a couple of liquor bottles and kept him 'entertained' and distracted."
