Producer Paul Malvern stated later that Kenton and him "got along beautifully" and that "He was one director who thought everything out and made sure that he came in on budget and on time.

Kenton spoke about directing horror films in a 1944 interview, stating "They give us a chance to let our imagination run wild. The art department can go to town on creep sets.

We have more fun making a horror picture than a comedy."Script error: No such module "Footnotes".Script error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters".
