Production

The project was originally known as Beyond Terror. Sir Lancelot signed to appear in the film to take advantage of the calypso craze.

It was the first of an eight-picture deal between Charles Marquiss Warren's Emirau Productions and 20th Century Fox.

The Unknown Terror was filmed during late March and early April 1957 at what Powers called "the old Producers Studio" in Hollywood. The film's working title was Beyond Terror, of which Powers said, "I think that might have been a better title." According to the American Film Institute (AFI), the name and composer of the song performed by Sir Lancelot during the movie is unknown.
