Production

The working title of the film was Bittersweet. The screenplay was based on William Dudley Pelley's magazine story, "The Pit of the Golden Dragon". Although mainly shot in the Universal studios, the climactic earthquake scenes were a mix of model work and archival film footage, mixed in with the live action. Principal photography on The Shock took place in June 1922, after Chaney finished work as Fagin on Oliver Twist (1922) in late May 1922.
