Fabian had signed a seven-picture contract with AIP and this was his sixth film for the studio.

During production, the film was titled Inferno Road. Filming began on October 15, 1968, and occurred primarily at Pinecrest Camp in the San Bernardino Mountains outside Los Angeles. Mike Curb was credited as the film's musical director and wrote the title song with Guy Hemric.
