Curiosidades

The Black Castle is a 1952 American historical gothic horror film directed by Nathan H. Juran, produced by William Alland and starring Richard Greene, Boris Karloff, Stephen McNally, Rita Corday and Lon Chaney Jr.

Production

The film was scheduled to be directed by Joseph Pevney, with Nathan Juran as the art director, but Pevney became unhappy with the script. When Universal-International Pictures refused to adopt the changes that he wanted, Pevney withdrew and Juran was named director two weeks before filming commenced. The film was shot over the course of 20 days. Its sets were designed by the art directors Bernard Herzbrun and Alfred Sweeney.

Juran later said that he had been greatly helped by the cast, particularly Karloff, and Juran's assistant director William Holland. Universal was impressed with Juran's work and offered him a one-year contract as a director.
