The Demons was a Spanish, French and Portuguese co-production. It was created by the Madrid-based companies Fénix Films and Marte Films, the Parisian Comptoir Frangais du Film Production and the Lisbon-based Interfilme Producgées Cinematograficas.

Thrower said the film was likely shot in early May 1972, following the completion of Franco's The Erotic Rites of Frankenstein as both films share numerous shooting locations. The film was shot in Santa Bàrbara Castle in Alicante and the Castle of Guimarães in Cascais, and in Sintra, Portugal.

Director Jesús Franco did not have a hand in choosing the music for The Demons, with the selections being made by sound editor and future director of French erotic films Gérard Kikoïne.
