J. Carrol Naish was very frail at the time this film was made and, as a result, he could no longer remember dialogue, so he read his lines in it off of cue cards. However, he had only one working eye; the other one had been replaced with a glass eye long ago. In Naish's close-ups in the film with dialogue, one eye can be seen moving back and forth when he is reading his lines, while the other eye does not move at all.
Much of the electrical laboratory equipment in Dr. Durea's (J. Carrol Naish) laboratory behind the Creature Emporium boardwalk attraction are props that were originally used in the film Frankenstein (1931). Ken Strickfaden, who had designed all the aforementioned equipment used in that film, supplied it for this film.
When Dr. Durea (J. Carrol Naish) confronts Dracula (Zandor Vorkov) in the Creature Emporium boardwalk attraction after it is closed for the night, Naish looks older than he does elsewhere in the film. Over one year had elapsed between the filming of most of Naish's scenes (when it was intended to be a different film altogether) and the Dracula/Frankenstein Monster scenes that were grafted into the film.
J. Carrol Naish and Lon Chaney Jr. completed their original scenes for the film between March and April of 1969, and the Dracula/Frankenstein Monster scenes for it were then completed over one year later.
The final film of both J. Carrol Naish and Lon Chaney Jr.
"Dracula: [to the Frankenstein Monster, who is attacking Dracula after a lit car flare has been shoved into his face by Mike Howard, temporarily blinding him] No, him! Him! Him! No! Him! Him!"
