The Collinwood scenes were filmed at the Lyndhurst Estate in Tarrytown, New York. The Lyndhurst Estate also housed Spratt Mansion, which had been used as the exterior of the "Old House" on the series, but was destroyed by a fire the year before "House of Dark Shadows" was shot.
This film was shot concurrently with the original Dark Shadows (1966) series. During the time of filming, the television program was in the middle of its 1970 parallel time story-arc. Major characters appearing in the film were temporarily written out of the TV series so that they would be available to shoot the movie.
Professor T.E. (Theodore Eliot) Stokes is named after two famous writers: T.S. Eliot and vampire novelist Bram Stoker.
Scenes that were scripted but never filmed involved a Collinsport resident named Nancy Hodiak meeting Jeff and Maggie at Jeff's cottage to pick up a painting that Jeff had painted of her. As Nancy leaves the house, she is stalked and killed by Barnabas. Many elements of Nancy's attack scene were used in the final cut in the scene of Barnabas attacking Daphne. Had these scenes been included in the film, Marie Wallace would have played Nancy.
For the old age make-up for Barnabas Collins, special make up artist Dick Smith used the bald head appliance that he had created for Dustin Hoffman in Little Big Man (1970) to save time and money.
"Carolyn Stoddard: I'm beginning to wonder, cousin Barnabas, if I shall ever know you at all. There's so much about you... that I'm dying to know."
"Professor T. Eliot Stokes: Julia! You're in love with him! Well, I pity you."
