Director Herbert J. Leder purposely wanted the film to have the style of the Hammer horror films that were popular during the 1960s. He directed the camera work and audio effects to deliberately have the characteristics of a Hammer horror film.
Jill Haworth detested this film and only made it for the money, but she enjoyed working with Roddy McDowall. Years later, when she was visited by McDowall, he brought her a poster for this film, took out a pen and wrote "SH" before the title.
Although the film was both shot and released in UK theaters and on U.S. TV in color, the U.S. theatrical release prints of it were released in black-and-white in order to save the distributor money on duplicating prints.
The film debut of actor Ian McCulloch.
Released to many theaters in the U.S. as part of a double feature with another film that was also produced, directed and written by Herbert J. Leder, The Frozen Dead (1966).
"The Old Rabbi: This is a most rare thing. I don't believe that you got it off some stone as you said. If I translate it for you, will you agree to tell me the truth? Arthur Pimm: Yes. The Old Rabbi: He who will find the secret of my life at his feet, him will I serve until beyond time. He who shall evoke me in the 17th century, beware! For I cannot by fire be destroyed. He who shall evoke me in the 18th century, beware! For I cannot by fire or by water be destroyed. He who evokes me in the 19th century, beware! For I cannot by fire or by water or by force be destroyed. He who in the 20th century shall dare evoke me, beware! For neither by fire nor water, nor force, nor anything by man created, can I be destroyed. He who in the 21st century evokes me, must be of God's hand himself, because on this Earth, the person of man existeth no more. The Old Rabbi: Now, tell me, where did you get this? Arthur Pimm: I traced if off an old statue that came from Czechoslovakia. Does it have any significance? The Old Rabbi: Significance? That statue is the Great Golem, believed to have been destroyed centuries ago. If it is still in existence, if, I say, it is probably the most powerful force on Earth today. Arthur Pimm: More powerful than the H-bomb? The Old Rabbi: [scoffs] A bomb is finished when it has exploded. But the Golem will go on and on forever, serving or destroying. Arthur Pimm: What do you mean "serving"? The Old Rabbi: It will obey whoever places a magic scroll beneath its tongue. Arthur Pimm: Where does one get this magic scroll? The Old Rabbi: If I knew that, I would not reveal it to you. Power destroys."
