The film was produced by Vogue Pictures during late March 1958 on a seven-day shooting schedule and a small budget of just $100,000. It was directed by Edward L, Cahn and produced by Robert E. Kent, with Edward Small as uncredited executive producer. Make-up effects for the Faceless Man character were done by Layne Britton, with Bryant playing Quintillus. The monster suit was designed by Charles Gemora. The film's working title was The Man Without a Face. Though uncredited, Morris Ankrum served as the film's voice over narrator. The narration is also credited to, and sounds more like, Vic Perrin to some.
