In an interview with Frank J. Dello Stritto, screenwriter John Chartres Mather claimed that "Devil Girl from Mars" came about while he was working with The Danzigers, who were producing "Calling Scotland Yard" that appeared as both an American television series and as cinema featurettes in Great Britain and the British Commonwealth. When production finished ahead of schedule, Mather says he was ordered to use up the remaining film studio time already booked and paid for by working on a feature film for the Danzigers. The interview also claims Patricia Laffan's devil girl costume was economically made by designer John Sutcliffe.
