The music of the film was composed by Hoyt Curtin. It makes use of a flamenco guitar and a piano, with their sounds combined in what seems to be a free jazz composition. It was later reused in the film "Jail Bait" (1954). The narrator Lyle Talbot also appeared in various films by Ed Wood, such as "Plan 9 from Outer Space" (1959). One of the various spider-women of Aranya is played by Dolores Fuller, who also appeared in Wood's films. The film also features the film debut of Katherine Victor as the spider-woman who first drove Masterson to the desert. She later became better known as a regular in Jerry Warren films.
