Trivia from The Terror (1963)
1
"I had the weekend off before the last week of shooting THE RAVEN. I was going to play tennis and it rained."--Corman's explanation for filming THE TERROR
2
After completing principal indoor photography in two days, Corman sent some of his protégés out to Big Sur, California, to film the outdoor scenes. These directors included screenwriter Jack Hill (who would later go on to make FOXY BROWN and COFFY with Pam Grier) and Hill's UCLA classmate Francis Coppola (who would later make THE GODFATHER with Marlon Brando). Monte Hellman and Jack Nicholson also had a crack at it. Each director added his own ideas about the story, which accounts for the confusion. Feeling the footage still a little dull, Corman shot a few extra scenes at the conclusion, adding a twist ending to the story.

Costar Sandra Knight was married to Nicholson at the time of filming and was pregnant with their daughter, Jennifer.
