Trivia
The only double the producers could find for Christopher Lee was the circus' real lion tamer, who Lee described as being "half my height". In order to make the situation credible, 6'4" Lee was shot in close-up, so the height differential would not be too obvious to the audience. According to Lee, he wore a black mask through 90% of the movie anyway.

Goofs
About five minutes into the movie, when the police are chasing the van, the shadow of the camera is visible on the front of the van.

Quotes
Barberini: Two years ago he was involved in a serious accident and very badly scarred. He carries on the act in the family tradition but never without the mask.

Alternate versions
Video version entitled Circus of Fear includes new footage and introduction with John Carradine.

Connections
Edited from Circus of Horrors (1960)

This movie has more title changes than evilskip's shorts. Psycho Circus, Circus Of Fear etc.It isn't a horror movie but it is a crime movie and I might add it is a crime what has been done to this movie.It may or not be based somewhat loosely on an Edgar Wallace thriller.

A robbery goes awry leading to murder,double crossings, mistaken identities, blackmail and revenge.You've got a great cast, an involving plot and...video distributors that butchered the film.There is at least one reel missing from this print that has some important exposition.Not to mention 15 minutes as well.This print only runs 74 minutes.

I would love to see the complete film.In the meantime this one will have to do.
