A co-production between the United Kingdom and United States, The Legend of Hell House marked the first feature film venture for American producer James H. Nicholson's Academy Pictures Corporation. Principal photography took place at Wykehurst Park and Blenheim Palace in England, with interiors completed at EMI-Elstree Studios.
