Trivia
Ivor Novello reprised his role in the 1932 sound remake of The Phantom Fiend, directed by Maurice Elvey. Hitchcock was asked to serve as director for the remake, but declined. The 1932 film was released in the United States as "The Phantom Fiend." See more »Goofs
Continuity: In one of the heralded shots of the film, Daisy, her mother, and Joe look at the ceiling to see the chandelier shaking. We then see "through" the ceiling to a shot of the lodger's feet pacing back and forth. This was a unique way to imply the sound of footsteps in a silent film. However, it's clear from the layout of the house that the room the family is in is *not* beneath the room in which the lodger is pacing. See more »
