    • Trivia
      In this movie, the character Stephen Terrill is depicted as an inventor. In the original book this film is based on, he was a horror actor from the silent film era, who had the ability to appear in different costumes and make-ups (similar to Lon Chaney). He later became unemployed when the sound film was invented, because it required him to speak, and he couldn't hide his lisp and squeaky voice anymore. This resulted in the audience laughing at him, which depressed Terrill so much that he resigned from acting. Subsequently, he isolated himself from the public and resided in his castle, until he reportedly took his own life. Since then, Terror Castle was reported to be haunted by Terrill's ghost.
    • Goofs
      At the beginning of the movie the Rolls Royce is seen driving on the right side of the road. At the end of the movie, as the boys return from their trip, the Rolls drives on the left side, which is wrong for California, but correct for South Africa, where the movie was filmed.
    • Quotes

      Pete Crenshaw: What is it about The Three Investigators that we're always going to places like "Terror Castle"? Why can't we ever go on "The Case of the Cozy Cottage," or "The Mystery of Grandma's Little Prairie Home"?

    the three investigators find a mystery video left by some familiar faces, which leads them investigate the mystery of terror castle
    As a child I read many of the three investigators books, being my favourite series. Discovering that a film had been made about the characters I had grown to love was wonderful, but would it live up to my expectations? Sadly, it was a little disappointing. There was good action, and Im sure children will find it entertaining, but I feel much of the treasures in the book are missing. The exciting headquarters, hidden in the midst of a junk yard, only accessible by several mysterious tunnels is reduced to a caravan out in the open. Jupiter Jones, a brilliant mind, full of sharp remarks and the lead role in the book is barely intelligent and just dull and grey. The dialogue was also put together without giving much sense of feeling. Its not a big Hollywood production, so hats of for what they achieved, and I'm glad for the chance to have watched the books come to life.
