This short movie was inspired by Columbia Pictures' "Return of the Vampire" which Glut had seen on Shock Theater in 1959.
Glut thought that "Slave of the Vampire" was one of his most 'polished' in this series of movies.
"Slave of the Vampire" proved to be the last of Glut's films based primarily on the old 'classic horrors.'
"Slave of the Vampire" was the first of Glut's movies for which he started shooting still photographs "on set."
Glut's family basement became the laboratory, which he decked out with various 'scientific' props, became the laboratory.
