Released in the U.S. on a double-bill with The Horror of Party Beach(1964).
Originally called Curse of Simba, but also known as Voodoo Blood Death, the film was cut by several minutes and released as Curse of the Voodoo in the United States as a double feature with Frankenstein Meets the Space Monster.
As a follow up to Devil Doll (1964) producer Richard Gordon and director Lindsay Shonteff selected a completed screenplay by Brian Clemens originally titled The Lion Man for their star Bryant Haliday. Though set in Africa, the film was economically shot in black and white with outdoor sequences filmed in London's Regent's Park and the use of stock footage of African fauna.
The movie was originally budgeted at £35,000 and meant to be shot in four weeks, but because of poor weather ended up being completed a week over schedule and £15,000 over budget.
Final film of Valli Newby.
