Production



Fred Olen Ray says the film has its genesis with sets left over from Roger Corman's 'The Masque of the Red Death'. The sets were going to be torn down so Ray decided to use them for a film. A script was written, actors hired (including Russ Tamblyn) and Ray shot two days of a sword and sorcery film, 'Wizards of the Demon Sword'. He then planned filming the rest of the film. They only needed four days, and had five days use left of the camera equipment. Ray decided to make another movie 'Bad Girls from Mars'.

Dan Golden rewrote a script from another writer.

Reception



According to Ray, 'Demon Sword' "tanked financially" in part because the film wound up at Troma who "ripped him off".
