The story Orlock tells of the servant fleeing death is W. Somerset Maugham's short story "The Appointment in Samarra."
Peter Bogdanovich planned to have Boris Karloff actually appear in the film for about 20 minutes, and have the stock footage from The Terror add another 20 minutes of screen time for Karloff. In the final movie, Karloff is actually on screen (not counting the scenes from "The Terror") for about 30 minutes.
