Facts about The Ghoul

In The Old Dark House, Boris Karloff had played Ernest Thesiger's butler. In "The Ghoul" Thesiger plays Karloff's butler.
When Boris Karloff traveled to England to shoot The Ghoul, it was the first time in nearly 25 years that he returned to his home country and reunited with the surviving members of his family. Filmed March 13-late April 1933, it was Karloff's first British feature (his last would be "Curse of the Crimson Altar" in 1968).
This was the first British film to be labeled "horrific".
