Times thought The Terror was "spooky" with a "slow, lazy plot" and "Excellent photography and settings... it moves like a stately pavan but the authors exhibit some of that old Edgar Allan Poe touch for haunted happenings". Targets In May 1966, Corman told Karloff that he would not be getting his deferred $15,000 since the film never made $150,000. However, he said that he would pay the money if Karloff worked on a new undetermined future project for Corman. This turned out to be the Peter Bogdanovich film Targets (1968). Karloff was paid his deferred fee once he agreed to be in the movie. Bogdanovich says Corman told him he would finance a feature if Bogdanovich could use twenty minutes of new Karloff footage, twenty minutes of The Terror, and forty minutes of new material with other actors.

In this the main action of the film is presented in flashback. This was done for Corman to establish some sort of copyright in the movie. Dick Miller says the payment for these scenes was the most he had ever received from Corman. The 1990 version of the film ran 91 minutes and was released on DVD in the UK as The Haunting (copyright at the end is to Concorde and New Horizons, companies owned by Corman). It featured scenes starring Wayne Grace as the son of the Karloff character (who irrelevantly summons forth a flying ghost in a satanic ritual) and Rick Dean as his dungeon torturer. An interesting line from Dean, possibly an in-joke referring to the film’s garbled conception, comes after Miller has retold the film’s plot as a flashback. Dean replies “Your story leaves
