Schreck was married to actress Fanny Normann, who appeared in a few films, often credited as Fanny Schreck.

One of Schreck's contemporaries recalled that he was a loner with an unusual sense of humor and skill in playing grotesque characters. He also reported that he lived in "a remote and incorporeal world" and that he often spent time walking through forests.

La principale séquence du film montre un vampire attaquant un cobaye. On voit la chauve-souris s'approcher lentement, en marchant, du cobaye qui ne semble pas être effrayé. Le vampire lui lèche alors le nez, acte que le cobaye prend comme un geste amical et ne bouge donc pas, mais sa salive contient un puissant anesthésiant lui permettant d'endormir localement le cobaye, il peut alors le mordre à la joue, puis laper le sang coulant de la plaie ouverte.
