The film used footage filmed by Andrew Marton of the 1934 International Himalayan Expedition led by Norman Dyrenforth, whose son Harold Dyrenforth played a character based on his father.p. 229 Pitts, Michael R. Columbia Pictures Horror, Science Fiction and Fantasy Films, 1928–1982 McFarland, 12 Oct. 2010 Much of the footage appeared in Marton's 1935 Swiss-German film Demon of the Himalayas with some sequences reused by Columbia in their 1937 film Lost Horizon. Actor Rex Reason made his debut in the film telling an interviewer he was chosen for his role because the film needed an actor who could physically fit the shots of the previous actor who had died.http://www.classicimages.com/people/article_9eb3fc45-2366-5f89-88b6-f53e6cd71e26.html {{Dead link|date=February 2022}} Reason's 27 minutes of footage included climbing sequences filmed in an indoor studio using white painted corn flakes as snow.Weaver, Tom Rex Reason in Double Feature Creature Attack: A Monster Merger of Two More Volumes of Classic Interviews McFarland, 19 Feb. 2003
