The Catacombs The Production Guide
Script To Screen: The Seance Spectre
by Martin Willey

Script To Screen

The Seance Spectre began filming on Monday 18th October 1976, and finished with a rare Saturday filming day, 30th October 1976, one day over schedule. The scenes included Sanderson's invasion of Command Center, and Koenig and the guards retaking it; stunt arranger Paul Weston and stunt man Terry Walsh played security guards while make-up added bruises to them.

During the day, Dave Lane filmed some insert shots, including close-ups of Maya transformations, for the previous episode, The Lambda Factor.
