Menzies -- an Oscar winning Art Director -- managed to squeeze the nost out the the film's thrifty budget, creating a nightmarish, claustrophobic feel by shooting almost the entire film on interior sets, substituting light, shadow and color for space and realism adding to the otherworldly, dream-like qualities of the film.
