Features the same monster from The She-Creature (1956), but this time wearing different face and a blonde wig.
Tom Conway was only cast as Dr. Gerard after a number of performers shunned the offer to star in the film.
Producer Alex Gordon attended the Burbank, California premiere with Ruth Gordon, his fiancée at the time. Ruth responded to VOODOO WOMAN by returning her engagement ring to Alex, and dismissed the film as "trash". The two quickly reconciled, however, and would later go on to collaborate on similar low-budget film projects as husband and wife, with Ruth as scriptwriter.
George Zucco was offered the role of the mad doctor, but declined. Coincidentally, had he accepted, he would have played major roles in both Voodoo Man and Voodoo Woman(the films are unrelated, but this surely would have confused Zucco fans)
The original make-up design for the Voodoo Woman was deemed unsuitable at the last minute and the title monster is actually the She Creature costume hurriedly stripped of its tail, fins and pincer-like claws. What remained was the bulky Thing-style body, which was wrapped in a burlap sarong and topped with a modified skull mask and big blond wig. Cahn worked actively to conceal this fact, using quick cuts and keeping her mostly in shadows or behind foliage. The rumbling growl of a lion was also dubbed for added effect.
