Production notes
Nights of Horror was filmed in the second half of 1916, censored in December 1916 and, depending on the source, was premiered on February 7th or 9th, 1917 in the Motivhaus. The four-act film was 1120 meters long. A youth ban has been issued.
Nights of horror is often declared the “first vampire film”, especially in English-language sources. However, judging from the minimal synopsis in The Early German Cinema Database, this does not seem to be the case.
Nights of Horror was not Robison's directorial debut, as is often read, but his second film direction. He also made his debut in 1916 with another Lu Synd film, The Next Wife .
