Trivia / The Lair of the White Worm

• Completely Different Title:
  • Brazil: The Curse of the Serpent
  • Germany: The Snake Woman's Bite
  • Japan: Ken Russell's White Snake Legend
  • Mexico: The Spell of the Serpent
  • Portugal: Garden of Evil
  • Sweden: The Legend of the White Snake
  • Taiwan: Legend of the White Snake
• Money, Dear Boy: Ken Russell's Gothic had been a surprise hit for Vestron Pictures, so the studio agreed to finance his adaptation of D.H. Lawrence's The Rainbow if he could also give them a horror film; this was the result.
• What Could Have Been:
  • Tilda Swinton was originally offered the role of Lady Sylvia but turned it down.
  • A sequel was considered but never moved past the planning stages due to disinterest from Grant and Donohoe.
