Graveyard Disturbance was originally developed under the title Dentro il cimitero (transl. Inside the Cemetery).[3] Bava described the film as being not as heavy as his Demons films and would have more "relaxed" and "tongue-in-cheek" approach.[3] The film is set in the countryside around Bolsena.[4][page needed]
