When the guests arrive, Frederick Loren ([[Vincent Price]]) gives each guest a .45 caliber [[M1911]] pistol for protection. The gun is only ever fired once in the movie at a vase. The fact that no smoke omits from the gun means they are all props and are never technically fired. The vase was blown up via a controlled explosion. The set probably could not afford to use blanks due to the low production value budget.
