- TriviaWhen del Toro pitched the film to Charlie Hunnam he told the actor "that he'd be playing the damsel in distress", and Hunnam was immediately sold on the movie.
- GoofsDr. Alan claims that it would be impossible to fake a ghost photograph with glass plates. In fact at the time a lot of 'ghost photos' were made with glass plates, because the expensive plates were re-used, and if not cleaned properly, a 'ghost' image would remain.
- Quotes
Lucille Sharpe: But the horror... The horror was for love. The things we do for love like this are ugly, mad, full of sweat and regret. This love burns you and maims you and twists you inside out. It is a monstrous love and it makes monsters of us all.
- Crazy creditsThe first half of the end credits reveals that Edith adapted her experience in the film into a book titled "Crimson Peak".

Written by Guillermo del Toro and Fernando Velázquez (as Fernando Velásquez)
This is a beautiful Gothic horror from Guillermo del Toro. It is simply gorgeous. On the other hand, the story lacks thrills or scares. There is no real mystery since the Sharpe siblings lay out their cards early on. It's also unlikely that Carter wouldn't reveal the secret to his daughter. All of it takes away the tension. The Sharpe mansion looks beautiful in a haunted manner. The story needs some reworking to inject more thrilling tension.
