After working on the script for two months, Twohy revised and refined the story to make the main character the villian, but he had to compromise some of his ideas due to limitations of the budget. Twohy also used a common theme of spiritualistic pagan religions that evil spirits were said to have personal names kept from all others, for learning the true name of a spirit would allow an entity to gain control over it. Thus Twohy used this concept for the Warlock's goal to bring together all three parts of a book that will allow him to learn the "true" name of God, and undo all of Creation by speaking the name backward.
Because the film begins in the colonial United States, director Steve Miner insisted that the leads were portrayed by British actors.
They're English," he quipped. Producer Arnold Kopelson suggested Julian Sands, but it was director Miner who decided to cast Sands against type as the evil Warlock instead of goodhearted Redferne. However, when Sands received the script, he assumed it was in the mold of the then-popular slasher movies, so it sat around for a while before he got around to reading it. Once he finally decided to give it a once-over, he was captivated and quickly became excited about the film.
Grant for the part of the Warlock. In the end, Miner opted to cast each of the actors against type by reversing their roles. Lori Singer was soon added to the cast, having previously starred in the hugely popular and critically acclaimed films, Footloose and The Falcon and the Snowman.
However, Singer proved to be difficult on set during filming, especially for makeup designer Carl Fullerton. An elaborate series of makeups to progressively age Singer had been designed, tested and approved. But on the day of her transformation into a year-old, Singer refused to wear any prosthetics, forcing the makeup men to resort to stippling, shadowing and having the actress don a gray wig.
For her year-old incarnation, she agreed to wear prosthetics on her cheeks and chin but refused to let them put appliances on her nose or eyes.
The opening 17th century sequence was filmed at Plimoth Plantation in Massachusetts, with later modern day scenes filmed in the Boston area. The farmhouse with the iconic red barn is the George Washington Faulkner House, which was open to the public with an annual pumpkin patch attraction for many years.
Due to the logistics of the special effects involved, however, a graveyard was erected on a soundstage in Los Angeles for the climactic finale. The optical effects work was to have been supplied by Dreamquest Images but they were replaced by Perpetual Motion for budgetary reasons.
When the warlock gains the ability to conjure bolts of ectoplasm which he hurled at unsuspecting foes, this proved problematic and had to be toned down since it could only be achieved through animation. Unfortunately, no one from Perpetual Motion was available to supervise on the set, so the crew had to shoot background plates and plot the effects on their own and hope that the FX team had the proper materials to work with!
Due to a variety of factors, several scenes were cut, reshot or altered in post-production. One scene was of the Warlock squatting down inside a circle with a rooster tied to the center this was explained in the novelization as a compass that the Warlock uses to track down Redferne and Kassandra.
