''Toby Dammit'' was something of a comeback attempt for Fellini, whose stab at a science fiction film, ''[[The Voyage of G. Mastorna]]'', had collapsed in preproduction in 1966 owing to combined creative and health crises, leaving the director deeply in debt to producer [[Dino De Laurentiis]]. With Fellini's consent, De Laurentiis sold the note to producer [[Alberto Grimaldi]], Fellini's collaborator here. ''Toby Dammit'' is also notable as Fellini's first collaboration with the cinematographer [[Giuseppe Rotunno]], who would photograph seven of the eleven remaining feature films in the Fellini oeuvre.
 
In June 1967, the press announced that [[Orson Welles]] would direct one segment based on both "[[Masque of the Red Death]]" and "[[The Cask of Amontillado]]". Welles withdrew in September 1967 and was replaced by Fellini.<ref>[http://cinefantastiqueonline.com/2009/08/30/supernal-dreams-orson-welless-unfilmed-edgar-allan-poe-script-for-spirits-of-the-dead/ ''Cinemafantastique'' (August 30, 2009)]</ref>
