What's left behind the scenes
- The original title of the film can be translated as "Ghosts".
- The interior sets for the 'Fear Room' attraction were constructed inside a dairy plant building.
- Justin Marksen, who played the Clown, is friends with the film's directors, Scott Beck and Bryan Woods. He had to audition several times, but he eventually got the role. While developing the character, Marksen sought to emulate Javier Bardem's portrayal of Anton in the Coen brothers' thriller 'No Country for Old Men' (2007) and Philip Seymour Hoffman's portrayal of Owen in J.J. Abrams' action film 'Mission: Impossible III' (2006).
- The screenplay writers and directors Scott Beck and Brian Woods wrote the screenplay for this film, and simultaneously – for "A Quiet Place", not expecting that either film would ever be made.
