Encuentros paranormales

The show format and lead role draw influence from real life show Buscadores de fantasmas (2008) and the series lead Zak Bagans who is known for his black muscle shirts and technique of trying to invoke ghost presence by cussing at the supposed specters and inviting attacks.

As the history of the asylum is revealed, it is stated that a former doctor performed grisly experiments on the asylum patients in the 1930s. In a flashback sequence referring to this time, a patient is shown in front of a television, watching static. However, the television was not introduced to the public until the 1939 World's Fair, and was not common in US households until the early 1950s. An asylum in the 1930s could not, and would not, have had a television.

At the end of the credits, a message reads: "No Rats Were Eaten During The Making of this Film".

Years after the film's release, the Vicious Brothers released an alternate ending scene. In the original ending, Kenny returned at 6 am and found Lance in a patient's room acting strange with the camera. Kenny calls the police to report the crew missing, and it is revealed there is now an ongoing investigation into the incident. The scene cuts to a psychiatric hospital where a neurologist explains Lance was somehow lobotomized and was now unable to care for himself. Finally, Lance is shown to be a patient with a shaven head and is unable to speak full sentences. When he's told that he's being filmed as part of the investigation, he breaks into a violent outburst saying he never wants to be on camera again.
