Voice recording started in North Hollywood on May 23, 2015.
The script was written in 2014, voice recording started in 2015 and shooting started in 2016. Post-production ended in 2022. The time from writing to completion was therefore 8 years.
This movie features James Marsters (Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1997)), Chris McDonald (Happy Gilmore (1996)), and Sid Haig (The Devil's Rejects (2005)). The entire movie will be performed by lifelike puppets, and produced as a surrealistic thriller/horror. It is a first of its kind production.
The movie poster, created by Elizabeth Schuch, was designed to reflect the films of the 1970s, in particular The Poseidon Adventure. Rather than show the faces of the actors, their characters were illustrated.
The protagonist, Les, is a fan of sci fi and horror films of the 1970s and early 80s. Easter eggs to this era were sprinkled throughout the film, including Carrie, The Wicker Man, Close Encounters, Phantasm, A Clockwork Orange and The Thing.
