• The first draft of the screenplay was co-written with Matthew Robinson. However, the script was later rewritten. Guillermo del Toro continued working on it with Lucinda Coxon.
• The house where the events of the film take place, along with all the items inside, was built from scratch on the set.
• Benedict Cumberbatch and Emma Stone were originally intended to be the main duo in the film, but ultimately Tom Hiddleston and Mia Wasikowska received the respective roles.
• The film was shot in 68 days.
• Guillermo del Toro wrote approximately 12 versions of the film's script before settling on the final one. He even came up with new scenes during production.
• The film's trailer features the song "Red Right Hand" by PJ Harvey (a cover of Nick Cave's song). The original song was used in "Hellboy" (2004), which was also directed by Guillermo del Toro.
• Filming took place in Kingston (Ontario, Canada).
• When Edith coughs up blood at night, drops fall onto the pillow. However, when she gets up to investigate the source of the sounds, there is no trace of blood left.
• Dr. Alan claims it is impossible to fake a ghost photograph on a glass plate. In fact, at the time, many 'ghost photos' were taken on glass plates because the expensive plates were reused, and if not cleaned properly, a 'ghostly' image would remain.
