What's left behind the scenes

  • This is director David F. Sandberg's debut in feature filmmaking. His identically named 2013 short film gained a wide audience and very flattering reviews online, and Sandberg decided to rework it into a full-length feature.
  • Lotta Losten, who played the main role in the original short film, also appears in "Lights Out".
  • This is Teresa Palmer's second horror film. In 2006, she starred in Takashi Shimizu's "The Grudge 2".
  • David F. Sandberg focused on traditional special effects and tried to minimize the use of computer graphics.
  • This is the second joint project between Atomic Monster and New Line Cinema. The first was John R. Leonetti's "Annabelle" (2014).
  • The mannequins in the basement were not brought in specifically for filming. They are the property of the homeowner and were already there.
  • The film's production costs were recouped on the first day of release.
  • Filming took place in the same house where "Ouija: Origin of Evil" (Stiles White, 2014) and "Ouija: The Curse of the Board" (Mike Flanagan, 2016) were filmed.
  • Writer and director David F. Sandberg utilized natural lighting whenever possible. Some scenes were shot exclusively using candlelight or fluorescent lamps.
  • At the beginning of the film, a doll's head with a wide smile is shown on a shelf in the office—a tribute to the original short film.
  • Following preview screenings, the film received positive reviews, and its release date was moved from winter to summer.
  • The basement of the house where filming took place mysteriously caught fire some time after filming had wrapped.
  • On the wall in Rebecca's room hangs a poster with the word 'Lights Out' in Swedish.
  • The decision to film a sequel was made as soon as it became known that the film had recouped its production costs during its opening weekend.
  • Lotta Losten's character is named Esther, after the Theater Esther troupe where she performed until David F. Sandberg's short film 'Lights Out' (2013) gained viral popularity online, after which she and the director were invited to Hollywood.
  • Before its theatrical release on July 21st, the film was shown in Thailand for 5 days.
  • This is Maria Bello's second horror film. The first was John Fawcett's "The Dark Side" (2005).
  • Teresa Palmer saw Diana's costume for the first time only after filming the very first episode in a completely darkened soundstage.
  • The creation of Diana's realistic costume was done by the person who, at the time, created the central character of Chris Columbus' comedy "Mrs. Doubtfire" (1993).
  • As director David F. Sandberg recounted, in the initial version of the film, Diana returns after Sophie's death and attacks Rebecca, Bret, and Martin, but this episode was later cut.
  • Lotta Losten, who played the main role in the original short film, also appears in "Lights Out".
  • This is Teresa Palmer's second horror film. She previously appeared in Takashi Shimizu's "The Grudge 2" (2006).
  • This is the second joint project between Atomic Monster and New Line Cinema. The first was John R. Leonetti's "Annabelle" (2014).
  • A poster with the word "Dismissed" in Swedish is hanging on the wall in Rebecca's room.
  • The heroine, Lotte Losten, is named Esther in honor of the Theater Esther troupe, where she performed until David F. Sandberg's short film “And the lights go out…” (2013) gained viral popularity online, after which she and the director were invited to Hollywood.
