• Stephen King named "Let Me In" the best film of 2010.
• The word "vampire" is spoken only once in the film.
• A scene in which Abby is raped and turned into a vampire was cut from the film. According to Matt Reeves, this episode did not fit the overall narrative.
• In scenes where Abby walks barefoot, Chloë Grace Moretz was genuinely barefoot. Between takes, crew members warmed her feet.
• The remake rights were acquired in 2008 at the Tribeca Film Festival. Tomas Alfredson, the director of the original film, was offered to direct the American version, but he declined.
• Filming took place from November 2009 to January 2010.
• Despite Owen asking Abby twice how old she is, she never reveals her true age, saying she is 'about 12 years old'.
