• The film was delivered to theaters under the code name "Sharpie 79".
• The reactions of the actors in most of the frightening scenes (such as the scene with the wardrobe and Christie, played by Sprague Grayden) were genuine. The actress was warned that the wardrobe door would open, but she did not expect all the doors to open at once, so her fright was not at all feigned.
• The film's trailer featured a lot of footage that didn't make it into the final cut. This infuriated many fans of the film, but director Tod "Kip" Williams explained this marketing move was dictated by the needs of the plot.
• Initially, Kevin Greutert was chosen as the director, but he was forced to work on the horror film "Saw 3D" (2010) at the insistence of his producers (Troy Begnaud, Peter Block, Mark Burg, Jason Constantine, Daniel J. Heffner, Gregg Hoffman, Kailey Cavana, Oren Koules, Stacey Testro, James Wan, and Leigh Whannell). The producers cited a specific clause in his contract, and Greutert had to abandon work on "Paranormal Activity 2".
• The film was delivered to cinemas under the code name "Sharpie 79".
