Danny Torrance: You need to listen to me. The world's a hungry place. A dark place. I've only met two or three people like us. They died. When I was a kid, I bumped into these things. I don't know about magic. I, I always called it "the shining."
- Cameo: Danny Lloyd, who played the character Danny Torrance in The Shining, makes a cameo in this movie at the baseball game and is listed in the credits as "Spectator."
- The lockboxes and their hedge maze environment are entirely digital creations.
- The Newton Brothers have composed for Mike Flanagan on every one of his films since Oculus (2013).
- In the original film, Jack says he had previously been a school teacher. Danny Lloyd later became a schoolteacher himself, and Ewan McGregor's parents were both teachers as well.
- Henry Thomas watched Jack Nicholson's scenes from The Shining (1980) hundreds of times to master the body language that best embodied the character of Jack Torrance.
