- The Youtube video on how to contact the dead that Sadie watches references Rob Savage's previous film, Host (2020), with the same location and actress (Seylan Baxter) from that film.
- The scene where Sawyer (Vivien Lyra Blair) wets her pants in fear, after the light-show therapy in Dr. Wallace's office, is a direct nod to the Stephen King short story, when Lester Billings wets himself after seeing The Boogeyman right at the end of the tale.
- Boogeyman is the film adaptation of a short story, written by Stephen King, that was originally featured in a March 1973 issue of Cavalier magazine & later in Night Shift, a collection of short stories all written by King.
- Was originally meant to be released straight-to-streaming on Hulu, but the strong reception from test screenings prompted 20th Century Studios to instead give it a wide theatrical release.
- In January of 2022, it was announced that Sophie Thatcher & Chris Mussina have signed on to star
