• Body Count: 6 (2 off-screen)
• Several scenes in the first cut of the film were shot in Beatrice, but those scenes were dropped when Blumhouse Productions picked up the movie. Those scenes will be featured in the DVD and Blu-ray releases of The Gallows (2015).
• The actors performed their own stunts, and no major CGI was used in the film.
• Certain exteriors were accomplished in Lofing's hometown of Beatrice, Nebraska, the setting for the film. However, "The Gallows" was shot primarily in and around Fresno, California. Utilizing Veteran's Memorial Auditorium as the main setting for the story, the filmmakers shot night-for-night, adding to the realism for both the cast and, ultimately, moviegoers. "Night-for-night interiors are rare," Blum observes, "but it was done to give the actors the true feeling of, well, being out in the middle of the night, just like their characters."
• One of Cluff's favorite scenes-coincidentally shot on a Friday the 13th, on the thirteenth day of principal photography-also maintained an air of realism for most of those involved. "No kidding, it was the thirteenth day, on a Friday the 13th, and we were hanging someone." That scene, which actually opens the film, has the look of having been shot on a home video camera. The bulk of the movie, however, takes place 20 years later and is meant to be seen mainly through the lens of today's ever-present video camera: the cell phone.
