Trivia

  • The studio originally wanted to call the film “House Ghosts.” 
  • The film was the first DVD sent out by Netflix in 1998
  • Michael Keaton ad-libbed 90% of his lines.
  • All the people in the waiting room and in the office are in the same condition as when they died, and the way they died is shown clearly.
  • The idea for the movie came after Poltergeist was a hit movie, but the idea of bad ghosts was flipped. The people who moved into the house would be the awful ones.
