Interesting facts

Howdy, Neighbor! is a 2023 American screenlife horror film directed by Allisyn Snyder. It stars Matthew Scott Montgomery, Grant Jordan, Debby Ryan, and Sterling Sulieman.

Production

Matthew Scott Montgomery and Allisyn Snyder originally met as children while working on the Disney Channel original show So Random! During their tenure, both experienced incidents of stalking, cyberstalking, and harassment. Montgomery drew heavily from these experiences when writing the screenplay for Howdy, Neighbor!, and used the screenlife format to explore the nuances and dangers of parasocial interaction.

In July 2022, Variety revealed the cast list, which was primarily composed of ex-Disney Channel child stars. Snyder later noted this was an intentional choice, as she wanted to cast people who had similar personal experiences with stalkers. Production started in late July 2022 and was filmed using the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera. The entire project was filmed in 10 days and spent over a year in post-production.
