Interesting facts

Dead Night is a 2017 horror film directed by Bradford Baruh, in his directorial debut, working from a screenplay written by Irving Walker, based on a story by Walker and Baruh. It stars Brea Grant, A.J. Bowen and Barbara Crampton. The film premiered at Fantastic Fest on September 22, 2017 before receiving a release date of July 27, 2018 in the United States from Dark Sky Films.

Production

In the original iteration of the script by Irving Walker and Bradford Baruh, the film was broken in two parts; one half was a "true crime" television show, depicting the events of the family's murder, and then the "*real* events". Baruh claimed this approached worked great on the page, but would not translate well on the screen. In April 2016, the film was announced under the title Applecart.

Production began on location in Lake Tahoe and Los Angeles, California by April 2016, as well as in Baruh's childhood home in Hillsborough, California.

Following criticisms at its debut at Fantastic Fest in September 2017, the filmmakers re-edited the film and retitled the film to Dead Night by February 2018.
