Interesting facts

After Midnight is a 1989 American horror anthology film written and directed by Ken and Jim Wheat and starring Marg Helgenberger, Marc McClure, Alan Rosenberg, and Pamela Segal. Besides the three stories within the film, there is a wraparound story with a deus ex machina at the end.

Production

Ken and Jim Wheat took inspiration from the 1945 film Dead of Night and decided to make a horror anthology out of a desire to do something that was fully "theirs" as opposed to their collaborative work on films such as The Fly II and A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master.

Paul Chadwick, the production designer, is the artist and originator of the comic Concrete.
