Interesting facts

A Ghost Waits is a 2020 American romantic comedy horror film directed by Adam Stovall and starring MacLeod Andrews and Natalie Walker. It was written by Andrews and Stovall. The film, which is in black and white, centers upon a handyman who falls in love with a ghost. It was distributed by Arrow Films.

Production

Director Adam Stovall has stated that two of the main inspirations for A Ghost Waits were the 2014 video game P.T. and a strip from the webcomic Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal. In the strip a woman says that the most American film is Ghostbusters, as "in it there's undeniable proof of an afterlife but the whole thing is about growing a small business and navigating bureaucracy", which Stovall found humorous.

A Ghost Waits was initially filmed in color per the recommendation of the unit production manager. Andrews suggested making the film black and white, a concept that Stovall had entertained early in the production process. Per Stovall, this made it easier for the footage to match up properly, as he was using material shot during different points in the production process and by two different people.
