Production

Director Cheng Wei-hao had won a Golden Harvest Award and a Golden Horse Award for Best Live Action Short Film for the short film The Death of a Security Guard (2014), and he collaborated with producer Veronica Jin on The Soul (2021), which was nominated a Golden Horse Award for Best Adapted Screenplay. In the same year, the two co-produced the film, Man in Love (2021).

For Marry My Dead Body, Cheng used the same filming team as Man in Love. Cheng also cooperated with Sharon Wu, who wrote the television series In a Good Way (2013), to develop the initial script of Marry My Dead Body. In November 2021, Cheng attended the Golden Horse Awards Nominee Party for The Soul, and revealed that he had started to prepare to shoot his next film.

Producers Veronica Jin and Dennis Wu served as judges of the 1st Let's Be Wild contest. In 2018, Lai Chih-liang won the First Prize for Best Creative Story in the contest for the original story of the film, and Lai also won the Bucheon First Prize at the Bucheon International Fantastic Film Festival in 2020 for the same story.

The film crew began to plan the film after the 2018 Let's Be Wild contest, and carried out a long process of script adaptation. The director and the leading actors mentioned that due to the use of many special effects in the film, the shooting and post-production were complicated. For several shots, the actors had to perform solo to a green screen, the air, or the camera.
