Production

On August 6, 2019, news broke that Christopher Landon would write and direct a new horror film with Jason Blum serving as a producer under his Blumhouse Productions banner. As of that moment, plot details were being kept under wraps, but the story would reportedly follow a violent creeper wreaking havoc in a small town. Production was expected to begin in October in Atlanta, Georgia, and there was some speculation it could be a reboot of Scream.[2] However, one week later, Landon debunked rumors that such remake was being developed, stating that the upcoming project was to be an original IP.[3]

On August 29, 2019, it was announced that Kathryn Newton and Vince Vaughn had joined the cast of the film, with Christopher Landon directing from a screenplay he wrote alongside Michael Kennedy.[1] In October 2019, Uriah Shelton, Alan Ruck, Katie Finneran, Celeste O'Connor and Misha Osherovich joined the cast of the film.[4][5]

Filming

Principal photography lasted for 35 days under the title Freaky Friday the 13th.[6] It began on October 21, 2019,[7] and finished on December 12, 2019.[8]
