Filming

The film was visualized by Pickyman. The concept was there to be a monster that can use the closets as portals and as a way to torment its prey. The beginning of the film was what Pickyman basically visualized, but as the film goes on, like other films by Pickyman Studios in the early days, was thought up as it went. The idea wasn't supposed to be complicated or a lengthy story. So filming only took one night. Pickyman wanted to do a sequel so the film ended with Noah needing to go to the hospital.

Post-production

During this era of Pickyman Studios, there wasn't much editing other than trimming and slipping. The thumbnail design was supposed to be like red stretches in a closet door but instead did a black screen with red text.
