This is part three of the Nowhere Johnny (2012) indirect trilogy. Part 2 being City of Anti-Heroes (2015).
The film was originally shot in colour but later decided as a black and white film for a more noir aesthetic.
Director Vijet David Teng inspirations for this included The Shining, Heat, John Wick, Inception, and Insidious as he wanted to make a hybrid noir horror science fiction.
Ghost of the Night is set mainly in Oakland, CA.
