One of the elements of the film is based off the book "Haunted Flint." The character named James in the film is played by Joe Schipani who co-wrote the book as well.
Many cast and crew members thought the original hero car that was bought for this production was haunted. The car broke down several times and turned back on with out the key in the ignition. After thee first day of drone shots in downtown Flint the car had electrical failure and shut off while actor Jordan C. Michael was driving it.
The actor Joe Schipani wrote a book called Haunted Flint. The character "James" played by Joe Schipani also wrote the same titled book in the story. Freddie Nash the medium detective played by Corin Nemec is also an author in the film. This is a tribute to Stephen King and all the stories he has based on writers.
