Only 3 rooms had additions outside of the natural setting for atmosphere, the kitchen had meat hooks hung, the tunnel had plastic surgical gloves hung up, and the hydrotherapy room had a metal tub added. Almost everything else related to the asylum setting was found on site as the crew scoured the building for set dressing to keep things authentic. The filmmakers even reported finding old patient tissue and blood samples on the premises, which they did not film out of fear.
Actor David Caruso reports in the official Production Notes that he saw "something pass my window" when shooting inside the Bonner Medical Building of Danvers State Hospital. "I didn't want to tell anybody, because people would start looking at me strangely..." Actor Peter Mullan also reports strange happenings on the set. He claims that while filming on the roof, a voice in his head told him to jump off to see what would happen. Mullan said the building brought out a morbid kind of "overactive curiosity."
Behind the tunnel with the rubber gloves, the cast and crew signed the wall. Brad Anderson wrote: "We did ASBESTOS we could!"
During the scene shot outside Danvers when Bill (Paul Guilfoyle) and Gordon (Peter Mullan) are discussing the bid for the asbestos abatement job, a student pilot was flying circles overhead for about 3 hours. This forced the talent and crew to film the sequence in spurts starting when the plane was furthest away and stopping as it grew nearer.
The fictional "Patricia Willard scandal" at Danvers State Hospital, cited by Mike at the film's beginning, strongly appears to have been inspired by a real-life wave of problematic "Satanism and sex-abuse" allegations that swept the United States circa the 1980s, including (among others) one involving the Amirault family in nearby Malden, Massachusetts. Reporter Dorothy Rabinowitz won a Pulitzer Prize for her book chronicling that bizarre case, "No Crueler Tyrannies: Accusation, False Witness, and Other Terrors of Our Times," in 2001.
"Gordon: You! [points at Phil] Gordon: You come with *me.* Phil: Hey! [points back at Gordon] Phil: Fuck *youuuu.*"
"[last lines] Doctor: And where do you live, Simon? Mary Hobbes: I live in the weak and the wounded... Doc."
