The painting of "The Door in the Floor" was actually painted by Jeff Bridges.

The deceased Cole boys, Thomas and Timothy, were played by director/screenwriter Tod Williams's cousins Tod Harrison Williams and Carter Williams, and the photographs featured in the film are their actual childhood photos.

Before Elle Fanning was cast as Ruth Cole, identical twins were initially in mind to be because the director feared that the filming hours would be exhausting for a single four-year-old child, in the end Elle Fanning was cast in the role.

Popular Dialogues

"Ted Cole: Everything in fiction is a tool: pain, betrayal, even death. These are, you know, these are like, uh, different colors on a painter's palette. You need to use them."

"Ted Cole: And so the little boy was born, and he was happy. And his mommy was happy, too. Although she told the boy, at least once every day, "Don't ever, not ever, never, never, never, open the door in the floor." But of course, he was only a little boy. If you were that little boy, wouldn't you want to open that door in the floor?"
