Each sequence of The Forbidden Room is based on reviews and summaries of "lost" films, mostly from America in the early to mid-20th century. These films were destroyed intentionally or by natural degradation of the original film stock, and will likely never be seen again. Guy Maddin realized the only way he'd be able to see these lost movies was to make them himself.
This project was originally conceived to be a series of stand-alone short films. The only way Guy Maddin was able to receive enough funding was to string some of them together into a feature.
By title designer Galen Johnson's estimates he created 500 intertitles for the movie, of which 400 are seen in the finished film. He also had to essentially make them twice for the French language version of the film as well. He used Adobe After Effects as well as Photoshop and Illustrator for the custom designed typefaces.
Galen Johnson baked old LP's to create distinctive sounds for the soundtrack.
Galen Johnson used Ableton and Reason software to compose the music for the movie, while Guy Maddin used Audacity. They often traded files to "mess" with each other's tracks.

"[first lines] Marv: Hello. I'm Marv. Today, we're gonna discuss baths - more specifically, how to take one. Baths have been around for a long time. The ancient Romans built fancy ones, like Caracalla. In the Middle Ages, the were called "stews"... 'cause you had to be stewed in order to take one. They were open to both sexes. Today, the Japanese have bisexual bathing [winks] Marv: . Here in America, we didn't bathe so much until recently. The Saturday-night bath used to be a ritual. Today, it's more like every other day, or... even every day. How do I know this? Heh. People have told me, that's how!"
