Snoop Dogg— who’s also working with Roth onDon’t Go in That House, Bitch— is contributing music to the film, along with composerBrandon Roberts(Thanksgiving).

The prosthetic makeup effects are handled by Oscar winnerAdrien Morot(The Whale, Thanksgiving) andSteve Newburn(Frankenstein, Thanksgiving).
