Production [edit]
Pre-product [edit]
The film, originally entitled Half to Death, was first announced in June 2007, to be produced by Michael Bay and Rogue Pictures, and directed by Antti Jokinen.[5] Christopher Landon was hired to rewrite the Scott Lobdell screenplay. Landon said, "The movie was in pre-production or soft production at the time, and I came on and I loved the concept of the picture. I loved the idea of a girl, trapped in a time loop who has to solve her own murder."[vi] The projection was simply revived years later, as original producer Angela Mancuso had dejeuner with Landon and remembered One-half to Death. Landon decided to send the script to Jason Blum of Blumhouse Productions, with whom he had worked in the Paranormal Activity sequels, and he approved it, leading to a green-light past Universal Pictures.[6] Blumhouse announced the projection on October 11, 2016, with Landon directing and Jessica Rothe cast in the pb role of the film.[7] On November viii, 2016, it was announced that Ruddy Modine, Charles Aitken and Rachel Matthews had joined the cast, alongside Rothe and State of israel Broussard.[eight] The film got eventually retitled Happy Decease Day in June 2017.[nine]
The mask was constructed by Tony Gardner, the same human who built the "Ghostface" mask from every Scream film, and its design was personal. Landon explains, "During preproduction ... I was expecting my first son. I don't know if I simply had babies on the brain, or if I was subconsciously scared to become a male parent, but that baby paradigm was floating effectually in my caput. Tony made us a pig mask, besides, merely when I wore the baby mask in the office, I scared a co-worker, and we thought ... yeah, this is it. This is the one."[10] Scream itself was listed among the influences Christopher Landon took for the film, along with Halloween (1978), Groundhog Day and comedies of the 1980s such every bit Sixteen Candles and Back to the Futurity,[11] given he aimed to make a "fun, silly horror movie". He also aimed to emulate the protagonist's personal growth in Groundhog Day to comment on "this age of social media and all the crappy things that kids do to each other".[12]
Writing [edit]
Comic book author Scott Lobdell said he wanted to play with the tropes of the slasher genre, as according to him "every slasher picture opens upward with the mean girl getting killed and the good daughter living till the terminate. And I thought, 'How can I make the mean girl and the good daughter the same person?'"[12] In the original typhoon, Lori and Dr. Butler were the killers together. Landon says, "They were a psycho couple murdering Tree together. That ultimately didn't piece of work for me. I thought Gregory was a dandy opportunity to be a suspect. To make him a killer, it didn't assist me. That was a modify I really wanted to make."[13] Likewise, in the original draft there was no birthday,[13] and no romance, which Landon added to humanize Tree.[6] Landon decided to shorten the protagonist's proper noun Teresa into Tree, which also conveyed her character arc, as "trees need to abound and you see this character go from one person to some other".[14]
Filming [edit]
Filming took place at and effectually Loyola University in New Orleans, Louisiana,[fifteen] and information technology lasted v weeks.[16] The scenes where Tree awakens in Carter'due south bed after her death were filmed back to back in a span of 2 days.[17] The scene later Tree pushes Lori out the window was supposed to be at the sorority house, merely the filming permit was over before production was able to shoot at that place, forcing the location to be changed into a Los Angeles diner also featured in another Blumhouse production, Separate.[14]
Original ending [edit]
In the film's original ending, Tree is taken to the hospital after her meet with Lori. The doctor instructs Tree to stay away from hurting medication for at least a day due to the extent of her injuries. After he leaves, a nurse comes in and says she is giving Tree something for the pain. Tree informs the nurse of the dr.'s orders. The nurse reveals herself to be Dr. Butler's wife, Stephanie, who says it is for her own pain. She and so murders Tree in revenge for her husband'due south matter with the girl.
This version was shown in the test screenings for the film and was received negatively past the audience, which led the writers to come up with the theatrical ending. Managing director Christopher Landon also revealed Lori and Dr. Butler were the killers in the crude drafts, which subsequently inspired the idea of the poisoned cupcake.[18]

Conduct McCreary equanimous the score of Happy Expiry Twenty-four hours. Reflecting the picture show's blend of horror and one-act, McCreary stated that he wanted "a schizophrenic, dual personality, with light-hearted comedic scoring on one end, and genuinely terrifying soundscapes on the other." This approach is highlighted by the two main leitmotifs, an energetic theme for Tree evoking contemporary pop music, and one for the killer that consists of distorted vocals provided by McCreary's young girl Sonatin. The percussion in the score are mostly sampled from college marching ring drum lines to evoke the collegiate setting.[nineteen] While the film's trailer featured 50 Cent'south "In Da Club" equally Tree's ringtone, Landon said the film could not afford to use the track, but still preferred the eventual vocal music supervisor Andrea von Foerster improvised, the comedic "Decorated 24-hour interval Birthday".[10]
