Talking with Empire, Tipping mentioned, “My instinct was to set it up in a way that it feels like we’re in Friday Night Lights, or a Gatorade or Nike ad. We’re rooting for the kid who just needs to unlock one thing to take it to the next level. And then we subvert the expectations and let it become Nosferatu or Ex Machina, and let it evolve or devolve — depending on your sensibilities — into something it’s not. Once I started leaning into some of my favorite horror — which would be more in the vein of a Jacob’s Ladder — the creative floodgates just opened.” Peele mentioned, “At Monkeypaw, we love concepts that shouldn’t be made and that we’re not supposed to the touch, and the mixture of sports activities and horror was one thing I had by no means fairly seen. It was simply clear that we had a style mash-up that was proper up my alley.“
