Behind the scenes

  • California State University, Northridge served as the backdrop for Ryan's business school and the art show.[2]
  • According to Jenna Fischer's MySpace blog, the cast and crew nicknamed the bat "Gary", after Michael Gary Scott.[3]
  • In scenes with the live bat, the cast screamed silently because bats are sensitive to loud sounds.[4] The producers used a live bat, an animatronic bat, and a motorized bat.[5]
  • It was a coincidence that this episode featured vampire and bat themes in the episode and was directed by Buffy the Vampire Slayer director Joss Whedon. Initially, Whedon was annoyed that the storyline involved a bat, but he enjoyed the final results.[5]
  • When shooting on the episode began, Joss Whedon did not like the artwork that was to have been created by Pam, and he held up production for a couple of hours so that it could be improved.[6]
