Title: There's No Such Thing as Vampires
Content:  Director Logan Thomas worked with American actor and writer Aric Cushing to pen the film's script. The two had previously worked together on the 2011 film The Yellow Wallpaper and Thomas did not want to make a similar film for his follow up. Cushing suggested several plots, all of which Thomas declined until Cushing suggested one about "a couple of people being out in the desert, basically being stalked in the desert by a Nosferatu or possible vampire". Thomas wanted the film to be a road movie and to "add something new to the vampire myth", so he wanted to "combine the other stuff that I would rather do, something closer to the original Mad Max or Terminator, and bring that idea and level of myth to it." Other inspirations for the film came from the film Fright Night and 80s horror films in general. Casting for the movie took about six to ten weeks and principal photography for There's No Such Thing as Vampires wrapped in 2017.
