During our interview with him, we askedJeff Wadlowwhat movies he watched growing up and which  inspired him to makeThe Curse of Bridge Hollow:

“The Curse of Bridge Hollow is really inspired by Amblin films from the 80s and 90s. Movies like Gremlins, The Goonies, E.T., these films really inspired Bridge Hollow (…) That’s what I was trying to do, to kind of recapture the mystery and magic and wish fulfillment of those movies.”

The Jim Henson Company, famously known for its work onDark Crystal, The Muppets, and Labyrinth,alsoworked on the design ofThe Curse of Bridge Hollowcreatures.

“TheJim Henson Company made a lot of our monsters. So many great things were made for this movie. We hired four different creature effects houses to work on the film because they were so many monsters to be made.”
