Christy Faulkner is the second actress to play final girl Audrey Small. Julie Sherwood portrayed the character in the first film. Sherwood was set to return and appeared in promotional material & videos early on. Four weeks before production was to begin, she had to cancel due to personal conflicts, and Faulkner was brought in fresh off the set of Ryan Stacy's short film "Ladies Night."
The first draft of the script was finished before the premiere of "Midsummer Nightmares"), it was two and half years before the sequel saw it's premiere (March 2014).
