Trivia: Most movies film night scenes with a technique called "day for night," in which nighttime scenes are shot during the day, but are filmed and color-corrected in such a way as to make the footage look like it was filmed during the night. "Ginger Snaps" had the opposite problem. Several of the scenes set during the day actually had to be filmed at night due to scheduling issues. The production had to use massive floodlights to simulate daylight in the background. The lights were so powerful, they were easily visible to airplanes flying several miles above the filming location.

Ginger Snaps (2000)

Trivia: The opening credits, in which we see Ginger and Brigitte doing "mock suicides" in increasingly grisly fashion, was filmed in a young family's house in Canada... while the family - including a four-year-old child - was home. Various crew members had to spend the day playing with or otherwise distracting the child so she wouldn't see the gory scenes being filmed outside.

Trivia: Director John Fawcett refused to use CG on the werewolves, wanting to do the effects using old-fashioned prosthetics and animatronics as a tribute to classic werewolf films of the past.
