''Ang Manananggal sa Unit 23B'' which had a genre described as "Romantic Gore" was directed by Prime Cruz and written by Jen Chuaunsu and was produced under The IdeaFirst Company.<ref name="pep1">{{cite news|last1=Franco|first1=Bernie|title=Ryza Cenon broke down in tears before shooting love scene: "Bakit ko 'to gagawin?"|trans-title=Ryza Cenon broke down in tears before shooting love scene: "Why do I have to do it?"|url=http://www.pep.ph/guide/movies/24782/ryza-cenon-broke-down-in-tears-before-shooting-masturbation-scene-for-movie|accessdate=21 August 2017|work=PEP.ph|publisher=Philippine Entertainment Portal, Inc.|date=10 October 2016}}</ref>

Prime wanted to make a film revolving around the local folklore creature, the [[manananggal]]. Jen Chuaunsu said that the production team wanted to create a film where the mananaggal is the protagonist instead of the antagonist as usually portrayed in film. Chuausnu who made a research on the folklore creature said that the particular character in ''Manananggal'' was added with human characteristic in an effort to make the supernatural more relatable.<ref name="mt"/>

[[Sex scenes]] were shot for the ''Manananggal'': the character of Cenon masturbating and sex between the characters of Cenon and Cholo Barretto. Cenon's portrayal in the film is considered as her first "mature" role and was initially hesitant to do the scenes. She considered the masturbation scene as easier to make since she was alone compared with her scene with Barretto.<ref name="pep1"/> The two scenes were shot a day each and the production staff - the camera and lighting crew involved in the scenes were all women.<ref name="pep2">{{cite news|last1=Dimaculangan|first1=Jocelyn|title=Ryza Cenon on shooting indie film: "Mas mahirap sa akin ang sex scene kaysa sa masturbation scene."|trans-title=Ryza Cenon on shooting indie film: "The sex scene was harder to do than the masturbation scene for me."|url=http://www.pep.ph/guide/movies/24669/ryza-cenon-on-shooting-indie-film-mas-mahirap-sa-akin-ang-sex-scene-kaysa-sa-masturbation-scene|accessdate=21 August 2017|work=PEP.ph|publisher=Philippine Entertainment Portal, Inc.|language=Filipino, English|date=27 September 2016}}</ref>
