Originally intended to be a public access TV show, It Came from Beyond Midnight (2010) was canceled before it was scheduled to air after a disagreement between series creator Josh N. Hadley and the TV station, resulting in Hadley being fired.
After the show's cancellation, Noah Antwiler, best known on the internet for his review series The Spoony Experiment (2007), and who appeared in several episodes of It Came from Beyond Midnight (2010) as the character 'Leslie Striker', uploaded episodes onto his website in addition to his own content, only for it to increasingly come under fire by his fans for not being fully Spoony-related content and because it bloated the front page of his website every time Spoony uploaded a new segment (seven videos per episode). He got mad about it and called out his fans on Twitter, stating that his friends were more important than the opinions of the whiners.
Although series creator Josh N. Hadley was angry at first that It Came from Beyond Midnight (2010) got canceled, he later understood the reason behind its cancellation and regretted making the show, stating how awful it was when he uploaded the episodes on his YouTube channel.
Editor Nicholas J. Michalak became involved in late 2013 after creator Josh N. Hadley stated on an early episode of his internet radio show Radiodrome that he was hoping to find someone to finish up the remaining final episodes of It Came from Beyond Midnight (2010). This eventually resulted in a collaboration on a monthly video magazine called 12:01 Beyond that ran from 2014-2015 as well as other video projects down the line.
It Came from Beyond Midnight (2010) was listed in the DirecTV channel guide shortly before the TV station canceled the show.
