The original working title of this film is Fat Chance.
There are a total of thirty-six credited cast members in this film.

Even though the movie is supposed to take place on an island, Camp Loss is within driving distance of Bottomless Ray's Buffet. The commercial for Bottomless Ray's shows a telephone number with a 205 area code, which is an area code in Alabama. The characters of Andy Morrison and Greg Mulvaney are from Alabama.
The name of the pizza delivery business featured in this film is Raimi's Pizza, which is an homage to Sam Raimi - director of The Evil Dead, as well as its sequel projects.
Darc Ness wears a The Hospital t-shirt in this film. The Hospital is another movie produced by Deviant Pictures. Darc Ness is played by Ernest Douglas Nichols, who also appears in The Hospital as John.
Actor Dick Warlock is wearing a Michael Myers pin on his tie. Warlock portrayed the infamous masked killer in the original 1978 slasher, Halloween, by director John Carpenter.
The death of Hailey in the motel shower is likely intended as an homage to Janet Leigh's death scene in Psycho by director Alfred Hitchcock.
