Earlier this film's release date was postponed because the studio wanted to convert it to 3D, despite objections from Joss Whedon and Drew Goddard. These plans were eventually scrapped, and the film was released only in 2D.

This movie won five 2012 Fright Meter Awards, including Best Horror Movie, Best Director, and Best Screenplay.

The entry date in the book they read in the movie from is April 4th which is the same day that the George Orwell novel "1984" begins.

This movie is one of two films featuring Chris Hemsworth that had been filmed in 2009, but not released until 2012. The other being Red Dawn (2012).

When Jules kisses the wolf head on the wall, the wolf's tongue is covered in powdered sugar to give it a dusty look and to make the scene tolerable for the actress.

The thermal coffee mug/bong was a fully functional mug and the bong, as portrayed in the film, the prototype of this thermal mug, cost $5000 to make.
