Ben Woolf's final film. The movie is dedicated to him.
Adrienne Barbeau's role in this film is an homage to the same radio host role she played in the movie La niebla (1980).
One of the kids trick-or-treating is dressed up as "Snake Plissken", the main character from the John Carpenter movies 1997. Escape de Nueva York (1981) and Escape de Los Ángeles (1996).
The 1968 black and white version of "Night of the Living Dead" can be seen as a timeline running through the film.
In the segment "Sweet Tooth", the parents are played by Greg Grunberg and Clare Kramer. Their names are not spoken on screen but the credits show them as Alex Mathis and Lt. Brandt-Mathis. In the movie ¡Araña de grande! (2013), the same actors played the characters Alex Mathis and Lt. Karly Brant who become a couple by the end of the movie. Grunberg is also wearing the same exterminator coveralls he wore in Big Ass Spider.
