The unrated version of the movie was shown in sixty theatres on its debut weekend across the United States and Canada. Most of the theaters were unaware of the extent of the extreme violence in the film, and nearly all of the theaters had stopped playing the movie by Monday morning.
The first horror movie to be theatrically released unrated in mainstream cinemas across the United States since George A. Romero's Dawn of the Dead (1978). When the MPAA kept giving this movie an NC-17 rating with each submission, the filmmakers decided to circumvent them, and go straight to a major cinema chain and show them the film. When AMC theaters saw the uncut movie, they loved it. Then, after hearing just how much of the violence would have to be cut out to get an R-rating by the ratings board, AMC agreed to release this movie in their theaters unrated. However, they later pulled the film from their theaters, when it was released for only a few days.
During the meeting, when Reverend Zombie (Tony Todd) is offering the bounty, one character mentions Jason Voorhees. He then also mentions he comes from the town of Glen Echo, and that town's urban legend is known as Leslie Vernon, a reference to Behind the Mask - The Rise of Leslie Vernon (2006).
According to the horror website bloody-disgusting.com, this movie's final tally of fake blood used in its making, is one hundred thirty-six gallons. That's eighty-one gallons more, and more than double the amount used in the making of Hatchet (2006), which reportedly used fifty-five gallons of fake blood.
The crew is almost entirely the same crew who made Hatchet (2006), one of Writer and Director Adam Green's stipulations for whether or not he would return to the helm for this movie.
"Chad: Hey, man. Who's Victor Crowley? Layton: Well, he's nothing. A local bogeyman story about a retarded maniac who haunts Honey Island. People just use it to keep kids away from the swamp. Chad: You mean like a Jason Voorhees or something? Layton: Something like that. Chad: When I was eight, I lived in this town called Glen Echo. Our ghost story is about this man named Leslie Vernon..."
