A special feature on the DVD plays the movie from the college kids' perspective, in which Tucker and Dale are murderous villains.
The film was shelved for over three years before it was finally released.
Tyler Labine chose the "GIV'ER" hat to wear as Dale for two reasons. First, it looks like the word "GIVER" alluding to his kind and generous nature. Second, it is the Canadian equivalent of "Git 'er done," the redneck phrase popularized by Larry the Cable Guy.
