If you look closely at the barrel that rolls past and frightens Dawn in the opening scene, you will notice the word "DALE" scrawled across it in graffiti writing.
George, the postman, is named after George A. Romero, father of the modern-day zombie film.
The date on the CCTV footage of Jim's marriage proposal is 20/03/2013, the day writers Tom Cornwall and Hjálmar Svenna completed the first draft of "Dale", then known as "Untitled Zombie Mockumentary".
Sandy the Zombie Wrangler keeps Dale under control with her homemade "Noose 'N' Pole" contraption - Tom Cornwall and Hjálmar Svenna named their production company "Noose 'N' Pole Productions" in reference to this.
Producer Tess O'Flaherty features as the concerned Anti-Deadite mother.
