A DVD was released with alternate cover art that showed the Gingerdead Man on a crucifix wearing a crown of thorns. This version was released exclusively through the Full Moon Features website.
The song featured over the credits "Run, Run, Run" is a spoof of the Joan Jett song "Bad Reputation" as well as a reference to the Gingerbread Man fairy tale in which the title character taunts "Run, run, run as fast as you can! You can't catch me, I'm the Gingerbread Man!"
The studio in the film, Cheatum Studios, is a play on the term, "Cheat 'em" and also a parody of the film's production company, Full Moon Features. In the film, the studio's biggest claim to fame is a movie series about living puppets.
A majority of the background music in the film is the exact same music used in the 1998 film Casper Meets Wendy (1998).
