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!"
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.
A majority of the background music in the film is the exact same music used in the 1998 film Casper Meets Wendy (1998).
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.
