Carissa Fowler came up with the line "But I don't know how to shoot a machete" during her audition for the role of Gwen.
"Dance of the Dead" was hand-picked by director Sam Raimi for distribution through his new label Ghosthouse Underground at Lionsgate.
Rob Tapert of Ghost House Pictures said, "This was a movie that Sam Raimi and myself watched on a Sunday afternoon, we howled and we howled till Sam's wife and kids started banging on his office door wondering if we were alright. I think I've watched it about five times so far."
Unlike most zombie films, aside from the sound of sirens in a very early scene, there are no police officers or military soldiers present or seen at anytime in the film.
The screenplay for "Dance of the Dead" was written in 1998, before zombie movies had returned to the mainstream.
