Production

After their previous project, Super Troopers, had a roughly $3 million budget, Broken Lizard had a $8.5 million budget to work with on Club Dread, secured via Broken Lizard Industry, Cataland Films, Baja Studios, and distributed by 20th Century Fox's Searchlight Pictures. The script was written by Broken Lizard collectively and was directed by Jay Chandrasekar, his third directorial project.

The film was shot in Mexico, protraying the film's setting of a private island off the coast of Costa Rica. Most of footage was captured in Jalisco, Mexico, and the resort scenes were shot at Hotel Cabo Blanco. While having a significantly bigger budget than their previous films, Broken Lizard still opted to take on extra on-set responsibilities, including stunts.
