Production

Originally titled House of the Dead 3, a continuation of the movie series based on the video game franchise of the same name, this was soon dropped seemingly due to licensing issues. Dead and Deader was director Patrick Dinhut's first feature film. It is a lighthearted zombie movie, and has a strong comedic bent. The film is filled with pop culture references and joking aside, including Star Wars and Dawn of the Dead.

Several characters have names containing pop culture references. For example, Armin Shimerman plays a character named "Flutie", which is a reference to his role on Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Shimerman played principal Snyder, the successor to a principal named "Flutie". There is also a debate between Pvt. Connery and Pvt. Lazenby on the merits of various versions of James Bond actors.
