* ProductionPosse: Lucky [=McKee=] directed Angela Bettis in ''Film/TheWoods'' and ''The Woman'', and she provided a voice over for an episode of his ''Series/MastersOfHorror''. On the flip side, she directed him in ''Roman''.
* TypeCasting: The buzz around the film led to Angela Bettis being cast in ''{{Film/Carrie 2002}}'' (although that came out first, leading to people assuming it was the other way around). After ''May'' became a cult hit, she ended up doing nothing but horror films for the next decade.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
** The film opened with AMinorKidroduction for May. But once it became obvious that the film was [[SlowPacedBeginning taking too long to get to the point]], it was scrapped. The opening with May and her doll was shot quickly to emphasise the girl's loneliness.
** The meeting between Blank and May was originally done with May being very angry and insulting people as they walked down the street. The scene was re-shot to have May be more cold and vague instead.
