1	* AcclaimedFlop: Despite the low Box Office return, it got favorable reviews and has since become a CultClassic.
2	* ActorSharedBackground: Angela Bettis has a lazy eye just like her character.
3	* CreatorCameo: Lucky [=McKee=] is the man in the elevator with his girlfriend.
4	* DyeingForYourArt: Angela Bettis had to wear two layers of color contact lenses for when May goes cross-eyed.
5	* OneForTheMoneyOneForTheArt: Angela Bettis claims that the pay was very low, but she did the film because she loved the character's arc. One of the reasons she did ''{{Film/Carrie 2002}}'' was because the money allowed her to financially do ''May'' as well.
6	* PlayingAgainstType: Creator/AnnaFaris in a non-comedic horror role.
7	* 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''.
8	* 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.
9	* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
10	** 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.
11	** 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.
12	* WriteWhatYouKnow: Angela Bettis claims that May was something of an AuthorAvatar for Lucky [=McKee=]. He has a lazy eye, just like May.
