The films premise was derived from a student short film shot in 1996 for 2000 at John Carroll University.

The Dead Matter is the largest film ever to be funded and filmed entirely in northeastern Ohio. The majority of the cast and crew were also from Ohio themselves, including the cast, a crew of seventy people, and about three dozen extras playing the role of zombies.During the leadup to the films release, the Midnight Syndicate named their 2008 album The Dead Matter Cemetery Gates as a marketing technique.
