Trivia

 * Dark Carnival is similar to the comedy-horror film Zombieland, where the climax takes place in a carnival, and the zombies are alerted by rides being turned on.
 * It is also similar to House of the Dead: OVERKILL, in which the protagonists had to shoot their way out of an infected carnival.
 * Dark Carnival's poster is the first poster to feature an infected, as well as the first to be in landscape position, as opposed to every other campaign poster.
 * The infamous Gnome from Half Life 2: Episode Two makes an appearance in the poster, just between Ellis' legs. He has been given the name Gnome Chompski and serves the same purpose as in Half-Life 2: Episode 2, as an achievement and unlocks an avatar reward requires the gnome to be won from one of the mini games in the carnival.
 * The tagline in this campaign obviously refers to the height check carnival operators perform on people to make sure they can ride on certain attractions safely. This tagline may have been influenced by suggestions made on the official forums.
 * In the dialogue before the campaign, it reveals that it was Ellis' idea to go on to the highway, and Coach used to go to Whispering Oaks as a kid. It is later revealed that Ellis and Coach really liked the place when they were young during the campaign, because as you go through areas, they will talk about the carnival.
 * This is the campaign used when Valve revealed Scavenge Mode.
 * Dark Carnival's music.
 * While loading the campaign, you can see the edge of a corner of the poster for Blood Harvest on the right that has been covered up by the Dark Carnival poster. On the left is a band poster for the Midnight Riders.
 * The helicopter pilot that picks you up has the same model as the helicopter pilot in the original Left 4 Dead, and ends in a similar fate.
 * In all the chapters except for the first and last chapter, the music that plays during horde attacks is a spooky theremin tune.
 * This campaign has the most Rolling Crescendos in game, as of The Barns' crescendo counting as a rolling one, because it never stops until the Survivors reach the saferoom.
 * Looking at the maps' length, this is the longest campaign in Left 4 Dead 2.
