* For Mr. Snuggles' voice, to differentiate from Tobin Bell's voice for Billy the Puppet, numerous voices of [[CrossDressingVoices women]], children and men were considered before the crew settled on a computer-simulated voice two days before the sound mix finished. This was likely dropped because Logan was shown to have done the same in ''Film/{{Jigsaw}}''.

* Bousman had stated that ''Spiral'' was the ''Saw'' film that faced the most trouble with the MPAA after ''Saw IV'', with numerous scenes and moments being cut while the crew where fighting to keep the most scenes as possible. He had also lamented that said scenes featured plenty of impressionable work from a special effects artist he had worked with since a long time ago, meaning that said work would never come to screen. Those scenes included the following:

* Boz's wife Kara and the black SUV (both of which were mostly left for unthreaded scenes in the final film) were meant to be part of a sub-plot in which Zeke found out Boz [[ClosetGay had various affair meetings with another man unbeknownst to Kara]]. Said man was the owner of the SUV, and would have been a RedHerring killer.
