Cracked.com columnist David Wong got his start with a cultastic horror comedy novel with its spoiler-mugging title that he delivered on an blog until it went viral and got published. Don Coscarelli of Phantasm and Bubba Ho-Tep fame picked it up and fell in love with it, and got Paul Giamatti so interested that Giamatti even produced it. So if you’re wondering why everyone’s all excited, it’s because of psychedelic time traveling gore-induced profanity-laced alt-universe skipping toilet humor, essentially what would happen if The Dude got into something a little harder and from a different dimension.
