Dudes in the Horror thread will eat this up but everyone should pick up a copy and read it this Halloween season. Probably the funniest and downright scariest book I've read in a long time.

Don "Bubba Ho-Tep" Coscarelli will be directing the film adaptation.

All the reviews on Amazon have me itching to read this, not that I have the time to.

Read it a while back, such a great book. It's an awesome blend of comedy and horror. Definitely recommended.

I really want to buy this book and probably will with my next paycheck. The author is a pretty funny guy, proof seen here. (http://www.cracked.com)

David Wong is fucking hilarious, but I've never read this book. He's one of the head editors over at Cracked.com now.

The one thing I can't get over about David Wong is his avatar over there. See it everyday, and it only gets weirder every time.

Is it still the Prince picture? I remember when he used to run pointlesswasteoftime and he put up that image as a 'hint' as to the big news he had (which ended up being that he had gotten hired over at Cracked), and someone apparently managed to guess that was the news based on it (although I'm sure there were further hints on the forums for the site, or it was just a joke or something).

Yep, still Prince.

Yup! Bout a year and a half ago. I enjoyed it. It got legitimately creepy at some points (mostly at the beginning), and it definitely was hilarious. I rec'd it to a couple friends, and they all enjoyed it as well. How do you think they'll do with the movie that's coming out? The trailer actually looks pretty decent.Looks like it'll be faithful to the book.

I've recommended it to a bunch of my friends, some of them who don't usually read at all. Every single one loved it. I 'm glad it seems faithful to the book, sometimes hollywood really does butcher some great books. Should be getting the sequel coming out soon as well :D
