Coffee Shop of Horrors will release PHILIP NUTMAN'S WET WORK COFFEE - Coffee That's A Shot To The Head * in October 2009, just in time for those Halloween party hangovers.
Inspired by Nutman's enduringly popular, 1993 bestselling, Bram Stoker Award-nominated novel which has been cited as the detonating book which opened the floodgates for the plethora of zombie novels you can find at your local chain store, WET WORK is a secret recipe combining the subtle nutty taste of Brazilian beans with the full body of rich Colombian coffee--a genuine eye-opener in the morning which will keep you charged throughout the day. (*and every cup is guaranteed "Chock Full O' Nutman!"™).
"It started out as a running joke with the original owner of Coffee Shop of Horrors, but under the new ownership the coffee has become a reality," Nutman said, pouring another mug of this must-have-another-cup brew.
Nutman suggested the mix and decided on the final form for the coffee. "I've had more energy and written more in the past few days than I have in months," he added between sips.
Coffee Shop of Horrors will debut the potent medium dark roast beverage at Spooky Empire's Weekend of Horrors on Friday, October 9, 2009 in Orlando, Florida, and will be available for mail order the following week (although the chance to pre-order will be possible soon—check their site for details).
All coffees produced by the company are roasted in small batches and shipped promptly to ensure customers receive vibrant, fresh beans or blend to stimulate their taste buds.
In addition to the coffee, Nutman and his filmmaking partner, fellow screenwriter Jayson Palmer (CREEPY TALES; IDIOTS ARE US), have written, produced and directed a commercial for the coffee's launch. A homage to early ‘70s exploitation/horror trailers, the short features zombie-killing mayhem, decapitation and a very smart Collie, Max, whom Nutman claims is his agent. "Max said he was tired of taking 10 percent and insisted he make his acting debut," the author explained. The trailer also will have its world premiere at the Florida convention before appearing online. A different, theatrical version is also in the works.
The label was designed and illustrated by acclaimed artist Mark Maddox , and T-shirts featuring the logo will also be available shortly. The striking make-up effects featured in the "trailer" were designed and executed by acclaimed Atlanta-based artist, musician, performer and FX creator Shane Morton, perhaps currently best known as "Ghost-Host with the Most," Professor Morte, who presents and performs the monthly retro Silver Scream Spookshow at The Plaza Theatre in Atlanta. Fellow partner in crime, and co-presenter of the monthly Splatter Cinema screenings at The Plaza, Nick Morgan, guest stars as the "Executive Zombie" in the trailer.
Stay tuned for more details.
