Yes, The film originated as a short subject horror story for the Zombthology (2008) project, however, during filming writer/director Gary Ugarek pitched the idea to producers to expand the film into a feature length version that could be released separately. 2 versions of the film actually exist, a 26 minute short version that was intended to be the first film in Zombthology and an approximately 90 minute extended Director's Cut. However, the producers of Zombthology have agreed with director Gary Ugarek that the film could be released as a feature only, but would still make an appearance in Zombthology as a 4 minute trailer to meet the original obligations.
