The True Story Of Tusk Didn't Include A Serial Killer
Tusk is based on a true story, but the story it's based on isn't the same one the movie tells. Rather, Tusk is the exploration of what would have happened if a joke were real, and what circumstances would need to fall into place for it to plausibly happen. The advertisement for a voluntary live-in walrus did exist, so Tusk isn't being false with its claims of being based on real events. However, the characters of Wallace, Teddy, and importantly Howard Howe were all made up. Chris Parkinson, w...
Kevin Smith Thought The Real Tusk Ad Was Genuine At First
Considering the major differences between Parkinson’s fake ad and the film, it may be difficult to imagine how the former inspired the latter. Thankfully, Kevin Smith has been open about his process when creating Tusk from the "true story". It's obvious that Tusk replaces the old man with a serial killer and the walrus costume with a grotesque surgical transformation into a human walrus. But where do the film’s protagonists come from? The answer to this question is surprisingly simple: They a...
The Man Behind The Ad That Inspired Tusk Has A Fascinating Story
Screen Rant caught up with UK poet Chris Parkinson, the author of "Landlord Seeks Lodger For Walrus Cosplay" — the online accommodation listing credited with Tusk's entire existence. The project escalated very quickly, and Parkinson was present on-set during the production of Smith's horror curio. According to Parkinson, the escalation of the bizarre but unassuming post led to "the strangest year and a half of his life" (and one of the weirdest movies to boot). "I got whisked out to North Car...
The Director Saw The Potential Of The Weird Tusk True Story

The premise is incomparably bizarre, and while it's easy to appreciate thisas a viewer watching Tusk, it raises questions about how the movie made it through the gate. Kevin Smith has been open in interviews about the difficulties he faced getting Tusk made, and many of them stemmed from ju...
Kevin Smith's Bizarre Walrus Movie Is Getting A Sequel
Break out the human walrus costume, because Tusk is getting a sequel. In the podcast Fatman Beyond (via Geek Tyrant) Kevin Smith himself reported that Tusk 2 is on the way, and there's a reason he left the human walrus at the zoo in Tusk's ending. The writer/director/actor even gave up some of the sequel's premise, which will be called Tusks, so audiences can know what to expect. Firstly, Justin Long will be returning to reprise his role, and at some point, he will be rehabilitated out of the...

Apr 15, 2021 · For anyone who doesn’t know, Tusk is a film about a human (Justin Long), being turned into a walrus. The film, created and directed by Smith after the idea was proposed on his popular podcast, is a comedy horror — but it’s more a bizarre question of: is man really a walrus at heart?
Howard then reveals that he can still walk and lays out his plans to fit Wallace into a perfectly constructed walrus costume in an attempt to re-create Mr. Tusk. Ally and Teddy, who are having an affair, each ignore their phones when Wallace calls them for help.
