Is Sam and Dale (the para-physical investigators) a reference to Sam and Dean from Supernatural? They also call the other guy Bob!
Bradley Valentine I don't personally know Bret. I'm still confident in calling this a coincidence.

Either that or perhaps Bret and Eric Kripke (creator of Supernatural) were referencing a common influence. More likely it's a complete coincidence. For example, there were also a rash of drive-by shootings in 2005 committed by another pair named Sam (Dieterman) and Dale (Hausner). I seriously doubt THAT is a factor.

Anyway, if LUNAR PARK hit in 2005, that means Bret would have had to have the book turned over to the publisher in 2004 for the tedious work that goes into processing a manuscript to the bookstore (or however books are consumed lately).

Fun idea though! I'd LOVE LOVE LOVE to see what Bret could do with the Winchesters in his book world. Maybe kill some vampires from The Informers. haha. (less)
