Worst of all, the house randomly drips blood on Alex's white polo shirt the instant he walks through the door. Most tellingly, the address is 3 Blood Street - and, no, it's not pronounced 'blood.' It's 'Blud' Street. (Actually, Dracula would be more covert this guy can't stop evil cackling to save his life.) From the outside, the house looks ready to fall apart from a gentle breeze, and the interior is depressingly dilapidated. The bare bones thing called a 'plot' concerns Wiseau's character, Alex, who purchases a house from the shadiest real estate agent ( Joey Greco) this side of Count Dracula himself. With that in mind, the film is as absolutely wild as one could hope for. Its cues and style are obviously based on The Room, with Wiseau's involvement making the homage unquestionable. The horror-comedy short premiered on Comedy Central in 2010 and was hosted on the now defunct Atom website. The twelve-minute venture stars Wiseau in some deliberately self-aware casting, but he had no hand in its creation sketch comedian group Studio8, specifically writer-director Jared Richard, are at the creative helm. The Room's legacy is the shadow in which a short film titled The House That Drips Blood on Alex was made.

Just look at the mountain of memes, gif reactions, and how often fans incorporate the most egregious quotes into everyday conversation. And for that attitude, people still unironically adore Wiseau's strikingly odd creation. The Room didn't know those rules existed and didn't care. Other cult classics with fervent fan bases, like Rocky Horror Picture Show, understood and followed the rules of coherent filmmaking.
