The legend of Faust concerns a 16th-century German scholar and magician who, disillusioned with his lack of progress, enters into a pact with the devil—ultimately condemning his soul to eternal damnation in exchange for a period of satanic servitude. 450 years later, give or take a decade or two, this classic cautionary tale captured the imagination of Canadian filmmaker/writer Craig David Wallace, who—along with co-creators Charles Picco and Anthony Leo—applied the legend to a contemporary scholar (high school student) and magician (stoner metalhead guitarist) in pursuit of knowledge and power (to command the respect of his fellow students and ultimately get laid). The result is the Canadian comedy/horror TV series Todd And The Book Of Pure Evil.
