The movie was written by writer/director Joss Whedon, his brothers Zack Whedon (a television writer) and Jed Whedon (a composer), and Jed's fiance, actress Maurissa Tancharoen. The writing team penned the musical during the WGA writers' strike. The idea was to create something small and inexpensive, yet professionally done, in a way that would circumvent the issues that were being protested during the strike. On October 31, 2008, Time magazine named it #15 in Time's Top 50 Inventions of 2008. It also won a People's Choice Award for "Favorite Online Sensation".

Whedon funded the project himself (at just over $200,000 ) and enjoyed the independence of acting as his own studio. “Freedom is glorious,he cmments “And the fact is, I've had very good relationships with studios, and I've worked with a lot of smart executives. But there is a difference when you can just go ahead and do something. As a web show, there were fewer constraints imposed on the project, and Whedon had the “freedom to just let the dictates of the story say how long it's gonna be.'

A Captain Hammer (Nemesis of Dr. Horrible) online comic tie-in was also made available. It will be printed later this year in a Dark Horse Presents graphic novel.Also, an online comic detailing the origin of Moist (entitled Moist: Humidity Rising) debuted online as part of Myspace Dark Horse Presents #17 on 3 December 2008.
