Join us Thursday October 11th for the double feature of Scarecrow at Midnight and the Secret 35mm Screening at BAFS!
From writer/director J.T.McRoberts:
“Scarecrow at Midnight came from MVP’s love of classic Halloween themed horror films. In 2010, Kenny Caperton, owner of the Myers House NC asked us to come up with something original to shoot in his home. Since Kenny’s house is a replica of the infamous Myers House from John Carpenter’s Halloween – he is constantly inundated with requests from filmmakers to shoot Michael Myers fanfilms at his home.
Kenny asked MVP to come up with an original idea to shoot there and Scarecrow at Midnight was the result. We combined a tight little script about a scarecrow slasher with a talented cast and a dedicated crew and spent two days at Kenny’s house shooting. The result is an engaging little Halloween themed slasher flick that has become a big hit with fans during the Halloween season. The short film premiered at the Nevermore Film Festival in 2011, and has gone on to play at conventions and festivals across the country – including a 2011 Halloween screening where it opened for a 35mm screening of Evil Dead.
It has become something that fans are associating with our favorite time of the year – Halloween. That means more to me than anything else in the world. Now with Scarecrow at Midnight being released to DVD this month on the Tales from Mutantville anthology – it seems only fitting that we screen it at the cinema – one last time.”
Remember to sign up for MVP door prizes including MVP DVDs, vintage Fangoria magazines, and a signed Roger Corman print!
