This week on MVP’s Collector’s Corner we make a pit stop at the Fright Night Film Fest in Kentucky and chat with resident Pithead – Crater! Crater shares a look at some of the cool collectables that he brought with him to have signed at the convention such as his Phantasm one sheet and a Scream mini-one sheet. We also take a peek at some of the sweet swag he snagged at the con! Check out the video below.
Move over CK and Uncle Bill - there's a new Pithead in the house!
The Mutantville Players would like to send out a round of congratulations to Jessco and Uncle Bill from DEADPIT.COM for the new addition to their household! Longtime fans of DEADPIT.COM will know that Jessco and Uncle Bill were scheduled to get married at the recent Fright Night Film Fest in Kentucky but changes had to be made at the last minute due to Jessco’s poor health at the time. Jessco recovered quickly and reported to the hospital this week to have labor induced.
Jessco reported from her Facebook:
“Our beautiful little baby Piper is doing well. Born on 8/5/11 at 11:40am at 2lbs 14oz. She’s in the NICU for a few weeks until she learns how to eat and gains some weight. Thank you all so much for the thoughts and prayers. ♥”
Welcome back to Mutantville Mondays my lovely mutants! We’re still terribly busy aboard the Mutantville Mothership so there’s little time for updates. In case you have been under a rock on the moon for the past week, the Mutantville Players just returned from the Fright Night Film Fest and Fandom Fest in Louisville, Kentucky. To celebrate we’ve decided to launch the new Mutantville Productions fanpage on Facebook.
Facebook changed the rules on groups over the past few months so we’ve decided that the fanpage is the best operation model for Facebook. To that end, we’re giving you one place to go on Facebook when you need to know about MVP. We’re doing our best to give you one stop horror and science fiction shopping no matter where you are on the worldwide-web. Be sure to “like” the new fanpage because we’re going to be loading it with more videos and exclusive interviews than a bantha can carry!

Streebo began reviewing all the major mainstream horror releases during their theatrical run back in 2004 on the IMDb Horror Board in the topic: Diagnosing the Problems and Celebrating Modern Horror. Streebo’s First double feature review was a back to back viewing of Saw and The Grudge. The topic was eventually locked on the IMDb due to exceeding the allowed number of responses which at one point numbered almost 800 in total.
Streebo has kept the tradition alive since 2007 when he changed the title to Celebrating Modern Horror and began posting v-log reviews as opposed to written essays. He spent all of last year watching the latest releases and reviewing them for you and today we are proud to announce the winners of 2010′s MVP Playas Award.
