CAV Distributing sent along the info on the double-DVD package, which will contain the four-hour NEVER SLEEP AGAIN and another four hours of bonus material. The documentary, directed by Daniel Farrands and Andrew Kasch, written by Thommy Huston and hosted by franchise star Heather Langenkamp (pictured above with Wes Craven), will explore all eight movies from Craven’s original NIGHTMARE through FREDDY VS. JASON, featuring new interviews with cast and filmmakers and never-before-seen behind-the-scenes footage, deleted scenes, FX tests, photos, production and promotional art, publicity material, etc.
In this video – reviewer Pizowell discusses the documentary Overnight – about the trials and tribulations of director Troy Duffy and his journey to bring Boondock Saints to the screen. This should be considered required viewing for all aspiring filmmakers and film students. Listen to Pizowell’s thoughts and then go and watch Overnight on Netflix as it is available for instant viewing.

We reviewed the first assembly of G.H.O.S.T. last night and the verdict is in – it looks great! We were very pleased with what we have so far. Plans have been set in motion to shoot additional scenes for G.H.O.S.T. to expand the proposed short film into a full length feature! We’re planning a horrific new intro scene to set the tone for the movie as well as a few new introductory scenes for the members of our G.H.O.S.T. team. The wheels have been set in motion and a new schedule will be planned out over the coming weeks. The new scenes should put us back in front of the camera for the next few months – extending the filming of G.H.O.S.T. into the spring. We couldn’t be happier with our progress on G.H.O.S.T. and can’t wait to share it with you all.

The energy is high on the Mutantville Mothership as the producers of MVP meet tonight to review the first assembly of G.H.O.S.T.. G.H.O.S.T. was originally proposed as a five minute short for the Chiller Dare to Direct contest – but was expanded in a longer 30 minute short film. The first cut of G.H.O.S.T. came in at a unexpected 47 minutes. Everyone is so pleased with what we have so far – that we are excited about the possibility of expanding G.H.O.S.T. into a full length feature with an approximate run time of 70 minutes. Tonight we will discuss what works or doesn’t work in the first cut as well as going over the visual FX needed and possible approaches to the score. We will also have our final discussion on the new scenes to be filmed to lengthen the movie before locking them into a new version of the script. What a long strange trip it’s been – and we’re only getting started!

Since we’ve reached the end of the first cut of G.H.O.S.T., let’s take a look back at the genesis of the project – beginning with Brento’s initial walk through of the opera house.

Last night saw the Mutantville Players return to the opera house once more for another round of pick up shots. Luckily we weren’t just shooting windows and door frames this week as we were able to suit up and get bloody for another cool special make-up FX shot. Alan Whitley out his boomstick down and picked up the latex to play the part of our supernatural visitor. Alan underwent a grueling 3 hour session at the hands of special make-up FX kingpin Todd A. Britt. The air was chilly but Alan’s spirits were warm under layers of silicon, tubing and buckets of blood as he brought our ghostly friend to unatural life! With this shot in the can – we have only two major FX shots left and G.H.O.S.T. will be complete. This Sunday, the Mutantville Players are heading to the green and grassy hills of South Carolina for our final pick up shots with two of our leads – Kathy Sandvoss and Scott Thomas. The journey to make G.H.O.S.T. has been an amazing one. It will be sad to see it all come to an end. Be sure to keep checking Mutantville.com for your up to the minute MVP news!

Principle photography on G.H.O.S.T. ended two weeks ago – but you would never know it on the Mutantville Mothership. The producers have been hard at work keeping the websites updated, shooting pick up shots, designing posters, and editing the actual movie. The first assembly is coming together and we couldn’t be happier with the results so far. We keep producing new promo posters so keep checking here and on Facebook for the latest designs. Be sure to add your feedback so we know which posters people like. Speaking of posters – here’s a strong early contender for final poster status. It’s a simple still shot taken during filming – but it says everything about the project in one powerful image. What do you think?

Make-up FX Maestro Todd A. Britt brings another ghostly creation to life during the wee hours of the night.
Last night, Mutantville Productions wrapped principle photography on G.H.O.S.T. after a long fifteen hour shoot. Kathy Sandvoss earned her final Scream Queen stripes and Super Diva status by battling her way through another challenging shoot. Thanks to our good friend, couture designer, Luis Machicao for lending his tremendous talents in supervising the filming of his costume designs for the finale of the movie. Lead actor Scott Thomas persevered another bloody and bruising shoot to bring our central ghost to life. Clint Jones showed his horror heart by enduring several make-up sessions. Dave Tunik gave his all in taking another bloody bite out of his role and a gelatin prop. Jason Wheely gave a heartwrenching performance as a haunted young TV producer. Jack Stecher pulled out all the stops to give a bravura performance as the crazy caretaker of the opera house.
Special thanks goes out to MVP’S own maestro of make-up FX – Todd A. Britt for bringing all of his Sith talents to bear in creating several macabre make-ups over the course of the fifteen hour marathon. Additional thanks goes to Sylvia and Sierra for lending their talents to the make-up department by resurrecting our supernatural visitors once more. Thanks again to Allan Whitley for toughing out another long night to lend a strong hand and keep our boomstick steady for another night. Special thanks goes out MVP’S own Costume Diva, seamstress and assistant to Mr. Machicao, Angela Pritchett who although unable to attend our final shoot due to schedule conflicts, put in many a long night on the set of G.H.O.S.T., lending her considerable costuming talents to help bring the production to life. Thanks to John R. Sexton for putting on a layered performance as Grandfather last month. Thank you to Kayli Tolleson and her mom Janna for lending their talent, energy and support to G.H.O.S.T. over the course of the shoot. And last but not least a very special thanks goes to my mom, Momma Streebo, for being a beacon of strength and inspiration to me over the years and for dusting off her sewing machine to create Johnny Reb’s jacket in whole – mere days before the first shoot. And to anyone that helped that I may have overlooked here, thank you for your help, we could not have done it without you all. Thank you.
This project has been an amazing journey and I thank you all for sharing it with me. Production may be complete – but post-production begins immediately as we will continue with editing, sound design and shooting final make-up FX shots of the movie. Be sure to keep tuning in to Mutantville.com and Mutant TV for your up to the minute news on G.H.O.S.T., C for Chaos, and MVP.

Mutantville Productions is proud to announce that today is one year and a day since we began planning what became G.H.O.S.T.. Tonight marks the final shoot of principle photography. We are very excited about how great the performances, FX and footage has looked so far. We couldn’t be happier. Better still is the fact that next week we all get to celebrate by being lazy and enjoying Thanksgiving with our families. See you all soon. Remember it wouldn’t be possible without you.
