Mutantville Productions is proud to announce that we will be screening the final cut of our full length feature G.H.O.S.T. for the cast and crew this Sunday at 2pm and 6pm respectively. MVP’s own Johnny Brento and his wife Nancee are hosting the event at their home in Albemarle. Everyone is invited to come in costume and prepare to have fun.
There will be a selection of the best horror short films from the area screening before the movie starts. We are very happy to have Michael Sharpe’s Deviling, Chris Gervais’ Junker and Last Call Pictures’ Desdemona 6 on the program. It is truly going to be a Halloween weekend to remember. Visit the official G.H.O.S.T. fanpage on Facebook to R.S.V.P.

Welcome back to another wild and whooly edition of Fridays with MVP, oh my faithful mutants. It’s been a crazy month for MVP so far as the Mutantville Players have been deep in the trenches of post-production working on final post for G.H.O.S.T. to get ready for our upcoming private cast and crew screening on October 30th. The footage looks great, the sound is coming along and we’ve just cut a deal with the great Martin Bowes of Attrition to compose the final score for our little supernatural thriller.
We’re super busy this month so there’s little time for updates. We’re going to leave you with a few videos and pics to give you an idea of what’s happening in the world of horror here in North Carolina and beyond while we get back making movie magic – or is that MAJIC! Party on. Make something great. Do the impossible. It’s all within your grasp. This public service announcement has been brought to you by Streebo.
Usually, I keep things light on my weekly Vlog/Blog article but from time to time I feel the need to speak on a serious matter. Any of you who live in the Yadkin-Pee Dee River Basin, as I do, or indeed in the whole of North Carolina need to be aware that a proverbial fox has been in the hen house and is currently attempting to establish a long term residence there.
Welcome back to another edition of Fridays With MVP! There’s so much going on that it’s hard to figure out where to begin. There are more horror films hitting theaters this weekend, Turner Classic Movies has posted their Halloween schedule and The Carolina Theatre is gearing up for the Escapism Festival.

Welcome back to another edition of Mutantville Monday, oh faithful Mutants! We’ve come through another long and productive weekend aboard the Mutantville Mothership so it’s time to give you a rundown on the latest happenings in the worlds of speculative fiction – as seen through the eyes of independent filmmakers. We have a steaming hot load of MVP News for you this morning followed by the Box Office Report with Contagion topping the charts and crazy rumors from around the web – so let’s get started!
(Get your mind and your noses blown after the leap!)
Alien is one of those movies that has been homaged, ripped off and copied. Even in movies like Spaceballs. The original Alien was released in 1979. It was directed by Ridley Scott. It was written by Dan O’Bannon and Ronald Shusett. Alien stars Tom Skerritt, Sigourney Weaver, Veronica Cartwright (no relation to the Cartwrights from Bonanza), Harry Dean Stanton, John Hurt, Ian Holm, Yaphet Kotto, Bolaji Badejo and Helen Horton.
This is the story of a space mining ship (the kind you see everyday) called the Nostromo. The crew are awaken from hypersleep to investigate a strange signal from a planet. They discover it is not a call for help but a warning. Dun dun dun!

We had a busy weekend aboard the Mutantville Mothership this weekend. We moved several projects through various stages of production and had a blast doing it. We’re gearing up to get Tales From Mutantville onto DVD and Blu Ray as well as putting the final touches on G.H.O.S.T. to get it ready for the Fall. Lots of fun things are coming down the pipe for MVP and we thank you all for being a part of it!
FINAL DESTINATION 5 STALLS AT BOX OFFICE GATES!!!
The horror season is off to a slow start as Final Destination 5 stalls at the box office gates this weekend with a lowly take of $18 million. Still, $18 million is better than the $11 million that Grindhouse gained during it’s entire theatrical run so perhaps third place at the box office is not necessarily so bad. The movie is out late in the Summer season but early enough in the fall season to still be lurking in theaters and dollar theaters come Halloween. This Halloween season is packed as each weekend becomes a battleground for the horror top spot with Fright Night coming this week, followed by Red State, Apollo 18, Don’t Be Afraidof the Dark and Paranormal Activity 3 over the coming months.

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. ♥”
Here on the Mutantville Mothership, we’re still working hard on finishing all of the videos from the Fright Night Film Fest for you. Since it’s already Friday, we thought we’d take a moment to do a quick station identification for you in the form of an MVP update! Get into the 21st Century by following us on Twitter @MVP (Yes, we DO have @MVP on Twitter). Then add us on Facebook by “liking” the fanpage.
