Scanners One Sheet on Collector’s Corner with MVP.
Scanners (1981) poster.
David Cronenberg is one of our favorite horror filmmakers of all time. No other filmmaker’s work quite captured the disturbing visceral quality of his works. One of the his most memorable one sheets comes from the 1981 films Scanners.
I remember hanging out at my buddy Kirk’s down the street. His family had a room with a pool table and over it hung the classic one sheet for Scanners. Kirk’s older brother was always watching horror films and had plastered posters in the rec room as well as his own room. None of them stood out the way the Scanners one sheet did. It haunted me for years and now you have a chance to bring it home.
The bargain hunters and mad collectors at MVP have discovered an eBay auction for a nice French Scanners one sheet. Bid now and hang it over your pool table later.

Christopher G. Moore’s Bursters explode on Trailer Park Tuesday.
Bursters (2010) by Christopher G. Moore
We’re all recovering from our holiday festivities here on the Mutantville Mothership so we thought we would keep things in the holiday spirit by featuring the work of one of our fellow North Carolinian filmmakers Christopher G. Moore. We first met Christopher at ConCarolinas in 2010 where his movie Bursters played alongside Devil Comes Down. Needless to say we were very impressed with the quality of Christopher’s work as well as the dark humor that was present in his movie.
MVP would encounter Christopher again when Scarecrow At Midnight played alongside Bursters at the Nevermore Film Festival earlier this year. Since then, Christopher has gone on to make more shorts including the Lovecraftian black comedy Flush With Fear which went on to win “Best Horror Short” at the NYC International Film Festival. Christopher is currently involved in post-production on his latest work – Foodie.

De-Stress with Geo – 20 Ways to Relax
Relax just do it, when you want to get to it. . .
We all have our ways to relax…whether it’s watching movies(pretty normal for filmmakers for obvious reasons), being outdoors, exercising, shooting black tar heroin, going shopping, listening to music, playing music(one of my personal favorites), dancing, playing video games, I think you get the idea. All of these things keep us sane and if we run ourselves all the time, we don’t do these things and it affects our craft and our relationship with everyone else in our lives because we become moody and mean.
Learn some ways to relax after the leap!

G.H.O.S.T., Scarecrows and Things Oh My! Happy Halloween on Mutantville Mondays!
G.H.O.S.T. cast and crew gather for screening.
The Mutantville Players had another crazy weekend as we saw the fruits of two year’s worth of labor come to fruition. Saturday night while MVP was frantically working to complete work on the final cut of G.H.O.S.T. – another MVP project – Scarecrow At Midnight played across town at the Myers House NC Halloween Bash! Working through the night – MVP was able to get G.H.O.S.T. ready for the screening on Sunday.
Sunday all of our friends, filmmakers and fellow Players came out to celebrate the occasion with us by watching a program of horror including Michael Sharpe’s Deviling, Desdemona 6 from Last Call Pictures and MVP’s own G.H.O.S.T. Everyone came in costume and had an amazing time. There was plenty of beer, cheer and screams to go around.

David Hess Remembered, Paranormal Activity Returns & October Rolls On this Friday with MVP!
MVP and Image Impact Group together again.
The Mutantville Players are off to the set of Robert W. Filion’s Athena again this weekend. We’re helping Image impact Group all month long and it’s been a great shoot so far. We’re one week away from the private cast and crew screening of G.H.O.S.T. and all we have left to do is slide all of the final sound and FX pieces into place. It’s going to be so much fun to share the final product with all of our friends for Halloween.
In the midst of all of this creative activity – we still find the time to bring you reviews, articles, interviews and special features that you won’t find anywhere else! Speaking of interviews – - I hear there’s a brand new interview with John Carpenter coming to Mutant TV very soon!

Dog Soldiers tells the story of six British Army soldiers dropped into the Scottish Highlands to perform routine training exercises only to discover that something much more sinister is afoot – approximately seven afoot tall to be exact – with ears, fur and big pointy teeth! Find out what happens by watching the movie below.
