Muticia’s Movie Morgue marks new era for Horror Hostdom and Zombie Day is coming on Mutantville Mondays!
Muticia's Movie Morgue is open for business!
Welcome back to Mutantville Mondays, oh faithful mutants. The Mutantville Mothership was abuzz with activity over the weekend as we made it through day one on the set of Muticia’s Movie Morgue Episode One: George A. Romero’s Night of the Living Dead. We were able to shoot through thirteen scenes with countless setups over the course of the day on Saturday and we couldn’t be happier with the final results.
The footage looks spectacular and we’re sure that you will all enjoy what you see. The first hurdle has been cleared so we’re setting our sights on the next one. Join us again in two weeks on Sunday April 15th for Zombie Day on the set of Muticia’s Movie Morgue. We’ll be putting an undead horde of zombies to work on the set that day so make sure you don’t miss it.
Thank you all for making this weekend’s shoot so special. It was one of the smoothest and most fun shoots we’ve had at the Mutantville Productions Studios in ages. Enjoy your rest this week and spend some quality time with your family.
We’ll see you all in two weeks for Zombie Day! Spread the word. Join the fun. Keep it MVP.

Eli Roth lists his Top Five Horror Films.
The good scribes over at Slasher Studios have just posted a link to an interview with Eli Roth from the Daily News Los Angeles in which he discloses a list of his favorite horror films. Some of his choices seem to be no-brainers but a couple might surprise you. Check out the trailers to his choices below and then hop over to Daily News Los Angeles to read the complete interview with Mr.Roth.
“Sleepaway Camp” (1983): Ah, “Sleepaway Camp.” I remember watching this film at a sleepover with Lenny Mead and a bunch of friends in the mid-’80s, and when the movie ended we literally stood up out of our chairs and screamed at the top of our lungs until we ran out of air. I will not say why – and don’t go looking up the spoilers on the Internet because that will take all the fun away. Treat yourself to a wonderful surprise.

The Changeling, Pet Sematary and Assault on Precinct 13 make for spooky Easter weekend!
Tired of dying Easter eggs this weekend? Then get out to the Triad theatres this weekend to see a wave of movies filled with people that are dying to scare you! Tonight, the Carolina Theatre in Durham is hosting a double feature of The Changeling and Stephen King’s Pet Sematary and then tomorrow night Cinema Overdrive returns to The Colony with a double feature of John Carpenter’s Assault on Precinct 13 and Sam Raimi’s Thou Shalt Not Kill, Except . . .
Make your way to Retrofantasma tonight at the Carolina Theatre for this spooky supernatural double feature of two of the finest horror films ever made. The Changeling is up first at 7pm followed by Pet Sematary at 9pm. Get there early to sign up for cool door prizes as usual. Tickets are only $8 for both movies. As usual it’s more fun than you can shake your boomstick at!
From the Retrofantasma website:
“Although set in the US, The Changeling was largely filmed in Canada. It was the first film to win Best Picture in the Canadian Film Awards after its name was changed to the Genie Awards. The story is based upon events experienced by writer Russell Hunter while he was living in the Henry Treat Rogers Mansion of Denver, Colorado. Director Martin Scorsese placed The Changeling on his list of the 11 scariest horror films of all time. Pet Sematary was the first filmed screenplay that Stephen King adapted from one of his own novels. King required the movie to be filmed in Maine and his screenplay to be followed rigorously. George Romero was originally set to direct but when filming was delayed, he dropped out. Tom Savini was offered the director’s chair, but turned down the project. Eventually, Mary Lambert stepped in. Shot for a $11.5 million, Pet Sematary would gross more than $57 million and become the highest-grossing horror film of 1989.”
And tomorrow night ring in Easter properly by watching a gritty double feature at The Colony in Raleigh starting with
John Carpenter’s Assault on Precinct 13 at 9:30pm and then Sam Raimi’s Thou Shalt Not Kill, Except. . . at 11:30pm. Tickets for Cinema Overdrive are only $8.50 for both movies so you’d be crazy not to take advantage of it!
Check out the trailers below and then get thyself to the theater or else this Sunday you won’t wake up to the Easter Bunny , you’ll wake up in the Pet Sematary.

George A. Romero honored as Inspirational Filmmaker of the Month!
It was 1968. George A. Romero and a group of his friends and co-workers pooled their money and resources together to make a horror film. That horror film was Night of the Living Dead and it changed the course of horror forever by ushering in the modern age. George A. Romero celebrates his 71st birthday on February 4th. Mutantiville.com and the Mutantville Players would like to wish Mr. Romero a happy birthday. Mutantville.com would like to award Mr. Romero the Inspirational Filmmaker of the Month award for February 2011 for his influence on and undying dedication to the genre we all love. Thank you for the many amazing movies and here’s to hoping for many more.

Classics Corner: Carnival of Souls.
George A. Romero is often credited with being the godfather of modern horror and rightfully so. However, there is a little known horror film that came out a good six years before Romero’s Night of the Living Dead and served as a big inspiration on Romero’s work - Carnival of Souls.
Carnival of Souls is a creepy, atmospheric horror movie about a woman caught in a traumatic accident who finds herself wandering around a strange abandoned carnival. Carnival of Souls deserves a spot in MVP’s Guerrilla Filmmaker’s Pantheon as both the writer John Clifford and director Herk Harvey waived their earnings on the movie in order to get the film made on a minuscule budget of $17,000. That’s guerrilla filmmaking at it’s finest.
Check out the trailer:
