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.

Insidious (2011) Review
“It’s not the house that’s haunted!”
That’s the tagline to the new haunted house horror film from the producer of Paranormal Activity and writer and director of SAW – Insidious. James Wan directs this tight little spookshow about a young family trying to cope with the effects of unwanted supernatural presences in their lives.
Be on the lookout for a nice supporting role from ghost assault survivor Barbara Hershey (The Entity) as the supportive mother that calls in the psychic to help out. Insidious pays homage to all of the great haunted house films of the past and keeps the audience jumping and guessing from beginning to end. Streebo gives Insidious a 7 out of 10 on the Streebo Scream-o-meter. Go see it while you can!

“Ghost Trek” Screening a Supernatural Success!
“Trekking those damn ghosts down!”
The Mutantville Players were on hand for a private preview screening of Ghost Trek on Saturday March 26th in Charlotte, North Carolina. Ghost Trek was created by writer/co-director Michael Plumides, author of Kill The Music, as a response to the reality-TV craze. Co-directed and photographed by Robert W. Filion (See The Dead, Tales From Mutantville), Ghost Trek was filmed in December 2010 in various locations around Charlotte. Plumides and his girlfriend Anne Saunders welcomed the cast and crew of Ghost Trek and various special guests to their home for an evening of ghostly entertainment.
Visitors were welcomed by the sight of the Ghost Trek van out front – with the blue ghost lights blazing for all to see. Inside, the guests mingled with cast members such as Michael Melendez, Julia Bullock, Brett Gentile, Kevin Johnson and little Addy Miller of The Walking Dead. Co-directors Michael Plumides and Robert W. Filion oversaw the proceedings and entertained everyone.
After a sizable amount of carousing, the assembled throng was greeted by Plumides who thanked everyone for the support and for coming to the screening and prepared everyone for ghostly things to come. Ghost Trek tells the story of Dr. Zeke Wallace (Michael Melendez) and his PUDS team as they investigate the infamous Kinsey House – the former home and final resting place of child beauty queen Tyler Rae Kinsey (Addy Miller).

Robert W. Filion chosen as Inspirational Filmmaker of the Week!
Mutantville Productions first learned of Robert W. Filion during our epic adventure to take Devil Comes Down to George A. Romero’s American Zombie Film Contest in 2009. During said contest Robert’s movie, See The Dead, went on to sweep his competitors into the grave including MVP’s own Devil Comes Down. Robert reaped the rewards of the contest and MVP was left rubbing our collective bruised egos and has been plotting revenge ever since.
Over the years, MVP has come to know and respect Robert as a man of many talents. Robert follows MVP’s filmmaking philosophy in that he is always ready to do whatever needs to be done to get his movies made whether it’s working as the writer, director, producer, director of photography, editing or doing his own digital FX. Robert is a filmmaker with twenty years of experience and any time he brings his considerable talents to bear it is always worth taking notice. Most recently, See The Dead played at the prestigious Nevermore Film Festival at the Carolina Theatre in Durham, NC.
Robert’s company Image Impact Group has been responsible for countless shorts and films over the years including Lot 66, Chekov’s Children, The Promise Jar and The Parcel. Robert never seems content to create run of the mill horror, instead he always tries to push the boundaries of the art-form technically as well as through the narrative. His films may feature undead, zombies and other sorted beasts of mayhem – but there is always an attempt to marry the surreal or psychological to the narrative.
In a recent interview with Fangoria magazine, Filion states that “I find the scariest place to navigate is my own head. I 
was raised in a military family and never had longterm friends, so I never really fit in, since we moved around a bunch. Though very outgoing, I found the cruelty of children a bit much to take. Even back then, I wrote stories of a fantastical nature and retreated into my own world.” Filion comments that “people are emotionally fragile, and the question I come up with time and again is, what if you push the right buttons?”
Years later, the stars would align as MVP and Filion no longer found themselves at odds, instead teaming to create a new horror anthology entitled Tales From Mutantville. This past October, Robert teamed with Mutantville Productions to shoot three short films back to back. Producer J.T.McRoberts commented on working with Filion by saying that “Robert is an inspiration to work with. He is very professional and possesses a drive and determination to create something new and exciting. He may know how to do everything that needs to be done on a film set from production manager to gaffing and beyond but he never lets work get in the way of having a good time on the set. Working with him was a real blast and I look forward to future collaborations.”
Never one to rest on his laurels, Robert has been keeping busy with projects such as Seeing and is still currently in post-production on Indigo Child for Tales From Mutantville. This weekend he is hosting a private screening of his latest project Ghost Trek. Ghost Trek was developed by writer/co-director Michael Plumides and stars Michael Melendez, Johnny “Fairplay” Dalton, Mikey B. Bartone, Gia Allemonde, Christy Johnson, and Addy Miller (of The Walking Dead).
For his dedication and professionalism to the art and craft of filmmaking, MVP is proud to chose Robert W. Filion as the inspirational filmmaker of the week.
