MVP goes to Prison on Scary Movie Saturday!

In honor of our good friends at Exploited Cinema who first turned us on to Renny Harlin’s low budget debut Prison and who may in fact be nearing the end of their tenure as we know them. Change isn’t always a bad thing and is often required for more good to come so we wish Jdog and Bat32 nothing but success in their personal and professional lives. The boys had a greasy good ride and to that the Mutantville Players tip our hats. Thanks for keeping it greasy fellas.

Speaking of Renny Harlin and his low budget adventures, here’s a quote from wikipedia:
Harlin moved to the U.S. where he was initially put to work directing low-budget horror movies, but commercial success was soon to follow. In 1988, Irwin Yablans of Empire Pictures hired him to direct Viggo Mortensen, Chelsea Field and Lane Smith in the low-budget horror film Prison filmed at a former state prison in Rawlins, Wyoming.[9] That same year Robert Shaye of New Line Cinema, after some initial doubts, hired him to direct another low-budget horror film, A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master, which became the highest grossing independent film at that time by earning $49 million in the US. Harlin cameos in the film as a student while a publicity poster for Prison can be seen in the background of a scene in a movie theatre.

Party Girl (2009) gets party started on Scary Movie Saturday!

Welcome back to another edition of Scary Movie Saturday aboard the Mothership. It’s been a busy week on the Mutantville Mothership as we’ve been working on so many projects that it becomes a real game of juggling to keep them all going. On top of shooting the first episode of Muticia’s Movie Morgue and finishing post on both the DVDs for G.H.O.S.T. and Tales From Mutantville we have kept the promotional train going with recent interviews with regional filmmakers such as Ken Comito and the Ghost Trek crew. I’m looking at a stack of indie horror movies that I’m reviewing this week and I thought you know what some of these would make great features for Scary Movie Saturday. And then I saw Party Girl and thought it was perfect. This is the indie flick for the grease fiend in you.

Check out the trailer below:

Clive Barker and the Uncanny Horror of Streeborama.

It comes as little surprise to long time Mutantville Players to hear that Clive Barker is Streebo’s favorite horror storyteller.  Clive Barker’s work was an influence on me long before I ever realized that I was a true fan and horror geek.  Perhaps this influence started with Hellraiser II: Hellbound as I was lucky enough to join a friend who had advance passes to see the movie in the theater.

Hellraiser II: Hellbound would mark only my second venture into horror at the movies and boy did I pick a crazy movie as my sophomore viewing.   My mind was simply overwhelmed by the mix of occult madness, flayed villains, otherworldly Cenobites and a near endless variety of unpleasant people committing atrocities on themselves and others.  I did not know then but from that moment on I was irrevocably hooked on horror.

Later that same year, I would finally see the original Hellraiser on VHS at a friend’s house.  Despite the fact that there is less time spent in the otherworld in Barker’s directorial effort – I found Hellraiser to be much more disturbing than it’s sequel.  The perverse love triangle between Julia, Frank and Larry AND the Cenobites if you want to take it that far got under my skin in a way that standard stalk and slash fare could not. The body mutilation and the S&M subculture that is seen in the film also represented a darker set of desires for Barker’s characters than that of the typical teenage babysitter fare.

New Year’s Mutantville Evil on Fridays With MVP!!!

Welcome back to another edition of Fridays With MVP! Last Friday night the Mutantville Mothership played host to The Night The Mutants Stole Christmas when MVP screened the completed Tales From Mutantville to a raucous Christmas crowd. Although the Muticia linking segments have yet to be finalized the anthology came across quite well.

There was plenty of cheer, snacks and movies to go around. We started the show with a screening of the classic Christmas episode of Tales From The Crypt entitled “All Through The House.” After that, we plowed through a few classic trailers such as Jack Frost 2, Silent Night Deadly Night 2 and Cheerleader Camp Massacre. Next, everyone was treated to the first private screenings of Indigo Child and Family Fiend as well as enjoying the festival seasoned Scarecrow At Midnight. We rounded out an evening of holiday cheer by watching a classic Monstervision with Joe Bob Briggs hosting Joe Dante’s 80′s classic Gremlins.

Thank you to everyone for coming out to join us. It was great to see you all and share our work with you. Thank you to all of the Mutantville Players out there that have made our projects possible over the years. We wouldn’t have made it this far without you and for that we shall be forever grateful.

Thank you all for being part of a great 2011 – and here’s to an even more amazing 2012. We hope to see you all there!

Happy New Year, MVP.
