Mutie the Mutantville Mutant rocks the cashbah with some undead friends on the set of Muticia's Movie Morgue.
Welcome back to another edition of Mutantville Mondays here on Mutantville.com! It’s been a wild and wooly 2012 for MVP so far as we’ve been everywhere from the Nevermore Film Festival to the Mad Monster Party and have been working on building the final DVDs for not one – but two MVP projects G.H.O.S.T. and Tales From Mutantville – in addition to prepping for the Metatron Files webseries and shooting the first episode of Muticia’s Movie Morgue. Whew. Did you get all of that? Well don’t worry – we’ll continue to remind you each day.
Welcome back for another edition of Fridays with MVP on Mutantville.com. It’s been another busy week of post-production as the Mutantville Players have been busy with post-production in a race to get several films ready for the upcoming Nevermore Film Festival in Durham. MVP was fortunate enough to have our slasher short film Scarecrow At Midnight play at the Nevermore Festival earlier this year and we are hoping that one or more of our new films makes the cut for next year.
In G.H.O.S.T. news – the HD conversion has been a source of many headaches during post-production – but we’re still working hard to get it all to come together. Meanwhile in England, Martin Bowes is hard at work on the original new score for MVP’s full length Gothic horror. The final plans for the premiere are coming together so look for an announcement from MVP soon.
MVP is hosting a night at the movies with indie cinema tonight as Kristopher Rufty screens his latest release RAGS on the Mutantville Mothership. RAGS stars the always lovely Vanelle as a backsliding addict that sets out on a mission of revenge. Keep watching Mutantville.com for exclusive photos and reports from the screening.

The Mutantville Players had the honor of meeting John Carpenter at the recent Fright Night Film Fest in Kentucky. We made the eight hour plus trip out to Louisville to talk to one of our filmmaking idols and one of the true Masters of Horror and it was well worth it. Carpenter has largely been absent from the horror world over the past decade – appearing long enough to participate in the Masters of Horror experiment on Showtime and also acting as a consultant for the F.E.A.R. series of video games on XBOX – so fans such as myself are happy to see him out promoting his latest effort The Ward at conventions and festivals across the country.
On Saturday at the event, Carpenter accepted questions directly from the crowd and MVP was there. No need to worry if you couldn’t make the trip – we’ve recorded it and uploaded it to the Mutantville Players Youtube account for you to enjoy. So – enjoy!
In 2002, Neil Marshall exploded onto the scene with a wild werewolf movie called Dog Soldiers. 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.
Welcome back to Mutantville Mondays my lovely mutants! We’re still terribly busy aboard the Mutantville Mothership so there’s little time for updates. In case you have been under a rock on the moon for the past week, the Mutantville Players just returned from the Fright Night Film Fest and Fandom Fest in Louisville, Kentucky. To celebrate we’ve decided to launch the new Mutantville Productions fanpage on Facebook.
Facebook changed the rules on groups over the past few months so we’ve decided that the fanpage is the best operation model for Facebook. To that end, we’re giving you one place to go on Facebook when you need to know about MVP. We’re doing our best to give you one stop horror and science fiction shopping no matter where you are on the worldwide-web. Be sure to “like” the new fanpage because we’re going to be loading it with more videos and exclusive interviews than a bantha can carry!
NC CHARLOTTE FILM COMMUNITY NEWS!!!
Last weekend at the Fright Night Film Fest in Kentucky with guest of honor John Carpenter in attendance, North Carolina’s own Ghost Trek won the Corman Award for Best Comedy 2011. MVP would like to send out a round of congratulations to the Ghost Trek crew helmed by Michael Plumides, Robert W. Filion and Anne Saunders. For more information on Ghost Trek please visit the official Facebook fanpage.
We had another productive weekend aboard the Mutantville Mothership. Streebo spent most of the week doing fine edits on the assembly of G.H.O.S.T. Friday night, Streebo and Brent had a marathon poster designing session which resulted in the creation of not one – but two new one sheets for SCARECROW AT MIDNIGHT. Sunday, Streebo and composer Alex Maudlin met to discuss the progress on the score for SCARECROW AT MIDNIGHT. The premiere of SCARECROW AT MIDNIGHT is just around the corner. Be sure to buy your tickets for the Twelfth Annual Nevermore Film Festival now.
Meanwhile, in the Horror World:
Rumors abound that there is a sequel in the works for Michele Saovi’s cult classic DELLAMORTE DELLAMORE aka CEMETARY MAN.
Steve Niles’ (writer of 30 DAYS OF NIGHT) take on Frankenstein, WAKE THE DEAD, has been optioned by none other than legendary guitarist Slash!
The most interesting news coming out of Sundance this week is that Kevin Smith (CLERKS, MALLRATS, COP OUT) is taking his horror film – RED STATE – on the road! That’s right, Kevin Smith plans to distribute RED STATE himself – allowing the movie to play in select cities across the nation.
The script to a proposed EVIL DEAD remake is supposedly making the rounds on producer Rob Tapert’s desk.
Saw 3D makes the leap to DVD as SAW: THE FINAL CHAPTER.
Speaking of SAW, the first clip from SAW creator James Wan’s new film INSIDIOUS, has hit the net.
Be sure to check out Streebo’s review of the theatrical version of SAW 3D on Youtube:

Since the horror world was stunned by the amazing news that the uncut version of Nightbreed has not only been found – but will be screened at the upcoming Horrorhound convention in Indianapolis – what better time to show our love for Clive Barker by revisiting a few of his interviews from years gone by?
