It was another wild and wooly weekend aboard the Mothership as we wrapped up the final reshoot for G.H.O.S.T. and recorded the last of our foley work as well as completed the final color corrections for the movie. On top of that we made it out to the theater to see The Thing and Halloween is still two weeks away. Scarecrow At Midnight is playing at three different festivals this month and MVP will be working on the set of Robert W. Filion’s Athena with Matthew Ewald and Vanelle all month long. Good times ahead.
This weekend saw the release of a prequel to John Carpenter’s 1982 classic - The Thing – eponymously titled The Thing. The Mutantville Players made the trip to the theaters to check out the film and have returned with the complete rundown for you.

Matthew Ewald and Bones McCoy on the set of Robert W. Filion's Athena.
Welcome back to another wild and whooly edition of Fridays with MVP, oh my faithful mutants. It’s been a crazy month for MVP so far as the Mutantville Players have been deep in the trenches of post-production working on final post for G.H.O.S.T. to get ready for our upcoming private cast and crew screening on October 30th. The footage looks great, the sound is coming along and we’ve just cut a deal with the great Martin Bowes of Attrition to compose the final score for our little supernatural thriller.
We’re super busy this month so there’s little time for updates. We’re going to leave you with a few videos and pics to give you an idea of what’s happening in the world of horror here in North Carolina and beyond while we get back making movie magic – or is that MAJIC! Party on. Make something great. Do the impossible. It’s all within your grasp. This public service announcement has been brought to you by Streebo.

Happy Labor Day, fellow Mutants! I hope you’ve all been enjoying your extended weekend with your friends and family. Here aboard the Mutantville Mothership, we’ve even slowed down production over the weekend to give us all a bit of a breather.
We’ve been working almost non-stop for over two years on several projects and that’s a pace that would wear down even the sturdiest of bionic men. If you’ve been following our progress since the beginning of the year – you’ll know that it’s been a wild and wooly year for the Mutantville Players. Since we’ve passed the mid-year mark for 2011 – we thought we’d share a look back at what 2011 has brought us so far in anticipation for all of the great things to come!

It seems like it was only yesterday but it feels like a lifetime ago that the Mutantville Players were at the Fright Night Film Fest in Kentucky. MVP made the 8 hour trip to meet the Master of Horror John Carpenter – director of Halloween, The Thing, In The Mouth of Madness, Cigarette Burns, and The Ward. Over the course of the weekend our mission was accomplished and we had an amazing time.
Now we want to share our pics of the Fright Night Film Fest and Fandom Fest with you!

The Mutantville Players were on hand this weekend to witness John Carpenter accepting his Lifetime Achievement Award from the Fright Nigh Film Fest in Kentucky. The Master of Horror was honored for a lifetime of dedication to the horror genre as well as for creating such classic works as Halloween, In The Mouth of Madness, Christine, Escape From New York, Big Trouble In Little China, and most recently Cigarette Burns.
We took plenty of pictures and shot tons of interview footage of the event. We chatted with everyone from Jim Kelly to Larry Drake to Addy Miller to a certain man named John . . . Carpenter that is.
MVP would like to send out a big round of thanks to promoter Ken Daniels and Myra Daniels and their crew for putting on not just one – but TWO great shows this year with the Fright Night Film Fest and Fandom Fest. There were a lot of things that happened that were out of their control like the loss of air conditioning and shortage of tables at the convention center but they dealt with it with equanimity and made this past weekend the best con on the East coast so far for 2011!
Videos are forthcoming.

It’s been a very productive week so far with the successful completion of the Muticia’s Movie Morgue segments for Tales From Mutantville. Cast and crew spearheaded by the lovely Vanelle brought the character of Muticia to life. The shoot went very smoothly and we had an absolute blast shooting the scenes. Big thanks to everyone who came out to make it possible – and of course a big thank you goes out to everyone that helped make Tales From Mutantville possible – we couldn’t have done any of it without you!
This weekend we’re still racing to get ready for the big convention next week – the Fright Night Film Fest in Kentucky. We’re prepping shirts, updating websites, completing post-production on Tales From Mutantville and so much more in an effort to be ready for the con. Actually, we’re getting ready for two conventions, because this year promoter Ken Daniels is putting on two great cons for the price of one with the addition of Fandom Fest.
