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.
Happy Eat-All-The-Chocolate-That-You-Want Day from MVP!
Welcome back to another edition of Mutantville Monday! It’s a post-Easter Monday so there weren’t a lot of updates from over the weekend. It was one of those rare times when we actually just took a few days off and spent time with our families.

Muticia the Movie Goddess and Mutie are ready to watch some movies in 2012!
Get ready for a Good Friday throwdown with MVP! Welcome back mighty Mutants! It’s time for your end of the week update here at Mutantville.com. We’ve had quite a wild ride since the beginning of the year as we’ve been prepping for as well as promoting everything from the Nevermore Film Festival to the Mad Monster Party to Muticia’s Movie Morgue. We’re catching our breath for a moment before we start the mad rush to our last big convention appearances of the year including Charlotte’s own ConCarolinas and the big Lousiville slugger of a convention – the Fright Night Film Fest and Fandom Fest! By catching our breath that means we’re taking a break from promoting to focus on actual filmmaking.
Last weekend we shot 75% of the first episode of Muticia’s Movie Morgue. We knew going into it with a cast comprised of Vanelle, England Simpson, Patrick Simpson, Mutie the Mutantville Mutant and Todd A. Britt that we were in good hands. Well – maybe putting Todd in front of the camera was a big gamble – but in the end it paid off. He managed to bring his role as the ornery makeup FX artist to believable life. I guess all those years as an ornery makeup FX artist on MVP sets really paid off. Who knew it was method training all along?
The cast and crew of Muticia's Movie Morgue.
Our cast put on a stellar performance backed by a strong and dedicated crew and we managed to put some really fantastic footage in the can. We have but a handful of minor scenes left to shoot before Muticia’s Movie Morgue episode one is ready – starting with a massive shoot next Sunday April 15th as MVP and Muticia’s Movie Morgue unleash ZOMBIE DAY on the unsuspecting masses. We’re meeting in Albemarle again to shoot a really cool skit for the show that features Muticia as a news reporter reporting from the site of the initial zombie outbreak in George A. Romero’s Night of the Living Dead. Grab your kids, drag your wife along and wheel grandma on down to the Mutantville Productions Studios and get lathered in grey greasepaint so you can all spend the day staggering around a cemetery. It’s going to be a wacky day and we need all the zombies we can get so come out and let your inner ghoul out for the day!

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.

Mutantville Productions would like to take a moment of silence to honor the passing of Bill Hinzman the man famous for portraying the first zombie seen in George A. Romero’s Night of the Living Dead. MVP would like to send our sincere condolences to Hinzman’s friends and family.
Welcome to a new blog spot on Mutantville.com called Fanboy Lurker. We’ve decided to share a look at some of the wacky things that happen in the world of fandom. Fanboy Lurker will offer you a weekly look at the best gossip, random news and internet flame wars that you can find this side of the OK Corral.
It’s the darkest day of horror the world has ever known – it’s George A. Romero’s Day of the Dead! In 1969, George A. Romero changed the genre of horror as we know it and the way films are made as we know it with his seminal zombie classic Night of the Living Dead. He followed that up almost a decade later with the now equally important Dawn of the Dead which ushered in an era of gore films. In the 80′s Romero found himself unable to secure the financing he wanted for his third entry in the zombie series and was forced to scale the entire project back.
When Day of the Dead was finally released – fans of his previous two films didn’t know what to make of the bleak nihilistic tale of terror that unfolded before them. With time – Romero’s Day of the Dead has come to be heralded as another classic in a series filled with classics. It’s a personal favorite of the Mutantville Players and we’re happy that someone uploaded it to Youtube so that we could share it with you here.
(Witness the darkest day of horror the world has ever known after the leap!)
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.
This week on Classics Corner, we feature “A Nightmare on Elm Street.” As you all know, this movie starts Robert England as Freddy Krueger. We also get introduced to this young guy, Johnny Depp that goes on to be in a few other films. I still remember being a kid and hearing all the other kids talking about how scary it was. It’s funny how scary it can be to hear others tell you what happened in films. Many times what they think they saw or what happened in their minds are more horrifying than what really happened.
The film also stars John Saxon, Ronee Blakley, Marge Thompson, Heather Langenkamp, Nancy Thompson, Amanda Wyss, Jsu Garcia, Charles Fleischer, Joseph Whipp, Lin Shaye and Joe Unger.
So…how did Nightmare on Elm Street effect you? Do you still remember the first time you saw it? Please leave comments below! Thanks!
