This time out on Trailer Park Tuesday – we’re featuring one of the local indie horror directors – Michael Sharpe. Many of you will know Michael from his time in front of the camera in such genre favorites as Devil’s Crossing and MVP’s own Scarecrow At Midnight but for Deviling – he stayed behind the camera. Michael Sharpe wrote and directed Deviling which stars Robert Haulbrook, Jodi Essex, and Tommy Allen Taylor in a dark and disturbing character study.
Scary Movie Saturdays comes to Stellarcon 35 with Respawner! The Mutantville Players were live and in living color this weekend at the Stellarcon 35 convention in High Point, North Carolina. MVP was on hand to spread the good word of horror to the fans in attendance.
The Mutantville Players screened a fantastic selection of independent horror films including Milton, Bursters, Devil Comes Down, The Promise Jar, and the trailers for Be There In Ten and G.H.O.S.T. There was a short Q&A session between films and it all led up to the special sneak preview screening of Respawner: The Web Series Pilot. Fans in attendance said the experience was just “awesome.”
Mutantville Productions would like to thank everyone that came out to support the screening as well as to Davey and his volunteers hosting the Stellarcon 35 convention.
Included on the evening’s playlist was Robert W. Filion’s The Promise Jar. It’s a very Lovecraftian short film with a tightly packed three minute run time. It is available for viewing right now on Vimeo! Wait are you waiting for? It’s Stellarcon 35 weekend! The movie is scary. And most of all – it’s free! It’s Scary Movie Saturday!
Mutantville Productions is headed back to the set this week as the new shooting schedule for “G.H.O.S.T.” begins in earnest! Principle photography was completed in November, pick ups were filmed over December, and the first assembly was completed over the winter holiday. After the first cut came in at a healthy 47 minute run time – producers Brent Bowers, Geo Blalock and writer/director J.T. McRoberts decided to invest in shooting some new scenes to expand the short film into a full length feature. After weeks of heavy work on the script for new scenes – the pieces are set in motion and MVP is on it’s way back to the set.
This week – we stop at a local bookstore where the fans will have a chance to meet and greet the one and only G.B. Cunningham from “G.H.O.S.T. “ Actors Dave Tunik and Davis Osborne are excited to head back to the set to bring the new scene to life. Filming on these additional scenes will continue through the few months and is expected to conclude in April. Keep watching Mutantville.com for your up to the minute MVP news!

The energy is high on the Mutantville Mothership as the producers of MVP meet tonight to review the first assembly of G.H.O.S.T.. G.H.O.S.T. was originally proposed as a five minute short for the Chiller Dare to Direct contest – but was expanded in a longer 30 minute short film. The first cut of G.H.O.S.T. came in at a unexpected 47 minutes. Everyone is so pleased with what we have so far – that we are excited about the possibility of expanding G.H.O.S.T. into a full length feature with an approximate run time of 70 minutes. Tonight we will discuss what works or doesn’t work in the first cut as well as going over the visual FX needed and possible approaches to the score. We will also have our final discussion on the new scenes to be filmed to lengthen the movie before locking them into a new version of the script. What a long strange trip it’s been – and we’re only getting started!
