Nevermore Film Festival 2011 with Silence of the Lambs (1991)
Thank Muticia it’s Fridayyyyyyyy!!! Welcome back to another edition of Fridays with MVP! We’ve had another action packed week here at Mutantville.com so sit back, buckle in and chomp on your bit because we’re taking off!
To recap the past week, we didn’t make it into Nevermore, but we did get accepted to ConCarolinas. Post-production is wrapping up on G.H.O.S.T. and Tales From Mutantville both of which will appear on DVD soon. The Nevermore Film Festival is next month and no doubt they will have a stellar lineup. I know already that Ti West’s Innkeepers is playing and I’ve heard nothing but good things about it. One month later, Mad Monster Party hits Charlotte and there are a lot of great events planned for it some of which have yet to be revealed – but I’ve heard things. . .
Congratz to our buddies Robert W. Filion, Michael Sharpe and Christopher G. Moore who all had films accepted into Nevermore this year! I’m sure that Dummy, Deviling and Flush With Fear will help make for a very strong short film lineup. I look forward to seeing them all on Saturday. Of course you know this means war. . .
Ok – enough about them. Let’s talk more MVP. But first – the leap!!! Continue Reading…
If you’re a fan of horror then you’re more than likely a fan of the fantastic music that accompanies our favorite horror flicks. According to legend when John Carpenter showed his final cut of Halloween without the music to his producers – everyone thought the movie was horrible. One classic Carpenter score later – and Halloween became an instant classic!
If you just can’t get enough great horror scores – then check out the vintage Canadian Ferox episodes featuring music in horror where your hosts Jdog and the Changeling play classic tracks from your favorite horror flicks and discuss each one. Unfortunately Canadian Ferox is no more – but you can still download their shows from the archive. What are you waiting for? Get to listening or get to dying!!
Youtube user HORRORZone666999 has posted a four part video series featuring his picks for the top twenty horror film scores of all time! Featured scores include The Omen, Hellraiser, The Burning, IT, Silence of the Lambs, A Nightmare on Elm Street and many more! If you’re a fan of horror scores – then these vids are for you!

Last week at Nevermore Film Festival at the Carolina Theatre in Durham, we saw “Silence of the Lambs” on the big screen! It was the first time I’d seen it in a theatre and I heard some sounds I didn’t hear on my not so big television at home. I’d forgotten that Roger Corman made an appearance in the films as well. Anthony Hopkins is so awesome in this film.
I found the trailer, some interviews, some reviews and other cool information about “Silence of the Lambs.” Enjoy!
It’s Oscar weekend, so it seems timely to revisit one of the Academy’s most unique Best Picture choices: Jonathan Demme’s The Silence of the Lambs. Even after many uses of its famous scenes in montages, clips, and parodies, …

Scarecrow At Midnight premiered at the 12th Annual Nevermore Film Festival at the Carolina Theatre in Durham on Saturday February 19th. The neo-modern scarecrow slasher flick played to a raucus crowd that seemed to yell and jump at all the right places. The film played as part of the short film block entitled “When the Stars Begin to Fall” and was accompanied by several fantastic shorts such as The Devil’s Toy, Davis, Last Seen on Delores Street, Written By, Murderabilia, and See The Dead.
Attendees of the premiere included writer/director J.T.McRoberts, star Katie Bearden, as well as several other members of the cast and crew such as Robert W. Filion, Julian Safrit, Janice Mitchell Wyatt, Meg Elliot, Lisa Cobb, Todd A. Britt, Meghan King, Brent Bowers, Geo Swanko, Coty Galloway, Jeremy Bonham and associate producer Jason Arispe. Kenny Caperton, proprietor of the Myers House NC, was also in attendance and was as thrilled as the rest of the cast to see the movie and his house on the big screen. According to the Carolina Theatre – attendance for the festival was estimated to have suprassed the previous year’s event.
The cast and crew roamed the halls of the Carolina Theatre talking to the fans and enjoying the Nevermore Festival. The cast raved about how much fun they had working on the film and the hilarity continued as the group goofed around after the premiere. Director J.T.McRoberts led everyone on a slasherthon to follow up on the terrors of Scarecrow At Midnight by then watching Friday the 13th and Silence of the Lambs in 35mm.
One fan stated that Scarecrow At Midnight reminded him of the classic Goosebumps tale The Scarecrow Walks At Midnight, “except that it (Scarecrow At Midnight) was about a thousand times more terrifying.” Other compliments were passed along to the cast and crew on several aspects of the film from the performances of the cast to the quality of the special make-up effects. Director J.T. McRoberts stated that “having the opportunity to have our movie play at this festival was a dream come true and to have the crowd react in such a positive manner makes it all worth it. This is the only reward a filmmaker needs and I would like to thank the Carolina Theatre for making it possible.”
Scarecrow At Midnight will be available along with the other shorts Indigo Child, Family Fiend, Devil Comes Down, and Respawner the Web Series: Pilot Episode in the Tales from Mutantville anthology collection on DVD and Blu Ray this summer.

This weekend, the Mutantville Players are heading to Durham and the Carolina Theatre for the Twelfth Annual Nevermore Film Festival. This year’s Nevermore will consist of nine new independent horror films, three classics, and fifteen short fillms from filmmakers across the country – including the Carolinas! Mutantville.com is proud to announce that the first installment of the Tales From Mutantville collection – Scarecrow At Midnightwill premiere during the event.
Over the years, Nevermore has played such cult hits as Bubba Ho Tep, Monster Man, My Little Eye, Night of the Demons, Witchboard, Abbott & Costello Meet Frankenstein and many more. This year’s lineup consists of an array of films from horror classics such as Friday the 13th, Sam Raimi’s Darkman, and the Academy Award winning Silence of the Lambs as well as new indie features like Unaware, Rubber, El Monstro Del Mar, Vanishing on 7th Street, Black Death, and Mold! Nevermore will also play host to no less than fifteen short films consisting of the aforementioned Scarecrow At Midnight, Bursters, The Writer, Alice Jacobs Is Dead, and even the winner of George A. Romero’s American Zombie Film Contest – Robert W. Filion’s See The Dead!
J.T.McRoberts, writer/director of Scarecrow At Midnight, expressed his enthusiam about the festival by stating that “I look forward to Nevermore every year. I keep my ear to the ground in the fan community and people are often complaining that horror is dead or that mainstream horror is all about remakes. Well if you just take the time to look around, one can find great horror everywhere and the Nevermore Film Festival is a testament to that. They’re playing nine new independent horror films from across the globe and there’s not a single remake in the bunch. I feel blessed as a fan to have a place like the Carolina Theatre nearby that keeps horror alive in North Carolina. To have one of my short films play there is a real honor.”
Scarecrow At Midnight and Robert W. Filion’sSee The Dead will be playing in the short film block entitled “When the Stars Begin to Fall” on Saturday the 19th at NOON and again on Sunday the 20th at 2:10pm.
