No you didn’t misread the title. It does indeed say Stanley Kubrick Saturday. Last night, Streebo made the pilgramage out to Retrofantasma at the Carolina Theatre to see Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining in 35mm.
To honor this momentous event in which Streebo experienced his first Stanley Kubrick theatrical viewing with a packed theater – we are changing Scary Movie Saturday to Stanley Kubrick Saturday for one day! Ironically – we’re going to feature a Stanley Kubrick film that he didn’t get the chance to direct. He did however produce the movie and design it before handing it over to Steven Spielberg.
Stanley Kubrick circa Eyes Wide Shut
Spielberg initially refused to direct the project feeling unworthy of directing a Stanley Kubrick film. After Kubrick passed in 1999, Spielberg took up the task of seeing A.I. through to completion in honor of his friend. So that leads us to today.
Streebo got to experience the glory of The Shining in 35mm last night so we’re going to celebrate with some Kubrick today. I couldn’t find any other Stanley Kubrick films posted on Youtube so A.I. it is. In true guerrilla filmmaking spirit we’ve tied it all together to honor the occasion.
Here’s to the greatest filmmaker of all time – Stanley Kubrick. This is A.I.Artificial Intelligence on Stanley Kubrick Saturday!
It’s time for another Monday morning Mutantville Player roll call! Streebo! Geo! Brento! Toddo! No wait that’s not right. I think he’s Mega-Todd or Dr.Savini or something like that but it breaks the name-plus-o convention that we have going. Anyway – we’re all here and accounted for after another long hard weekend making the best in genre entertainment that the Planet Earth has to offer.
When I hold up my Majic Spyglass I can see all the Mutants sitting at home with us. I see Kathy and Catherine. Jason and Dave. There’s Super-K and Angela. Oh – I see Kayli and Meghan and Janice and Ruff. Hey – there’s Kat and Matthew and I even see you! Looks like we’re all accounted for.
Now let’s strap in and put our bits in place because the Mutantville Mothership is about to blast off. We’re headed for the five oblong corners of the Internet and there’s no coming back. Since it’s easy to get lost along the way – here’s your Mutantville Signal Watch with built in Quantum Compass to help you no matter which plane of existence that you find yourself currently residing. Here. We. GO!!!

Arri Lights- I'll take that one and that one and...
I’ve been thinking about what to focus on this week. After filming this weekend, I am thinking about lighting…so…here are some film lighting tips from various blogs and YouTube. Hope you find these useful!
Evil Dead 2: Dead By Dawn on Scary Movie Saturday.
Last week, we featured Army of Darkness aka Evil Dead 3 on Scary Movie Saturday – so we thought what better movie to follow that up with than the movie that came before it - Evil Dead 2: Dead By Dawn! (watch the full movie after the leap!)
MacReady like Streebo surveys the wreckage of the prequel fallout.
In the interest of being fair and balanced like Fox News here aboard the Mutantville Mothership I thought we would take a look at some more reviews for the prequel to John Carpenter’s 1982 classic The Thing. I posted my review of The Thing (2011) here and on Youtube and have been fielding comments from across the web about the film ever since. It is interesting to note that not everyone shares my enthusiasm about the film. In the interest of showing all sides of horror fandom, I’ve decided to share some comments from the trolls and haters that I’ve gathered from across the internet.

Welcome to the first edition of Streeborama here on the MVP Blog! This week, we’re experimented with making actual personal blog posts for a change to give you all a feel for the individual voices here on the Mutantville Mothership. I decided that I’m a bit tired of writing up articles all the time so I figured I’d just shoot a v-log and post that instead – so that’s exactly what I did.
The next thing I know, it’s approaching midnight and I’m doing fine edits on G.H.O.S.T. at the same time that I’m editing this v-log. How that happened I have no idea but it had to be done. So sit back – turn on the old Youtube and fire up Streebo’s V-log to learn all the latest happenings with Tales From Mutantville, G.H.O.S.T. and the MVP Blog – here on Mutantville.com.
This week on Scary Movie Saturday we’re bringing you a classic work from Mario Bava – Black Sunday! Black Sunday is the definitive 60′s Gothic horror film starring Scream Goddess Barbara Steele and featuring a chilling opening sequence and stark painterly black and white compositions throughout. True fans of the horror genre need no explanation for this one as Mario Bava is revered far and wide and here on the Mutantville Mothership he holds a lofty position amongst the Patron Saints of Guerrilla Filmmaking.
Welcome back to Fridays with MVP, oh faithful Mutants. It’s been another wild and chaotic week on the Mutantville Mothership where we’ve been hard at work on several projects in various stages of productions including Muticia’s Movie Morgue, Indigo Child, Scarecrow At Midnight, Tales From Mutantville, The Metatron Files and G.H.O.S.T. In world horror news, Fright Night(2011) and Conan The Barbarian performed poorly at the box office while Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark is poised to surprise everyone this weekend.
Scarecrow At Midnight will be a part of the Tales From Mutantville horror anthology coming soon to DVD and Blu Ray!
Our good friend B. Jr. over at Endurance Productions has been kind enough to share an unboxing video with everyone. We recently shipped B. Jr. a screener for Scarecrow At Midnight to review for his show so he decided to do an unboxing video as well. Check out Endurance Productions and B. Jr.’s Movie Cave over at Youtube as he has tons of great content with movie reviews, unboxing videos, collectibles discussions and more – all at the click of a mouse button. Continue Reading…

We’re one week away from this year’s Fright Night Film Fest where the guest of honor is none other than the Master of Horror himself – John Carpenter! There is a remake of Carpenter’s monster classic The Thing waiting in the wings – but we all know that there is no way it can rival the majesty and ferocity of Carpenter’s 1982 film. MVP thought we should cleanse the palate of bad horror by revisiting the original – remake that is.
John Carpenter’s nihilistic paranoia fueled monsterama splattered it’s way across movie screens in 1982 and left both audiences and critics shaking in fear and bewilderment. It was the summer of E.T. The Extra-terrestrial and the public wanted fuzzy, family friendly aliens. What they got with Carpenter’s reworking of Howard Hawks’ classic The Thing From Another World – was cold, humorless, and as vicious as a rabid pit-bull. The movie was almost universally panned and performed abysmally at the box office.
It wasn’t until years passed by that audiences gained appreciation in hindsight and began proclaiming John Carpenter’s The Thing a masterpiece. Today, you can support John Carpenter by watching his latest horror film – The Ward - playing in theaters and VOD sometime this weekend.
