You heard about our plans for CHEERLEADER CAMP ELIMINATION last year. Those were followed through on, and shooting has come and gone. Directed by Julie Anne Prescott, starring Jessa Flux (MURDERCISE) along with a whole new gaggle of cheerleaders – or should we say cheer bleeders! The shoot went mostly smoothly, with just as much fun and hijynx behind the scenes as went down on camera (just minus sharp instruments!). I say “mostly” because invariably, hiccups can interrupt shooting, and elements out of your control like sunlight are sometimes not your friend. So, the production team are running a campaign to go back to the campsite and get some vital footage to smooth out the final product. Here’s the skinny:

This is for finishing funds to do a 1-2 day pickup shoot for additional footage. The film is shot, but we would like to be able to clean up a few scenes, and extend a couple sequences with our cast and crew to make it even better! The funds will be used for the location, food, travel/flights, talent pay, and to replace or repair some of the props/wardrobe for re-use. We also have an actress that was unable to come out on the first shoot that we would like the opportunity to bring out for this mini pickup shoot.

You would be making the film bigger and better, helping us to make it 100% with perfected shots, and to add in these additions that we have found after reviewing our footage from the initial shoot. This film has distribution already, and you will get to be a part of it with the very grateful cast and crew,  along with everyone who is looking forward to seeing the finished project (including hopefully yourselves)!

From what I’ve seen both publicly and privately, this one’s shaping up to be another wild mix of comedy and horror bordering on the outrageous. There was a concentrated effort not to just repeat the previous movie. This one is more along the lines of BRING IT ON meets BATTLE ROYALE but with the mix of babes and murderous mascots you’ve come to know and love. As the existing footage will be already edited, upon shooting these extra scenes it will be on the fast express to release! To whet your appetite, here is a prototype cover, which would match nicely with your copy of Cheerleader Camp 2 The Death on DVD.

I must really love you guys, after all my idea of a good time on Christmas Day is organizing this SILENT NIGHT BLOODY NIGHT 3 preview clip for you! Hopefully I don’t wake up tomorrow in a Jigsaw trap heeding ominous warnings to “cherish my life” but… I know there are plenty of you out there waiting to see the new movie. Watch through to the end and discover the official title of this sequel!

As far as death scenes go, this is one of the more atmospheric ones, harkening back to the gothic holiday atmosphere of the original 1972 film! The rest of Will & Julie’s movie is a wild, splatterific affair probably well-at-home with the balls to the wall insanity of Troma flicks! Which works out well considering Lloyd Kaufman himself signed up to partake in the movie in a zany acting capacity, having previously produced the very first movie in the series! Welcome back, Lloyd!

While it would have been absolutely great to release this movie for Xmas, it is simply not ready to do so. These movies take a while longer than normal and aren’t just crapped out indie no-budgeters. They fit into an overall plan for the series that will make more sense with each subsequent chapter. Each of them has a completely different flavor, like ice-cream, while presenting a continuous storyline of a now 50 year+ generational saga. Hopefully, it won’t be too long until this is released. Or plans for the next chapters announced, for that matter!

The day is finally here – almost a whole year since our initial announcement and call for entries, AMITYVILLE APOCALYPSE has come to completed fruition and is now available for purchase through our store. We just dropped the trailer two days prior to release, so if you haven’t indulged in its ridiculousness you can do that right now by clickety-clicking on play:

So, why should you buy this movie when it’s just the latest in an almost limitless amount of AMITYVILLE movies dumped onto the oversaturated marketplace? Well, that’s kind of the point. Everyone who took part in making this was either a fan – or a critic. Eventually the bubble is going to burst on these movies, so as a distributor we wanted to do our part to actually speed that up – hence the 20 new mini-sequels with ever-increasing absurd titles and concepts, essentially crossing them off the board.

If that stone cold logic doesn’t work on you, then we just have two words: AMITYVILLE HOUSECAT!
