13 for Halloween - 3

"When Last Seen Alive" is one of my 'movie-level' ideas. I love this as a story - a solid reason for people to remain in a haunted house!

13 for Halloween - 4

"Please Stand By". Total 'Urban Horror'. A secret that only a few know, and drives them crazy.

13 for Halloween - 5

"The Night of the Storm" was, for me, one of those classic 'night terror' haunted stories.

13 for Halloween - 6

"Bzr" addresses that fear of going home - or in this case - working late at night.

13 for Halloween - 7

Continuing with 13 films for Halloween...

"Next Time You'll Know Me". A subtle Lovecraftian - if such a thing can exist. (Terrific performances in this films!)

13 for Halloween - 8

"The Urn" gives sort of Poe-like vibes. Think of an inverse of "The Tell-tale Heart".

13 for Halloween - 9

"Hypothermia". An early, subtly creepy story that tells you from the beginning that it won't end well.

13 for Halloween - 10

"The Hum". Eerie, sort of Lovecraftian.

13 for Halloween - 11

"Presto". A verbal magic trick - with a twist!

13 for Halloween - 12

"Mr. Billabong". Any story that reaches into the past is a tale I like telling.

13 for Halloween - 13

13 of my favorite scary shorts I've done. Starting with "Just Behind You". What do you do at night when someone comes knocking?

You're going to like this one. I promise.

The Process

Whenever I'm casting a film I put the full synopsis of the film in the notice.

Any actor I'm interested in receives the full script for consideration, as well as a link to my reel so they are completely aware of what they are getting involved in. (All the films shown except for one will be available to purchase as a group, probably in January)

Here's a look at my reel:

New Here?

It's a little dated - I now have 14 seasons! - and though the movies ARE rentals, I will be offering all 14 seasons for sale (probably in January), but still, this is a good overview of what you've gotten yourself into!

Password: Dated

Also Returning

This lovely actress will also be returning in the next couple of months in 'So You Will Know We Are Serious', one of my longest titles.

Offer!

I will be bringing back the offer to purchase all 14 seasons for $399. This will probably be in December or January. I received a lot of requests from people who said Patreon for some reason wouldn't accept their cards.

Around the same time or before I'll phase out (for now) the 'Buyer's Club' tier, removing the option for purchasing the movie-of-the-month.

Ooops!

Shot an entire scene with an actor yesterday, then noticed I hadn't plugged the mic jack into the camera. And it wasn't even Friday the 13th yet!

Needless to say we had to redo the scene. I played it off as "the camera didn't capture the sound properly."

I had a sound recordist who worked on 'The Darkest Part of the City' who shot all afternoon with me and forgot to turn on the mic....

Crown

Why is this man wearing a paper crown?

Watch 'The Wretched' in November and find out.

Negotiations

I've got two projects I'm trying to shoot now, so I'm trying to set up shooting schedules and times with actresses. This is the tricky period, where sometimes actors drop out.

Cave

A naked drunk girl dancing around the house? Yeah, that's in 'The Cave', which will be the December movie-of-the-month.

I really like the feel of this film. It's all mood, nothing more. And the actress featured above has repeatedly asked to return for other films, beyond what we've done so far.

Maybe...

Screening

The actors have all screened 'The Wretched' and loved it. Especially the, and I quote one of them, the 'culty' ending.

Something for you to look forward to in November!

Rewards!

Rewards have gone out (based on the info I have now). So check your inboxes (don't forget the junk mail). If you have any problems with links/passwords, as always, just shoot me a message and I'll look into it.

Appropriate photo up above. I'll be working on the film in which I'll include the one clip I have of Dani later this month.

Charges!

My weeks go like this - I shoot during the weekdays (sometimes on weekends), Saturday is date night with my girlfriend, and this time of year, Sunday's are football! However today is the first, so today I'm monitoring Patreon between watching games.

Sometimes Patreon's a little slower on weekends, but hopefully all the charges will be put through by this evening and I'll get rewards out t...

Another Blocking!

This time someone who just signed up decided to make disparaging remarks about the actresses, then went on to try and insult me. And he hadn't even seen any of the films yet!!!

The vast majority of supporters I've found to be good people who really like the films, and what I'm creating here. But there's always those few...

So as I've stated, I'm at the zero tolerance level. Make an ...

Blocked!

So yesterday I had to block a supporter. He contacted me and wanted to know what part of town a particular actress lived in, saying he might want to "drive by" and see if he can run into her. I shouldn't have to say this, but no stalking. That's a crime. No cyber stalking. I'm pushing a zero tolerance here. No derogatory/insulting/lewd comments about the actresses. No weird and overly personal ...

6

Casey and I have worked together 6 times. That's a lot. He was last seen in 'Samhain', and will next be seen in 'The Wretched', something I've been working on lately.

'The Wretched' will utilize some of my Paris footage, as it tells a story that includes the fire that set Notre Dame ablaze.

The List

This is a tentative list of what films are upcoming into 2025. Very, very tentative. Black are finished films, red are unshot, half shot or in editing.

I can't stress tentative enough. I compose this list to try and give myself a pattern of what needs to be finished and by when. The list is highly subject to change. Often I try and make sure films using the same actress aren't back-to-bac...

Opening

One of my favorite opening shots (or near opening shots) in one of my films. Lovely way to introduce a character. From 'The One Safe Place'.

Coin 2

While we're at it, this actress who appears in 'The Coin' shot a second project with me. But, alas, it will never be seen in its entirety, victim of my computer crash. All I have left is a single still from the project. (And that still will appear in an upcoming film, ARG.)

The Future?

I've been thinking about playing around with AI. Not for writing scripts - I'll always write my own scripts with no assistance. But perhaps using AI for special effects - like a dream sequence.

In general I'm not happy about the advent of AI. But that won't change anything. It's like in music, when artists began "sampling" from music of the past. Standing in the middle of the road won't c...
