So I remember watching Land of the Lost on Saturdays as a teenager.
While I was totally underwhelmed with the fx on the show (they did the best they could with stop motion and hand puppets), the writing and storyline where very advanced for a kids show of that era.
And so I found it growing on me.

I am not expecting much from the new movie, but I hope they will at least try to keep the spirit of the show intact.

and I mean I really really thought I had see all the oddball outfits Lynda Carter had to wear on Wonder Woman, but I was wrong…

Just a quick peek at whats going on in here…

Yeah, that’s the title of the short horror film. A big thanks to Jane for helping sound that out.

It’s your regular coming of age story…coming of the age of DEATH TO ALL HUMANS!!!!

Sorry, couldn’t resist. I have been a fan of horror since I can remember.
But the funny thing is, I don’t like most mainstream horror lately.

It’s become…boring.
No real coherent plots, just one death scene after another.

Now, I have known for 20 years that I would be making horror films one day, and now that day is here,
I want to tell the stories that *I* think are scary.
Not Hollywoods version of scary, where I show you tons of fake limbs spraying blood like some Shogun Assassin episode.

No, the worse horror to me is the horror of the mind.
And few people mastered the atmospheric horror like H.P. Lovecraft did.
This short film is my homage to his body of work.

Let me make you wonder whats about to happen, and let your imagination fill in the blanks.
I want to make you feel uncomfortable.
Maybe make you wonder if we are not at the top of the food chain in the universe.

That maybe we were *planted* here.
Waiting to be harvested…

I bet together, we can scare the daylights out of each other.

And for a teaser, here is a glimpse at some of the concept art.

I will have alot more info and exclusive sneak peeks this weekend, so let me know what you think!

Besides getting the pre-production done for the HorrorHouse project (which I have given a new title, to be revealed this week!)
I am currently in post production on a music video.
It’s a very aggressive schedule, but I think we will be able to meet the delivery date.

I don’t want to go into too much detail on this, as the client hasn’t signed off on the final cut yet.
But I just wanted to give you a peek at whats going on.

I have been on a real prop making binge lately.  This is one of the last of the props for the HorrorHouse project.

What we have here is the beginnings of the Cultist Priestess mask.  A little foam board, a sharp knife and here we are.

The sigil design is one from our friends at Propnomicon.

It still needs painting and some more detail, but its a good start so far.

I am expecting to have some more teaser pics ready by the weekend.

I love music. I will give most anything a listen. Now, as to listening to it twice, that’s a whole ‘nother story.
There is not much on the radio I listen too these days, unless its on XM or something like that.

So when I find something new to me, it’s a happy day.
I found the ethereal sounds of Conjure One over the weekend.
I had never heard of him before, but when I found out that he had collaborated with Poe, I was sold.

I love that girl.

Love her.

Her voice is freakin kryptonite.
One of my secret goals is to get her to do a song on one of my films.

I guess what I am saying is, look up Conjure One on whatever music service you like and give them a listen.
Especially on a rainy day.

I know all the horror related projects seem to have gotten the green light around here, but there are still plenty of other things waiting in the wings.

Good times ahead!

So I have been kicking around alot of Lovecraftian imagery lately, and you all know I found some great prop making sites, ( Propnomicon and Propping up the mythos, I am looking at y0u)

So here is my Deep One in a bottle.

You know, I have a pretty amazing wife to let me keep stuff like this on the bedroom shelf…
