Hello all,
I just dusted off this ancient relic from 2004--yes, 2004! It's the original concept for the story that came to be called town. It's another bygone example of me hounding my friends into participating in my grimy weekend movie adventures. After I put this together back in the day, I realized that a prose version was somewhat necessary to fill in certain blanks, and that’s how Knifepoint Horror was eventually born.
This bootleg version of the story was called Apparition Theater. I recall that there was no script, nothing written down, just a few dudes trying to invent dialogue based on my vague suggestions before we got too cold or bored. The property where the grandfather lives in this movie was used for virtually EVERY PROJECT we shot back then. No one with a cheapo camera and zero dollars can resist abusing an accessible house with expansive acreage (it was rented for years by my friend Brian, who plays the film producer Richard Rolling), so it appeared in flick after flick (this is one of the very few that are still kinda watchable).
For this fabulous 16TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION, I've done what I can to improve the video and audio, but hoo boy, years of freaky VHS degradation and poor storage choices have wreaked some serious havoc! Gee, sometimes it feels like a $100 budget just isn't enough to compete with the studios....
This leads nicely into an OFFICIAL HOLIDAY CONTEST! I've unearthed three more copies of the Knifepoint Horror graphic novel, so use the Comments section to let me know your favorite black and white horror movie and I'll enter you into a random drawing for one of them! I'll pick three names next week... stay tuned...
