Hello Gremlins and Ghouls!
I just worked on a film over the weekend that was part of the
BLOODSHOTS 48 HOUR HORROR FILMMAKING CHALLENGE. I did Set Dec, Camera Assist and any other odd jobs that needed doing.
Dave, my boyfriend, wrote and produced the film. We pulled an 18 hour production and filming stretch from 7pm on Friday night to 1pm on Saturday afternoon. It was madness, as the film will demonstrate!
As part of the contest, each team is assigned a horror sub-genre, a murder weapon, a prop, and line of dialogue. Here's what we were given:
Sub-genre:
Backwoods Weapon:
Paper Prop:
BoardgameLine:
"The Monkees are better than the Beatles" The result was our film
"CABIN OF TERROR":
"In the style of the early nineties video board game "Nightmare", our host, the Gatekeeper, leads the viewer through his twisted "Cabin of Terror". You, the game player, must bet on the fates of three not-so-lucky female contestants, while obeying the Gatekeeper's every command on this VHS dubbed in Hell."
