Mugworth Productions has launched an Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign to raise money for their latest production, a horror anthology titled Zombificador. Supporters can donate anywhere from $1 to $5,000. Perks include producer credits, limited edition Blu-rays, autographed posters and scripts, memorabilia and even an appearance the movie. All contributors are also invited to appear in a DVD featurette.Upon successfully securing the funding, iconic filmmaker Herschell Gordon Lewis has agreed to return to the director’s chair for Zombificador.

Now he’s ready to create what promises to be his bloodiest movie ever!
Lewis will direct from a script written by Marc Fernandez. Zombificador is an old-fashioned anthology movie with five interconnecting stories.

The movie will utilize traditional, practical special effects.Genre favorites Bill Moseley (The Devil’s Rejects, Repo! The Genetic Opera), Michael Berryman (The Hills Have Eyes, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest) and Todd Farmer (My Bloody Valentine, Jason X) are attached to star in the film. Other recognizable faces are in talks to be involved.
With a great filmmaker, script and cast all in place, the only thing missing from Zombificador is funding. Production will begin as soon as financing is in place, so bid generously at igg.me/at/zombificadorFollow Zombificador on Twitter and Facebook for updates on the crowd funding campaign and the film.

Horror Convention Documentary FANTASM Now In Production
Fantasm, a new documentary about horror conventions and the tight-knit community of fans who attend them, is currently in production under the direction of Kyle Kuchta.
Kyle Kuchta has a self-proclaimed obsession with horror films. Upon discovering the phenomenon of horror conventions, the young genre fanatic finally felt like a part of a community. He connected with like-minded individuals with whom he shares his love for the genre. Now he’s traveling to conventions all across America to find out why horror brings people together.
In addition to legions of devoted fans, the documentary will feature insight from iconic actors and filmmakers. Interview subjects who have already participated in Fantasm include Heather Langenkamp (A Nightmare on Elm Street, New Nightmare), Tom Atkins (Halloween III, Escape from New York), Joe Lynch (Chillerama, Wrong Turn 2), Amanda Wyss (A Nightmare on Elm Street) and more.
Fantasm began as aspiring filmmaker Kyle Kuchta’s thesis in pursuit of his film degree from Syracuse University’s College of Visual and Performing Arts. “I wanted to do a documentary on horror conventions,” he explains, “because I didn’t feel as if a lot of people knew about them or the loving community that they are a part of.”
The documentary was partially funded via Kickstarter. Further proving the enthusiastic support of the horror community, the project reached its goal in just eleven days. The 21-year-old Kuchta is currently working as a one-man film crew, serving as director, camera operator, interviewer and editor, among other duties.
Production will continue in March at the upcoming Monster-Mania in Cherry Hill, NJ and HorrorHound Weekend in Cincinnati, OH. Filming has previously taken place at such fan-favorite conventions as Monster-Mania (Hunt Valley, MD), Rock and Shock (Worcester, MA), Spooky Empire (Orlando, FL) and HorrorHound Weekend (Indianapolis, IL). The documentary is expected to be completed in May 2013.

The Hunger Games hype
The tagline for the movie is pretty catchy, I must admit! I certainly hope the movie lives up to the substantial amount of talk it has generated! I probably won’t get to see it this weekend, though. This would be the perfect opportunity for a guest review! =) *hinthint*
I swear if all these thousands of people lined up for the midnight showing see a debacle on the level of Pluto Nash, the armageddon may come sooner than predicted. And I will laugh. so. hard. I’d like to see this, and like I said, it had better live up to the hype. The books are pretty good! Remember kids, most movies come from books, and few movies are as good (or better) than the books. Imagination is how the old timers got by. Kids today are lazy! LAZY. But watching screens is easier than staring at musty, yellow pages in a well-used tome.
/rantover, enjoy the movie – but you should already be in the theater by now! If you are in the theater reading this – TURN OFF YOUR PHONE YOU SACK OF SQUID!

Prometheus
Director Ridley Scott looks to amaze the Sci-Fi Thriller world again with Prometheus. As any good Sci-fi fan knows, Scott is the man responsible for classics such as Alien and Blade Runner.
The plot follows the crew of the spaceship Prometheus in the year 2085, as they explore an advanced alien civilization in search of the origins of humanity. Conceived as a prequel to Scott’s 1979 science fiction horror film Alien, rewrites developed a separate story that precedes the events of Alien, but which is not directly connected to the films in the Alien franchise. According to Scott, though the film shares “strands of Alien’s DNA, so to speak”, and takes place in the same universe, Prometheus will explore its own mythology and ideas. – Wikipedia excerpt
It looks pretty damn awesome to me. It’s been filmed entirely in 3D, and quite frankly looks fantastic just judging by the visuals in the trailer. I don’t think you should pass this film up when it comes out this summer! Who’s ready for some fantastic, three dimensional face-lovin’?
Release Date: June 8, 2012 (USA) Be there or be square.

The Admiral is gone!
Pirates of the Caribbean director Gore Verbinski has jumped ship and will not be working on the fourth installment of the series. He is going to direct Bioshock.
How will this affect the fourth Pirates movie? I guess we won’t know until its released, but it can’t be a good thing when the director for the last three films walks out on you.

Preview: 7 Pounds
Will Smith is back, but what’s changed since Hancock and I Am Legend?
The answer? A lot. Smith has returned from his hiatus with a new drama film, 7 Pounds. The last movie of this drama that Smith starred in was The Pursuit of Happyness, which has been in the SquidFlicks to-be-reviewed list for some time now.
7 Pounds is from the same director of The Pursuit of Happyness, and since the first was a hit, I really think that 7 Pounds has great potential. Smith has been riding a streak of top-grossing movies for quite a while, and I don’t think the gravy train will end here.
The premise of the movie is that Ben Thomas (Smith), an IRS agent with a secret helps seven totally random strangers change their lives forever. All he asks for in return is that they never contact him or ask any questions, and that they answer when he calls for them.
Sounds like a great story to me, what do you think?
