Intro:
We all talk to ourselves, no matter if you’re willing to admit it or not, we all do it. Whether it’s trying to solve a problem, or just making what you just said made sense. However there is a point where talking to yourself can cross a line. When you start talking to someone, or something, else besides yourself and you swear its there. Like the Mother and Uncle duo in the 2007 release of a Bloody Moon Films feature, “Shudder”, Directed by Ben Dixon.
Patrick Farmer’s Urban Nights
Fulton, KY (osquid.com); December 15, 2008 – Publisher of online media and interactive content, Omega Squid Studios (OSS), has formally announced the commencement of work on Urban Nights, a film written and directed by Patrick Farmer of Horrorhut Productions.
“This is going to be a ground-breaking new project for both the company [Omega Squid Studios] and the members of the viewing audience.”
– Shelby Jones, owner of Omega Squid Studios
Urban Nights is an anthology-one film comprised of three smaller features-much like The Twilight Zone or Tales from the Crypt. The stories are set in an ‘urban’ environment.
The production is utilizing local talent and resources in several areas. From the actors to the locations, the film is a collective community effort, and all assistance is appreciated.
"It is going to be a great film; I’m proud of the script. The three stories are, to me, very original and entertaining; You get different feelings throughout, whether it’s a comedic or more of a serious tone, and they do deliver. I am thankful for everyone involved who have put so much into the project, and believing in it as much as I do; without them, this film could never become a reality."
– Patrick Farmer, director of Urban Nights
Producer Shelby Jones of Omega Squid Studios is currently looking for those who wish to contribute funds to help cover the cost of the production. It is estimated that another $500 will need to be raised so that necessary equipment and other supplies can be purchased. Sponsors will receive mention in the film’s credits. Please contact OSS for more information.
Urban Nights has its own website, which is currently under construction. OSS plans to have trailers of the film and cast bios up as soon as possible. You can visit the site at www.urbannightsfilm.com. Please direct inquiries to contact@osquid.com.

There was a strange sighting in the SquidFlicks HQ early this morning. This was the only viewable security camera footage of the perpetrator. I wonder if it’s still around…
We’ll keep you informed!
Hey Guys! I just wanted to say hey, and give y’all an detailed update with what all is going on. I want to apologize for not writing a review in FOREVER. I know that they haven’t been coming out fast as they should, and in the numbers that they used to be. Hopefully in 09 we can get on the ball with that.
Shelby and I have been running like chickens with their heads cut off here lately trying to get rolling on "Urban Nights," and trying to maintain a happy medium with SquidFlicks. I have a great slew of ideas for videos for SquidFlicks in 2009, but keep the word down on that until the New Years post.
What I can talk about is what we have in store for Christmas this year. In November, me and Shelby agreed to try and have a "Silent Night, Deadly Night" movie marathon for Christmas, but time got the best of us and we had to scrap that till next year. As mentioned in the previous post, we filmed a video special the other night with Seth Middleton and Derek Bradley; The Christmas Edition of SquidFlicks Reel 2 Reel, will be up, and we talked about "Yule Die" with the actor and director. Christmas-themed reviews, and a short Christmas Special film will all be up in the next few days. I hope that you enjoy the Holiday season with your favorite movie review site, SquidFlicks.com!
Peace, Love, Blame Eli Roth

Hello there, take a seat if you will; Here is the story of Shelby, the producer of Urban Nights. After hitting a family & friends holiday party this Friday night, I wrapped up the rest of the evening sitting in a loooong read-through of the Urban Nights script.
Why weren’t we filming? Good question. Our location canceled their appointment to let us film tonight, so we will regroup and try again next week. Not wanting to waste valuable time, we opted to have the cast read through and adjust the scripts.
After all the re-reads and edits, we decide to watch an Independent film that was made by one of the cast members of Urban Nights. The movie was Yule Die, directed by Seth Middleton. A special video review was spawned in the middle of the night, and will be out this week as part of the SquidFlicks Christmas festivities.
We were finished at around 3 AM Saturday morning. I am still tired. 😀
So, 2008 is almost over. There have been a LOT of great movies this year, but that’s the past. There is someone who has created a list of what they think will be the top movies of the upcoming year.
Is this list 100% correct? No, but I think that some of these movies will be worth checking out next year. After seeing what movies I look forward to, visit the article and see the other top titles that have been selected.
Keep reading to see the picks!
When you think of all the Christmas holiday seasons you have lived through, what do you remember the most? What do you associate the holiday with? Most of us would say ‘Santa’ or ‘Christmas trees’ and especially that combination of red and green.
What you probably don’t think of is the dark side of Christmas, the side that for most of the present has remained pretty dormant. Just because it is dormant does not mean that it doesn’t have any strength, because every few years the dark side of Christmas comes out in society.
What am I talking about? I’m talking about Christmas-based horror movies! Yes, the classics with names like Silent Night, Deadly Night; Black Christmas; and Jack Frost, just to name a few. These films were released right during the holiday season, and caused a huge amount of controversy. What else would you expect from free speech?
Personally, I don’t care too much for x-mas slasher films, but they are a very interesting and unique sub-genre of horror movie. It’s always good to have some variety in an otherwise very uniform holiday across much of the world, and that variety is the Christmas horror movie.
My favorite Christmas movie with a horror/creepy twist is Tim Burton’s A Nightmare Before Christmas. Not really a horror movie per se, but it is still a slightly dark montage of Halloween and Christmas. Another great and slightly twisted tale is The Grinch who Stole Christmas.(original version, but the remake was ok)
Patrick and I wanted to do a Silent Night, Deadly Night movie marathon, but we don’t have the entire series in the archive nor the time to film and have the footage ready. We plan on having another surprise instead this year.
Do you like the Christmas horror classic, or do you like to snuggle up to the yearly re-run of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer? Comment below!
I can’t wait to see this movie; there was a preview for it when I went to go see Madagascar: Back 2 Africa. I really think that it’s going to be AWESOME!
It is starring many famous names in entertainment today:
Seriously, there are some very nice animated movies that have come out in the past few years, and I hope this proves to be another addition to that list!

Sorry for the late update, it’s been a crazy week here at HQ!
This weekend’s top five were a variety of movies and genres, from number one being Vince Vaghn’s Four Chistmases to James Bond in Quantum of Solace.
Bolt, a story involving an animated dog who thinks he’s a superhero opens in second place, Australia remains in the top five through its second week of release.
Twilight remains in the top five with another big weekend box office. Overall all the films in the top five grossed over $10 million, signifying that more people are going out to the theaters as the holiday season progresses.
I look forward to what a rerelease of The Dark Knight into theaters will make – stay tuned!
I also hope you enjoyed your Thanksgiving weekend!

Over the past century, the great American movie studio companies have changed almost as much as their logos did. See this great article that shows us what the logos looked like over the years.
Also, as a trivia tidbit, you learn the names of the MGM lions over the years! 😛
