"JUDITH" THE RETRO CUT

2012-01-13T16:08:00.000-08:00

Happy Friday The 13th everyone! I am excited to share with you the brand new “Retro Cut" of our HALLOWEEN tribute short film JUDITH. Director Josh Hasty decided to revisit the footage and put together this killer new throwback style horror film for your viewing pleasure (see below for director's notes)!

In order to upload the film to Vimeo we had to compress the video file, so the picture quality is a little disappointing - if anyone is interested in getting a DVD copy of the new cut, we are giving them away for FREE with purchase of a Myers House NC t-shirt ($13 + shipping) – CLICK HERE for more details! So lock your doors, bolt your windows, turn off the lights and ENJOY THE FILM!

Director's Notes regarding “The Retro Cut”
When Kenny Caperton and I set out to shoot this film, we never wanted it to come across as just another fan film. Although we are obviously serious fans of the original film, as is everyone who helped make the film, we wanted people to see this as a "tribute.” The original cut was fine and got a positive response, but it just didn't have the feel I wanted. Nonetheless, we released it anyway. I left it alone for about a year or so and finally decided to revisit it. I remembered an interview I read with Michael Mann on making "Public Enemies.” The interviewer asked him why he shot the film in HD and didn't add an old film effect to match the costumes and sets of the film. He said something along the lines of the fact that once you add that nostalgia to the picture, the audience is no longer "in" the film with the characters, but rather watching archival footage. That was it! I thought, if this is a tribute, I don't want the audience to feel like they're there. They're not. They were there in 1978 with John Carpenter's film, not this one. So a new look and a few alterations to some of the scenes were made, and I couldn't be happier with final product as it stands. To me it's solid, concise, and very pleasing to watch. It's simply a tribute to HALLOWEEN. ~J. Hasty

JUDITH (The Retro Cut) from myershousenc on Vimeo.

• JUDITH: THE NIGHT SHE STAYED HOME (2010)
from The Myers House NC & Circa Sixty-Seven Industries

Film Synopsis: TRICK-OR-TREAT! It's Halloween day in the quiet rural community of Haddonfield, Illinois. Judith Myers and her best friend D'arcy Mims are planning a Halloween night campout at The Myers House with their friends. Judith is trying to forget the growing tensions in her family and wants to immerse herself in a carefree celebration, but her reclusive brother's presence casts an ominous shadow over their cheerful preparations.

This short film breaths life into an often overlooked character from John Carpenter's HALLOWEEN - Judith Myers may have only had a short appearance in the classic film, but she nevertheless played a crucial role in the forming of the Michael Myers story. Director Josh Hasty (A Mannequin in Static) and writer Kenny Caperton (the creator of The Myers House NC) join forces to reinvent a classic character in an original new story.

JUDITH was released on Saturday, May 22, 2010 at Dusk. The film was released online for free in streaming video, and that coincided with a physical limited edition (ONLY 100 / SOLD-OUT) hand-numbered DVD release. The film was shot in 5 days in September 2009 at The Myers House NC and the surrounding areas of Hillsborough, NC and Orange Grove, NC.

"ALL HALLOWS EVIL" TEASER TRAILER

2011-11-19T09:38:00.000-08:00

Check out the official teaser trailer for All Hallows Evil - Lord of the Harvest, which was filmed partially at the house this Fall. The film is scheduled to be released in October 2012. For more information, please visit cryptshow.net or the official Facebook page.

Film Synopsis: The sleepy town of Hallowed Hill is known by many as the Halloween capitol of the world because of its history, and because of its Pagan origins. People from all around come to visit the town on the night of All Hallows Eve.

200 years ago, on Halloween, a great evil was unleashed on the town by a witch who dabbled in the black arts. After a long night of mayhem, brought on by this terrible evil, a select group of towns folk were able to stop the witch, and dispatch the evil back into the darkness from whence it came.

Now 200 years later a young girl finds an ancient Pagan book archived deep in the old cellar of the local library, and with the help of her wicked foster mother the two again release the evil Sam Hain from his hell-bound prison to once again wreak havoc on Halloween night. The question is, can the town once again join together to stop the evil, or will Hallowed Hill be completely devoured by the Lord of the Harvest.

HALLOWEEN: THE INSIDE STORY

2011-10-25T13:12:00.000-07:00

You can now watch The Biography Channel's feature-length documentary Halloween: The Inside Story (which features The Myers House NC) in its entirety on their website at biography.com!

Doc Synopsis:
An inside look at the making of John Carpenter's 1978 low-budget horror masterpiece. First conceived as a "babysitter murder movie" the young-gun director, along with a group of recent film school grads and a gang of eager but inexperienced actors, tackled Halloween's 21-day shooting schedule, $325,000 budget and an ambitious four-minute long take to become the stuff of indie-film legend. This is an inspirational story of young artists coming together and a "behind-the-mask" look at one of the creepiest horror flicks of all time. Jamie Lee Curtis, John Carpenter, Rob Zombie and more provide insightful commentary dealing with everything from having five different Michael Myers' to the movie's legacy as a slasher film that would spawn scores of imitations but not one equal.

Legends 2 Press Release:
Orlando, FL - Emmy Award Winner* Gerald J. Godbout III and Godbout Entertainment are proud to announce the completion of their latest production - a tribute film to HALLOWEEN called Legends 2: A Halloween Tale.

A sequel to Godbout’s 2004 fan favorite film Legends: A Friday the 13th Tale. Legends 2 was originally conceived as a short film but later expanded to feature length. The film picks up 10-years after the events depicted in Dimension Films’ HALLOWEEN H20. But there is a twist, Legends 2 conceives that the events in past Halloween films happened in reality and then Hollywood turned them into films. “Telling the story this way lets us keep the events of the films as canon but allows Legends 2 to have its own path” said Writer/Director Gerald J Godbout III. “It was a labor of love and craziness as we shot part of this film in North Carolina—driving 10 hours to a replica house from the first Halloween film that Kenny Caperton, a fan and over all great guy, had built.”

Synopsis:

John Tate has been living as John Freeling in Orlando, Fl for the past 10 years. As Halloween approaches John begins to dream of his half sister Jamie, she comes to him warning him that their uncle the boogieman has re-awakened and will kill again. She tells him that together they can put an end to his rage and finally break their family's curse. Meanwhile Haddonfield has gotten an upgrade by a huge construction company and has been bringing families back into its fold. New partner Greg Trent has a lot to prove and has gotten his friends together for the grand opening to the new Haddonfield. In the end John finds himself with a choice, run or go back to Haddonfield and face the boogieman one last time.

Legends 2 will have premieres in both Orlando and North Carolina. After that it will be available for download OCT 31, 2011 at godboutfilms.com/legends2.htm.
