Black Devil Doll NEWS. May 28th...

Bunch of stuff going down at the Black Devil Doll headquarters as usual. More from that pissed off Tampa Florida Critic, a screening this weekend, and FOUR next week. Read On Dammit:

A week or so ago you will remember our blog about a Tampa Bay FL "critic" talking crap about our film without having seen it. He should have known better.

Like the amazing fans you are, you guys FLOODED his comment board with your disapproval.... Something like 80 posts, and he normally gets one or two if that. It was some of the funniest *beep* I have ever read, but all your points were 100% on. Its simple, see the film before you judge it, that’s Critic 101! So thank you all for the support.

Well the "critic", Steve Persall, is about to talk about all things Black Devil Doll again(!), of course he still hasn't seen it yet. LIVE this Sunday night on HorrorMovieFans.Com Radio!
You can go to his blog now, for all the details and feel free to leave him any comments:

Be sure to tune in LIVE and call in to the show this Sunday! I'm going to try to call in but I'm going to be out of town screening Black Devil Doll at the Steve Allen theatre in LA, I will try to call in on my cell.

So anyway, we are busy selling Black Devil Doll to foreign markets, France, Germany, UK, Japan to name a few. Expect Black Devil Doll to be world wide by the end of the summer. We are busy working on the US DVD release now, look for it in Aug or Sept, details to follow.

This weekend will be Southern Californians last chance to see Black Devil Doll on the big screen. Next week check out Black Devil Doll in Seattle Wa (at Crypticon), Tampa Florida, Philidelphia PA, and San Francisco CA. See below for all the details:

Fab Press really screwed up pulling our film and replacing it with that GARBAGE. I still don't really understand why but "someone" needs to grow "a set".

Anyway, as for the dvd questions:

We originally had planned to print Black Devil Doll condoms and Black Devil Doll rolling papers to give away with the first 1000 sold. But the condom and rolling paper places both refused to print them. We even tried toning the packing down and they still would not print it.

So instead we decided to beef up the DVD packaging. The dvd now comes in a clear dvd case and we have some cool stuff printed on the opposite side of the cover. We also included a booklet with liner notes and a mini fold out poster. Its the new black poster you can see on our myspace page in the pics section.

Other than that, if you pre order from us, you will get the dvd at a discount price.

I should have the check-discs back in Aug, when I see that everything is cool, I will start taking pre-orders. -shawn

Lets just say the excuse Harvey gave you and the excuse he gave me do not entirely match, but its over and I have moved on.

I have no bad blood with Harvey. He carries my t-shirts, I carry his books and I will continue to do so. And you are right, Fab Press is the best in the world at what they do and I doubt they will ever be topped.

That does not change the fact that his decision to pull our film at the last minute after we advertised it for months was a bad one. Bad for me, bad for Harvey, bad for the fans.

Things happen, and we all learn from these problems, and if we have more UK screenings coming (with Harvey's help) than I'm happy, and the fans will be too.

As for printing the condoms and papers, I tried every place in the United States and was turned down but ultimately the dvd packaging will be much cooler now and we even put more money into the Soundtrack CD release to make up for it. The remaming money we would have spent on the extras went to publishing a Black Devil Doll movie tie-in novel that will be on Amazon this Aug! You can read about it here:

So in the end you will be happy with all things Black Devil Doll, trust me
