SLIME CITY MASSACRE Update

Well, we finished on schedule (20 days) and relatively on budget. It's a much bigger film than I anticipated, and I wrote the script! Phil Gallo - he did the score for MOTHER'S DAY and directed the indie films WEST NEW YORK and MATTIE FRESNO AND THE HOLOFLUX UNIVERSE - just started editing. Newcomers Jennifer Bihl and horror author Kealan Patrick Burke did excellent work as the leads, as did Debbie Rochon (amazing!) and Lee Perkins, and SLIME CITY vets Robert Sabin and Mary Bogle. Other SLIME returnees include T.J. Merrick and Dick Biel. It's a huge cast, a real ensemble piece, and there isn't one poor performance in the film. We did a lot of practical make-up effects, silicone rather than latex, but there will be CG enhancement down the road. The plan is to finish by the end of this year and hit the festival circuit next. Anyone who's interested in following the film's production, we've uploaded 20 episodes of SLIME CITY SURVIVOR to YouTube, with probably 6 more to come:

P.S. - Anyone going to Rue Morgue's Festival of Fear this year? I'll be at the Medallion Press booth, promoting my novel PERSONAL DEMONS: THE JAKE HELMAN FILES, which will be published in October. Medallion will be handing out free "ashcans" with the novel's first 3 chapters. And at the Festival of Fear Saturday night party - sponsored by Alternative Cinema and THE SLIME CITY GRINDHOUSE COLLECTION - we'll be unveiling "Slime," the theme song to SLIME CITY MASSACRE.
