A COMEDY OF HORRORS, VOL. 1., ANNOUNCED

I am delighted to report that A Comedy of Horrors, Vol. 1., has been officially announced.

The film is being brought to you by the creators of the 2017 acclaimed horror comedy The Night Watchmen and a bunch of other cool people. Hmmm. I guess that makes me one of the cool people.  I only wish I had earned that status in high school!

Check out the trailer for The Night Watchmen:

A Comedy of Horrors, Vol. 1 is an anthology film featuring a collection of short comedy horror films by different writers and directors. The masterminds of the project are Ken Arnold and Dan DeLuca. I go way back with Ken. I first met him when he and his wife ran the Annapolis Film Festival where my first feature 21 Eyes played.

In an ironic twist of fate, I next met Ken on the set of my short horror comedy Maestro Percival. In that film, a photographer hopes to hit the big time by photographing the famous violinist Edward Percival for his new album cover, but the assignment proves somewhat complicated after reports of the violinist's death. Ken played the titular zombie violinist. The film was the 2006 winner of the 48 Hour Film Festival HD Filmmaker Showdown.

Maestro Percival was directed by my old friend David Butler. We have partnered on projects since our days together at Towson University. David brought Ken and I together again. Eduardo Sanchez, of The Blair Witch Project fame, was originally slated to direct The Night Watchmen. Unfortunately, he was unavailable to shoot the teaser trailer the production team needed to show investors. Ken and Dan brought David in to direct it, and David later brought me in to fine tune the edit.

Watch Ken and I discuss The Night Watchmen on the Yippee Ki Yay Mother Podcast.

Ken and Dan recently offered David and me the opportunity to contribute a tale to this film. Our story is called Scare B & B. The short is a partly a spoof of the magnificent recent Netflix series The Haunting of Hill House. In our story, a yuppie couple has rehabbed an old mansion, but can't sell it because of its reputation for being haunted. They hope to stem their losses by converting it into a bed and breakfast. Newly opened, the couple will stop at nothing to make sure their first customers have a peaceful and uneventful night. Our segment will be shot some time in July. I will keep you updated on its progress.

***UPDATE. Director David Butler and I have decided not to move forward with this project. We did not feel we could produce our segment for the budget available. That said, we wish Ken and the other filmmakers all success.  We hope the film will be a huge success!***
