Big Biting Pig Films to Screen on TV's Macabre Theatre
The Tabloid Witch has long been a fan of Kentucky's Big Biting Pig Productions. Their Hell Is Full won a Best Feature Screenplay Tabloid Witch in 2010, and The Creepy Doll won an Honorable Mention in 2011.
Now Steve Hudgins informs us that Big Biting Pig "came to an agreement with a nationally syndicated show called Macabre Theatre, which is kind of along the lines of the Elvira show. So our movies will be getting seen by a wider audience in the near future. We also just wrapped shooting on our latest movie called Spirit Stalkers".

Jose C. Gomez's New Horror Feature Film: Plastic
Filmmaker Jose C. Gomez won an Honorable Mention Tabloid Witch Award in 2009 for his zombie feature film, Bled White.
Gomez now returns with another horror feature film, Plastic. This time the focus is on a serial killer rather than on zombies, but Plastic has Bled White's same dark sensibility.
Plastic also features many of the players from Bled White, including Colleen Boag, who won a Best Supporting Actress Tabloid Witch Award in 2009 for her work in Bled White.

Matthew Daniels on the Making of Happy Happy Halloween
Matthew Daniels won a 2011 Best Horror Music Video Tabloid Award for Happy Happy Halloween. He now offers us a "behind the scenes" look at how he did it.
"The funny thing is," says Daniels, "how little time and money I spent on this. I already had the instrumental song. We had all the props. All I bought for this was the lolly pops and costumes.
"We [Daniels, his wife, and two daughters] just hopped in the van and went looking for locations. Within two hours, including driving time, we had all the footage.
"I found a hill behind the local mall that hadn't been mowed. And, I was shooting uphill, you couldn't see the neighborhood behind them. Conditions were serendipitous, as there was a dark storm cloud behind them and the sun was setting in front of them. That was the opening and closing shot.
"We jumped back in the van looking for another location, before we lost our light, and ended up at a nearby park. That lone tree seemed perfect. We actually went shopping and out to eat -- with the girls still in costume. While shopping, a girl asked Nikki if they were dancers for some band.
"We got home and spent another 15 minutes in the now darkened front hall with some flashlights to light from below. I played the instrumental, so they could get the rhythm and Nikki could get the right notes, but they weren't hearing them when we recorded that bit. It all just worked out and was easily mixed with the instrumental.
"I'd never tried to properly edit a video, before, and whipped it together overnight. (I do go by Midnight Habit for a reason.) Knowing a bit more about editing, I went back and redid it this year, changing some framing, lighting, and timing issues. Plus, I wanted to add two clips of Jazzy that weren't in the original."

Damon Packard Directs Revisting The Vistor
Underground filmmaker Damon Packard won a Best Avant-Garde Horror Short Film Tabloid Witch Award in 2008, for his Chemtrails: An Investigative Report.
Fans of Packard's other works also know that he often "borrows" the theme song from the 1979 Italian horror film, The Visitor. Packard's a big fan of that mondo-bizarro film.
His musical tastes seem to have caught someone's attention, because Packard has since directed (and edited) a short documentary on "the making of" The Visitor, entitled "Revisiting the Visitor. It's available on the newly restored DVD edition, which, despite what it says on Amazon, is a WIDESCREEN version! Plus it includes additional footage never before seen in the United States.
You can also view Packard's "Revisiting the Visitor" on YouTube (above).
Yes, the documentary opens with that awesomely bombastic score that Visitor fans have come to know and love.
As musical scores go, it's an unconventional choice for a film about demons and Armageddon, but then, The Visitor is an unconventional film.
And Packard is one unconventional filmmaker.
Congrats to Damon Packard on his continuing success!
