I'm a writer and director. Hint--if you want to make a genuinely good horror movie, don't focus on the gore, try to do a lot of off-screen, brutal bits (for example, you'll noticed quite a bit of off-screen violence in the Devil's Rejects) and focus on the pain in a character's face. Kind of obvious, I know, but you'd be surprised how people don't realise this.

I know you hate to promote aka Spam, especially something you're working on, but is there someplace we can see this online scene?

I have worked with models who wanted to become actresses, one in particular is well on her way. Very talented. Some others make good eye candy in small roles.

sorry for making you point that out. I completely missed it.

CK, the part with her describing the bat is hilarious.

Thanks. Another reason I used so many quick, multiple cuts (besides her saying "dude", "f**kin'", or "seriously" constantly) was a lot of laughing on the set. Everyone was in hysterics when she did that take and I knew I had to use it. And, yes, we both know Bela Lugosi played 'Dracula'. I wrote it that way as a joke. A serious film student actually IMed me to point out my "mistake" :D

Both have done some modeling gigs together before, but this is the first movie for either. There was a prior title, but my screenplay is so drastically different that I didn't even want that title attached to it. Shooting in a few hours and I'm getting together some horrible Polish disco music CD for bar owner as a payment to use her place LOL

Note to self: Never shoot in bar on Saturday night during regular business hours again. Suddenly everybody is a DP, script writer, acting coach, etc and they all want to pitch you their ideas while you're shooting. Footage looks good, sound will be a nightmare. To think I didn't want any special treatment and shoot after closing either. Idiot ! LOL
