Wrapped production on the WNUF Halloween Sequel today.
Might crack open the last pumpkin beer I saved from this fall to mark the occasion. Might wait for February when I run the final cut through dueling VCRs.
Either way, big ups to everyone who's helped make it possible. 🎃

In a couple of hours, I have the biggest movie pitch of my life and here's my wife's advice:

"Why don't you put on werewolf gloves but never show them until you scratch your face at the end?"

For over a decade I've made Halloween mixes of creepy kitsch and spooky stupidity and back in 2020, I made a mega cut of my favorites from the 1st 10 years.

I’ve spent a decent chunk of my week rolling tapes through dueling VCRS- Agonizing over versions, degeneration, and even the tiniest of variations to make this movie distinctly 90's.
But by the grace of the Great Pumpkin, the WNUF Halloween sequel will be all done very soon.

Remember back in '97 when there were rumors that the Scream sequel was going to be called "Scream Again" or "Scream Louder"?
I wish they would have gone down this Goosebumps-esque road because I wanna live in a world where "Scream 6" was called "Still Even More Screaming".

Years ago, we sold the rights to “Call Girl of Cthulhu” in perpetuity but today, thanks to some incredible kindness we got them back- something I never thought would happen.

My favorite part of being a filmmaker in 2022 is when reviewers explain their negative review is partially due to the cost they were charged.

Self distributing wnuf2 has been immensely eye-opening. I regret nothing.
Not putting it on streaming has also been a very good thing (atleast for now) and I’ll be happy to chat in detail about that if you’re buying the dranks. <3
Anyway… here’s some snark from Instagram.

“Everyone’s going to hate this movie, but we’re gonna make it anyway.”
Back in 2012, when we made WNUF Halloween Special, I was convinced no one would like it, but it was something I felt compelled to make because no one was dumb enough to make it how I wanted to. .. (1/12)
