We are very excited about working on our new documentary “LEGENDS OF FILM & FANTASY” currently in production, release date: fall 2009. We recently interviewed actor DON SULLIVAN, from the 1950’s classic “drive-in thrillers” - “Monster Of Piedras Blancas” & “The Giant Gila Monster”, with insights into the tight budgets and shooting schedules. While in Los Angeles, last summer, we were filming new interviews with MARK HAMILL, BILL MUMY, JULIE ADAMS, LEONARD MALTIN, LORI NELSON, BUTCH PATRICK, CARLA LAEMMLE - makeup masters, RICK BAKER, JOHN GOODWIN and so many others, plus exclusive tours of effects & prop studios, and artist, MAT FALLS of “Sideshow Collectibles” with a sculpting demonstration. All this, and many more surprises ahead, for our new four-hour, 2-disc documentary. Everyone has been extremely supportive - a special thanks to CHRIS GILMAN & his “GLOBAL EFFECTS STUDIOS”, without his help, much of this new documentary would not have been possible. Until our new release, we hope you enjoy our original DVD - “THE WITCH’S DUNGEON 40 YEARS OF CHILLS”. It is now available through www.amazon.com the perfect Halloween gift for everyone! So, get “Chilled To The Bone,” for this Halloween! http://www.amazon.com/Witchs-Dungeon-Chills-Classic-Documentary/dp/B00129YAJA/ref=cm_taf_title_featured?ie=UTF8&tag=tellafriend-20http://www.amazon.com/Witchs-Dungeon-Chills-Classic-Documentary/dp/B00129YAJA/ref=cm_taf_title_featured?ie=UTF8&tag=tellafriend-20shapeimage_2_link_0
