Horror House: Messengers II

In the confusion of heading up to Pennsylvania (for some quality time with @GoZombieGo and the Zombielets) I forgot to post the next Horror House project I did with Scott Sigler for Mevio.com.

This time we featured Messengers II: The Scarecrow, a new movie from Ghost House Pictures, available in stores and on Amazon.com. (I get no kickbacks for the link, I’m just helpful like that)

New upgrades to look for:

• We added some fun “interview cutaways” for fresh takes on Ghost House and their new flick (featuring novelist J.C. Hutchins in Episode One, Messengers screenwriter Todd Farmer in Episode Two, and me)
• Moving cameras!  I wanted this in the first series, and there just wasn’t time to develop it.  Now the camera cruises constantly as Scott lays out the dirt on Messengers II.  Groovy.

Post some comments, thoughts are welcome.  I want to smooth out the cameras in the next version, and I’m looking to revamp a few other things too.

Another Sigler/Newton Grungefest

In what marks our third (fourth?) collaboration, Scott Sigler — excuse me, NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR Scott Sigler and I team up, this time with the good folks at Mevio.com, to bring you Jigsaw’s Top 5 Cuts, a series of creepy/awesome videos promoting the upcoming Saw V DVD release on January 20.

Scott hosted the video, shot by Mevio, and post-production done by me.  Special props to Kevin Capizzi for the wicked Horror House door animations, and of course, our own David W. Kanter for his excellent music supervision.

Watch the first video here.  The next four will be emerging from now till Tuesday.  Then go pick up a copy of Saw V, and tell ‘em Newton and Sigler sent you.

For those of you keeping score, this was identified as Secret Project #2.
