HELL ON EARTH SYNOPSIS

HELL ON EARTH is a hybrid of Evil Dead, Demon Knight, and From Dusk till Dawn, using the classic theme of humans fighting their way out of an impossible situation. Of course this “impossible situation” just happens to be infested with all sorts of monsters, demons, and undead creatures.

Seventeen year old Bobby, walks with the help of metal leg braces and lives with his nasty parents and repulsive sister, Peggy. He plays with “imaginary friends” provided by the mysterious and ancient “Apocryphal Book of Tarkuhm” provided by his eccentric and somewhat crazy Aunt Sadie.

What he does not know is that the monsters and demons are only biding their time until the planets are aligned and they can get him to read the passage freeing their master from the “Hell” of another universe.

As this process begins more and more bizarre creatures breach the portal of this world and magically seal everyone in the house including Bobby, his parents, Peggy, her partying friends, and the mysterious Aunt Sadie.

Things get nasty as one by one the inhabitants of the house fall prey to the ever increasing hoard of pustular
monstrosities. Who will survive? Who will discover the way to destroy these strange creatures and save the Earth?

Watch this space as we take you step by step through the filmmaking process! We just had a GREAT SHOOT and are now editing. Music, sound effects and special effects are being worked on as well!

As we update this page, TERI SHIELDS (Brooke's Mom) has agreed to be an executive producer for the film! Also, from The Deadly Spawn, executive producer Ron Giannotto and Marc Harwood (special effects) are on board! We have a number of talented special effects artists working on an array of cool effects.

Here is our cast! From left to right, EMILY ALPREN as Ginger, DON MONEY as Norman, PETER STICKLES as Chris, TERRY SHANE as Ernie, AIMEE HOFMANN as Lisa, BRETT FALLON as Bobby, MARY CORINNE MILLER as Janet, TERESA VICARIO as Lucy, KRISTIN WOODBURN as Peggy and PAT CEASER as Aunt Sadie.

I'm finishing a book called,
MAKING LOW-BUDGET SCIENCE-FICTION FILMS: A REAL HORROR STORY.

The first chapter is The Making of The Deadly Spawn. I will present that here in the near future.

This book will cover not only my sci-fi and horror films (The Deadly Spawn, Metamorphosis: The Alien Factor, The Regenerated Man, Vampire Vixens From Venus, Fantastic Filmshow I & 2, Mind Killer, etc) but 'mob film' This Thing of Ours and music/comedy Destination Fame.

This Thing of Ours stars Frank Vincent (Goodfellas), Vincent Pastore (The Sopranos), James Caan (The Godfather), Pat Cooper (Analyze This), Chuck Zito (Oz), Brad Whitford (Aerosmith), Danny Provenzano, Louis Vanaria and Christian Maelen.

Destination Fame stars Joe Jackson, Cuba Gooding, Jordan Knight, AJ Gil, Mario and Paul DeAngelo. Hopefully, both these films will be released next year.
