Fever All Through The Night.
I had intended to spend the weekend doing some housecleaning, both in reality and for the blog. Unfortunately, I came down with the most brutal fever I’ve experienced since the time the ceramic E.T. statue in my bedroom started talking to me. It certainly didn’t help that I finally began whittling down the Stack of Shame and the last movie I watched before going to sleep prompted bizarre hallucinations. Peeping Tom nearly killed me.
Movies
You all know how much I love killer pig movies. Horror Yearbook has the scoop on Pig Hunt, a film about a giant boar, topless cultists and a killer hippy. Oh, you had me at boar. The rest is just icing.
My brother in killer pig movies, Jeff O’Brien, seems to be considering another creature feature project with Prey For The Beast director Brett Kelly.

“Still, I can honestly say this is the best film based on a beloved childhood era decal I’ve ever seen.”

Thanks for the plug and at this point, the project for Brett Kelly is in rewrites and even that is on hold for a bit pending another rewrite I owe for a script shooting this July. The project for Brett is a remake of Attack of the Giant Leeches.
