To be precise, Heinz’s Halloween Horror. What starts as a simple game with a few plastic dinosaurs quickly degenerates into multiple murder and extra-dimensional confusion- and where does Tarantino fit into all of this?
Heinz’s Halloween Horror just showed at London’s Exploding Cinema to a rapturous crowd and heralds a chapter in the life of Jim and Heinz, a pair of confused, deluded and lazy people… If you enjoy the film, check out one of the 14 others made.
If it’s friday it must be Demon hunting shennanigans with Ilford minicab driver Mick Roads. In 3D. As a matter of fact, today’s film in the Blunt Halloween countdown is a pilot filmed by Mick with his cousin Sean with the hope that one of the cable channels will produce it. No takers so far. You will need green and red or blue and red glasses. The red should go over the left eye. If none of that works, scroll down for the film in glorious 2D
Paranormal investigator Charles Moon lifts the lid on the unknown and shines the torch of truth upon the woodlice of mystery that scurry from the dark corners of uncertainty. In this episode Moon ventures to the forests of Epping to investigate the strange case of The Epping Forest Yeti.
For this ghoulish Wednesday Blunt Productions unveils its latest macabre treat in the rundown to Halloween. Little Bob, plasticene sidekick to Australian artist Golf Thewlis has a prank up his sleeve for Halloween. However Golf is not amused. Contains strong language.
Filmed live at the Blunt Club
Today Blunt Productions present: The Devils Chase.
Rex Van Ryn and the Duc De Richlieu are on the run from Mocata and the legions of hell. Join them as they attempt to navigate their way through the forest in a desperate bid to reach safety…
For our next film in Blunt Productions Halloween Countdown we have a ghoulish treat: Zombie Public Information Film. A public information film on the dangers of going out after the 8pm zombie hazard curfew.
Today we present one of our most popular 3D films: ‘Peter, Paul and Zombie’ Shot using every trick in our zero-budget arsenal including Zombie makeup, home made squibs, 3D, the backs of heads flying off and some choice swearing, it has everything you’ve come to expect from the Blunt Productions stable. If you don’t have a pair of red-green 3D glasses, try red-blue ones (red goes over the left eye). If you don’t have either scroll down for the 2D version.
From Sunday onwards we will be celebrating Halloween by presenting a classic spooky Blunt movie. Zombies, Demons, The Epping Forest Yeti and Dopplegangers are all part of the ghoulish fun. Two of the movies will be presented in glorious 3D so if you have some red and greenanaglyph glasses we would recommend rooting around for them. Don’t worry if you haven’t, we will still present the movies in 2D (you’ll just have to ignore all the cheap gimmicks with people holding objects up to the screen). Don’t forget the countdown to Halloween starts this Sunday…
It’s almost Halloween and as Blunt Productions Zombie Make Up racks up the hits on youtube I thought I’d take this time to check out our competitors. Yes I know our zombies were too green but let’s see if anybody else made the mistake of over greening their undead to look like monster cucumbers? Although having said that our 1.5 minute film did pack in an intro on greasy actors, a tutorial on making your actor look like (a green) reanimated corpse and a zombie sitcom!
If you haven’t seen it yet you’ll find it here.
I’ve picked three random D.I.Y. zombie make up tutorials (if you know of any better ones out there let us know) to see how they match up.
Well let’s start watching…
HOW TO APPLY ZOMBIE MAKE-UP AS A HALLOWEEN COSTUME
This film is done by Mike the ‘How to Guy’, who also gives instructions on ‘How to build a bird house’ and ‘How to wash a dog’. He comes across as a happy clean cut boy. 1.5 minutes in and Mike has put on a bloodied T shirt and is applying some white basecoat. 3 minutes in and sadly no green make up has been applied, instead Mike creates some dark rings under his eyes while some annoying glockenspiel loop plays. Come on Mike get a move on! Finally it’s over 4 minutes in when Mike gets some fake skin and starts to make a cut for his forehead. Then he sticks some blood around his face and in the cut and that’s it. Generally Mike seems a bit too wholesome to pull this zombie look off and there’s nothing here that’s surprising but it’s ok if you’ve never attempted anything like this before. If you’re looking for something more hardcore though you won’t find it here.
Overall rating 4/10
ZOMBIES HALLOWEEN HOW-TO MAKE-UP: BFX
The original zombie make-up by Indy Mogul who has gone on to do further instalments and with a million hits you can understand why. This is good stuff and at only 2 minutes really gets into it quickly using Super Time Lapse. Indy Mogul talks us through the whole process of applying latex and tissue paper. Still the end result is a little disappointing but later films improve on the tutorial adding larger putrid wounds.
Overall rating 7/10
HOW TO DO ZOMBIE MAKEUP, THREADBANGER
I like the way this begins with a 70’s style zombie homage showing some people fleeing from maurading zombies up a stairwell. Then we’re introduced to a couple of camp New York men who hold zombie parties, they in turn introduce us to their make up artist called Katie. She’s a proper make up artist and recommends a range of products (Latex, face paint, fake skin, sponges etc) to create your zombie look. She talks us all the way through the process which has been edited down to 4 minutes. Unlike ‘Mike The How to Guy’ she has a lot of good tips to give you during those 4 minutes. By far the best zombie but where’s the green? Tagged onto the end of this video after a wedding advert is an Indy Mogul piece about making zombie clothes.
