The movie has evolved a lot since the release of trailer a few years back… Now that this movie is nearing completion, it is time to start sharing the new darker and more refined look of the movie. I hope you enjoy.

The video is also available for download to your cell phone at http://www.zedge.net/videos/228314/the-tell-tale-heart-video/

Here is a tasty little morsel for you all…

While my favorite horror movies frighten the audience through eerie suspense and anxiety build-up rather than getting the screams through gore, this movie does address the dismemberment of the Old Man. Most of the dismemberment is alluded to except the swing of the Axe…I couldn’t resist.

Teachers, is this too much gore in your classrooms, if included in the Teachers Bundle version? I am considering an optional toned down version on the DVD…Do you foresee a toned down version valuable or necessary?

The production is coming along beautifully, however a little slow…This will move the launch back to January 2010. Naturally, once the production goes to print, everyone on the fan and notification lists will be notified as to exact day the movie is available for purchase.

Shot of us working hard on finishing up the production.

Since quite a few people have been waiting in anticipation of the release, I decided to share a shot of the Old Man…but not his Eye… ha ha ha!

Enjoy,

Without music or ambient sounds, even the scariest scenes can fall flat…Well, we are not going to let you down.

Much work has gone into creating fantastically dark music for Edgar’s evil deeds. Teaming up with the skills of horror musician Virgil Franklin (www.VirgilMusic.net), we have enhanced the mood evermore with chilling music and unsettling ambient sounds.

Sample of The Tell-Tale Heart theme music…(one of my favorites scores).

Special Thanks to Virgil Music…

The eyes are the portal to the soul…So, it is important to get it right.  Below is a shot of Pabodie (the young police officer in the group) before he gets the rest of his hair. As you can tell from his eyelashes and eyebrows, he is a red head.

After rendering this scene and seeing is dark freaky motif, I had to make a wallpaper for myself…well…and everyone else. I hope you enjoy this one as much as I am.

Note: The Windows Vista trans-coding of the JPG format for their backdrop is a little blotchy…So I made myself a nice fat .bmp wallpaper, also supported by Microsoft for their backdrops. This is also down-loadable. While the .BMP format (almost 9MB), it is beautiful and rich in color and gradients…besides isn’t that why we have broadband.

All the wallpapers can be found on the wallpaper page, always accessible on the top right of the blog page..you can also use this link.

Here is a sample image of the wallpaper.

Enjoy, Michael

Every horror movie needs a creepy wheelchair.

The paparazzi has snapped pictures of Edgar back home at his father’s “Moldavia Estate” in Richmond. Seen here through the window, Edgar enjoys a leisurely evening gazing over the lands after a long night of stalking.
