CHRISTMAS THEMED HORROR FILM "STIRRING" NEARS HALFWAY FUNDED MARK ON KICKSTARTER

 

Christmas Themed Horror Film Stirring: Brinke Stevens, Helene Udy, and Kaylee Williams Nears Halfway Funded Mark on Kickstarter 

 
Troy Escamilla, in collaboration with Fright Meter Films, is set to produce his second feature film and bring true holiday terror to the screen in Fall 2018.  Titled Stirring and penned by Escamilla, it was inspired by Escamilla's favorite horror film, 1974's Black Christmas and will focus a group of students attending a Christmas party at a sorority house with a sinister past who are stalked by a bloodthirsty killer.  Horror icon and Scream Queen Brinke Stevens is set to star in the film alongside Helene Udy who appeared in the classic 1981 slasher My Bloody Valentine and up and coming indie horror actress Kaylee Williams (Model Hunger, The Lashman, Porkchop 3D). 

Escamilla has reached $6,251 of his $13,500 with 9 days left, so show your support and remember there are a plethora of great rewards available for backers, including the opportunity to be an extra in the film!  Troy Escamilla knows and respects the horror genre.  He founded the Fright Meter Awards, which have grown in respect and popularity over the last few years with global backers that make up the over 50 member international Award Committee, including bloggers, writers, directors, producers, actors and fans in the horror genre.

Fright Meter Films first feature, Party Night, was filmed this past June after being successfully funded on Kickstarter.  Also written and directed by Escamilla, it wrapped post production last month and has received very positive early reviews from sites such as Dread Central, iHorror, The Horror Sydicate, and PopHorror.  Escamilla plans to hit the festival circuit in 2017 with Party Night.  He promises Stirring will not disappoint:  “Fans of holiday themed horror will enjoy the hell out of it; it’s bigger, bloodier and bolder than Party Night!  Fans will recognize winks to Black Christmas, Silent Night, Deadly Night and To All a Goodnight, but will also appreciate its own unique style and take on the Christmas themed slasher,”

NEW HORROR FILM "PARTY NIGHT" GOES INTO PRE-PRODUCTION


New Horror Film “Party Night” Goes into Pre-Production

 

Troy Escamilla and Renee K. Smith, in collaboration with Fright Meter Films, are set to produce their first ever feature film and bring true terror to the screen in Fall 2016.  Titled Party Night and penned by Escamilla, the film is a throwback to 80’s slasher films such as Prom Night and Hell Night. This is the first feature film produced by Fright Meter Films, and the passion for this project is immense. “This film is truly a love letter to fans of genre.  There are many references in the script that horror fans will grin widely at, but the film is still unique in its own right,” Escamilla states.

Escamilla has a goal of raising $10,500 by March 10th, 2016 with the Party Night campaign. Troy Escamilla knows the horror genre.  He founded the Fright Meter Awards, which have grown in respect and popularity over the last few years with global backers that make up the over 50 member international Award Committee, including bloggers, writers, directors, producers, actors and fans in the horror genre.

What makes Party Night the perfect first project for Fright Meter Films is that it is fairly simplistic in its structure and content: there are only seven characters in the script and 85% of it takes place at one location, which equates to a modest budget. Collaborations are happening with other independent filmmakers, such as Kevin Sommerfield, who wrote and produced both Don't Go to the Reunion and Dismembering Christmas. Sommerfeld is on board as producer to lend his expertise on low budget independent filmmaking. Renee K. Smith, has experience as a playwright, producer, and director in the Houston area.

The teaser trailer for the film can be viewed on the Kickstarter page via the link below.
