Making DEMON RESURRECTION: The Window Fight, September, 2004

One of the most elaborate and dangerous parts of the DEMON RESURRECTION shoot, was the window fight between Kate, played by actress and stuntwoman Laurie Miller, and a trellis-climbing demon, played by co-producer, actor and stuntman Edward Wheeler. Wheeler and Miller, planned the scene out themselves, fashioning special props and equipment for use in the scene, including the break-away trellis and the "landing pad" that Ed eventually drops onto.

Actor Laurie Miller (Kate) pushes the house's latticework trellis - and the demon clinging to it - away from the bedroom window, sending demon actor and stuntman Edward Wheeler flying toward the makeshift "landing pad."
