Making DEMON RESURRECTION: Staircase Action, September, 2004

More elaborate and potentially dangerous stunt work on the DEMON RESURRECTION shoot: co-producer and stunt coordinator Edward Wheeler and stunt performer Jerry Woods take turns diving off the living room stairs into a landing pad fashioned from cardboard boxes. Wheeler jumps over the bannister from near the top of the flight, while Woods makes an even more perilous jump from the landing at the top of the stairs. Wheeler's jump doesn't make it into the final cut of the film, but Wood's does...

Seen from near the top step, the staircase on which the battle between Denton and the demons will be staged. This still was taken during location scouting, months before principal photography commenced. The sculptures and other bric-a-brac at the bottom of the flight will be removed before shooting begins.
