How Much is That Zombie in the Window?

If you're shopping for copies of the Special Edition DVD of DEMON RESURRECTION on Amazon.com, you have a choice. You can buy it from the producers of the film, Feature Resources Inc, for $12.99, plus shipping. Or you can buy it from one of several other sellers offering the disk, including one who's selling it for $117.35, and another who has it priced to go at a mere $3,710.99, plus shipping...

"Why pay less?"
"Buy now and get this lovely tie absolutely free!"
Now, as the writer and director of the film, probably no one has a higher regard for it than I do, but even I think that three thousand is a little much. (And no free shipping?)

I assume what's going on here is similar to the incident described in this article on digitaltrends.com, where automatic pricing algorithms used by competing Amazon sellers ran the price for a genetics textbook up over twenty million dollars. The DEMON RESURRECTION DVD hasn't gotten up into that lofty price range yet, but we're off to a promising start.

On the other hand, as seller pricing on Amazon.com  can apparently fluctuate pretty wildly, the nice price currently being offered by the good people at "X-Clusive Store" of New Jersey could begin to drop at any time. So if you're absolutely intent on spending $3,710.99 for a copy of the DEMON RESURRECTION DVD, you should probably act now.

Or better yet, send the three grand to me. I'm pretty sure I can get you two copies for that money.

Caroline Adams on DEMON RESURRECTION - A 10th Anniversary Flashback

There's a limit to how much you can fit onto a DVD, even a Special Edition one. And so this interview with the lovely and talented Caroline Adams, which couldn't be squeezed onto the DEMON RESURRECTION Special Edition disc when it was released in 2010, has remained unseen till now.

Caroline, who makes a brief appearance in DEMON RESURRECTION as Kim, one of two archaeologists who come to a grisly end, also donned mask and robe to play one of the film's horde of resurrected dead.

Continuing my series of special posts to mark the ten year anniversary of the production of DEMON RESURRECTION, here's Caroline chatting with yours truly in 2006, looking back on the making of the film and describing the ups and downs of being a "lead demon."

Incidentally, for all those filmmakers who, after watching this, decide they must have Caroline as the star of their next film, I regret to report that in the years since this interview was done, Ms. Adams left show business for a career in medicine. I suppose she might be lured back for the right role, but it would probably have to be something that doesn't involve wearing a rubber mask.

Frank Cilla on DEMON RESURRECTION - A 10th Anniversary Flashback

In September of 2014, it will be a full ten years since DEMON RESURRECTION went into production, and in preparation for this anniversary, producer Frank Cilla and I will be stepping up our efforts to promote the film and get it out to a wider audience. I'll also be posting online selections from the trove of promotional and supplementary material we prepared for the film back when it was originally released.

Producer Cilla in the DEMON RESURRECTION Creature Workshop in 2004
Some of this stuff has, until now, only been available on the Special Edition DVD, so it'll be new to those who have only seen our film via online streaming. But there's also quite a bit of material in our vaults that hasn't been seen by anyone yet, and I'll be putting it all up online in the coming weeks and months, on this blog and on the film's Facebook page. With that to look forward to, now we all have something to live for.

First up, the man himself, producer Frank Cilla, describing the challenges and rewards of low budget horror filmmaking in a short originally created for the 2010 Special Edition DVD. The video also includes behind the scenes footage featuring the rest of the DEMON RESURRECTION cast and crew, including a brief glimpse or two of yours truly...
