PAST NEWS & EVENTS


April 2004 News Archive

What's happened in the Light & Dark universe

April 28, 2004 -- There is lots of new stuff on the site.  Brittney Evans and Kerri Taylor, the future stars of Fairview Falls make their Light & Dark debut in the Anatomy of Horror 4:  The Making of a Horror Photo Shoot.  Singer/songwriter David Aaron joins us with two songs that will be used in Fairview Falls and Sins of the Father.  Finally, check out out latest reviews of The Tenement DVD from DVDTalk.com and Fangoria Magazine.  DVDTalk.com says that "The Tenement is the kind of DVD that makes most other special editions curl up in the fetal position and weep."  And Fangoria says, "Baisley definitely has a love for the genre and an ambition for filmmaking.”

April 27, 2004 -- This past weekend we enjoyed one of the most successful convention appearances that we have done to date.  We broke our record for the number of movie copies sold compared to past events!  It was great seeing a lot of new and old faces.  Check out the pictures in the Hall of Fame.  It was a fun weekend of business and pleasure.  Saturday night Mike Lane reprised his Fear of the Dark Michael Jacobs role for a haunting pick up shot that will appear in the forthcoming Sins of the Father.  I'm happy to announce that actor Brett Fallon has joined the cast of Fairview Falls.  He will be playing Derek.  The script is getting closer to completion.  Casting should hopefully be completed soon as well.  The major problem right now is conflict schedules with the cast.  I'm working on that as well.  With The Tenement's continuing promotion it makes it all pretty tough.  There's a lot on my plate but as usual, I'll find a way to work it out.  Thanks to everyone who came down and supported us at Chiller.  We really appreciate it.

April 23, 2004 -- Check out the interviews & review by Film Threat and the DVD review by Fangoria Magazine!  Good stuff!  See for yourself why people are loving The Tenement this weekend at the Chiller Theatre convention where you can pick up a copy of the movie on DVD or VHS.

April 18, 2004 -- Yesterday's cast signing for The Tenement was a blast.  A number of us got together to sign some autographs and promote the movie's release.  Most of the pictures are up online now.  It was nice to see that the movie is renting well.  Copies were flying off the shelf as soon as they came back in from the night before.  Our next big promotional event, and last one for a while, is on April 23 - 25 at the Chiller Theatre convention in East Rutherford, NJ.  Click here for more info.  Cast and crew will be present.  There will be prizes and giveaways.  The coolest prize will be a replica of "The Gentleman" mask from The Tenement!  So come and join us and pick up a copy of the movie while you're at it!

April 14, 2004 -- The Tenement now has a new low price of $20.00 which includes shipping.  Order your copy today!   By the way, look for Kirk Larsen (Fear of the Dark's "Church Man") on history channel promos for Investigating History as the pirate Captain Kidd!

April 12, 2004 -- Tomorrow is the big release day!  And I'm not talking about Kill Bill Vol.1 :)  It's the street debut for The Tenement!  It's shipping now so order your copy right away.  See for yourself what the critics are raving about and calling a "horror movie made by a fan for fans."

"Boobs and a kill in the first five minutes—wonderful.”

"There is enough nudity and good looking girls to keep any fourteen year old boy busy for two hours.”

“Glen Baisley just kicks major ass and I am looking forward to seeing lots more flicks from this awesome director.”

With reviews like these, how can you go wrong?  So if there's one movie to blow your wad on (no pun intended) this week, buy The Tenement!

April 9, 2004 -- Today was a very cool day.  I received my first shipment of DVD/VHS of The Tenement.  It seemed like a dream to finally be holding the finished product in my hand.  This past Tuesday (April 6) marked the 2 year anniversary from when we first started shooting the movie.  Wow!  It's amazing how fast time goes by.  I'm pretty pleased with the final product.  The menus are nicely done.  I want to point out that there was a minor oversight on the disc.  The Movie Trailer and Gag Ending are uncredited in the menus.  They immediately follow the Light & Dark Publicity Tour.  That was made up for though by an extra Photo Gallery that Brain Damage Films put on the disc.  They made some interesting selections, some of which are not what I might have chosen but you know what they say - "don't look a gift horse in the mouth."  The extra photo gallery puts the total number of photos to over 100 and the running time for bonus materials now clocks in at an hour.  In the future we will post online for free a couple of last minute goodies that didn't make the DVD.  I want to give the audience the best experience possible.  Finally, for those of you who have preordered, we have already begun shipping.

April 8, 2004 -- Great news!  I was just recently informed that the first pressing of 1,000 DVDs for The Tenement have sold out.  No word yet on how many VHS have sold.  Also, read the North County News article that just came out promoting our upcoming cast/crew signing for The Tenement that will be held on April 17th.

April 7, 2004 -- Check out  the Dog Pile Review of The Tenement and Interview with writer/director Glen Baisley!
