The next few months are going to see some big changes in regards to the podcasts we do here at Dead Lantern. Long story short, Round Table and Cold Case Cinema will be on indefinite hiatus and the Splattercast will be sort of directionless. And DeadTrax and Explodey Files will probably continue in their infrequently posted manner.
Why? Well, if you care, I’ve posted why after the jump. If you don’t care, then go watch Episode 2 of Shivers Down Your Spine!
The second episode of Shivers Down Your Spine is up, starring Uncle Randy of Drunken Zombie! Take a look and then read my comments on it after the jump.
A big thanks to everyone that came out to the auditions we held for our upcoming feature length slasher film! We had a ton of fantastic performances. So many, in fact, that we were commenting on how difficult it was going to be to decide the major roles. But one thing we do know is this: we have our cast. Now it just comes down to making those tough selections, which we’ll have finalized in the next couple weeks.
Thanks again for making the audition a big success!
So a girl named SuperHeidi who I think used to run a website called Pretty/Scary, and now writes for a site dedicated to women filmmakers called Planet Etheria, wrote an article criticizing my selections of the Splatcademy Awards as being too male oriented. Essentially, the implication is that I may have intentionally whitewashed women from the awards….or something? It’s kind of ridiculous as the gender of a director is meaningless. A good horror movie is a good horror movie. Who cares if you have a cock or have ovaries? Anyway, thought you guys might be interested in some negative press we got.
I posted a response to her article in the comments section but I’ll repost it after the jump for anyone interested. I would please ask that nobody get the wild hair up their ass to engage in any flame war on DeadLantern’s behalf. If you must comment, please be respectful.
The time has finally come! The 5th Annual Splatcademy Award ballot is now Live!
Ballot will close on February 20th so you’ve got plenty of time to get some movie viewing in to make your informed decisions! Please feel free to spread the word and we’ll announce the winners on Splattercast #269, February 27th.
