Dead Lantern » Outpost Doom

Tentacles infesting IMDB….

MaT — Tue, 11 May 2010 19:41:01 +0000

Hey look! Outpost Doom is slowly making its way onto the Internet Movie Database! Long time readers will know it took us 5 years to get The Grand Horror listed.

The DVD was supposed to be ready this month, but of course, we never meet our deadlines. So maybe next month…or the month after…who knows?

Also, Deejay wants you to know that The Grand Horror is available for 2 bucks on Amazon. Just like Charles Band, we’ve discovered some unsold original TGH DVD’s that were hanging out inside a musty old trunk underneath the stairs of Spooky McPhee’s haunted mansion. There’s been talk of bundling them with OD, or maybe taking them to Horrorhound Weekend in November where we might have a DL booth set up.

Some of you may know that we are prepping a new film this summer. It’s actually going to link the events of TGH and OD into our mythology. Whereas both of those films took place after the darkness event, our new film will take place before, during, and immediately after and will include characters and locations from the first two films to give you a bigger sense of what exactly is going on with all the monsters running around the greater world at large. All of this will be wrapped around the coolest slasher film you’ve ever seen. More info on that in the coming weeks….

Big things are on the horizon from Dead Lantern Pictures!

Outpost Doom reviewed on The Dark Hours Podcast

MaT — Tue, 16 Feb 2010 17:29:04 +0000

Eric from The Dark Hours Podcast was kind enough to take a look at our latest film, Outpost Doom. The whole show is dedicated to low budget indie horror and we’re the second film reviewed.

Special thanks and shoutout to Eric for the review, we appreciate it!

check it out right here.

Outpost Doom and The Grand Horror reviewed on Horrorphilia

MaT — Fri, 12 Feb 2010 21:06:33 +0000

Everyone knows about Horrorphilia‘s upcoming loss to us in the Wishmaster Cast Battle, but what you probably don’t know is that, well, they actually exist. That’s right, we’re not making it up, it’s an actual “podcast”. I know, you all that it was just a dumb joke we were playing on you. We decided a while back to steal their 3 listeners by allowing them to review Outpost Doom. Because they need the spotlight on their shitty podcast, and the fact that they are like hungry dogs begging for our table scraps, they decided to dedicate an entire show to us. Yeah, that’s right, in the midst of our battle, they felt the need to slurp us with free press (bad publicity is still good publicity!).

Their show is up now.

I’m not going to listen to this episode because no Texan or Swede is even qualified on any level to discuss horror, so why bother? But there it is for those of you who are curious.

I notice in the show notes that they claim to read an “e-mail” from me. That’s weird, cuz I just got one from Borp and Gonzo that I’m going to read on next week’s show….

Oh, and Deejay is all about capitalism (except when he’s being a socialist and funding our moviemaking adventures at a loss) and wants me to remind all of you that you can rent The Grand Horror, or buy it, from Amazon.com

P.S. Look at this…could it be?

Outpost Doom: The DVD extras

MaT — Mon, 25 Jan 2010 22:21:02 +0000

I’ve been battling a nasty stomach virus today, but rather than waste it, I’ve been doing something productive: finalizing the DVD extras for Outpost Doom.

Here is a list of finalized extras. The only thing that will change is a possible extra Easter egg, or two:

Barn Harder: The Making of Outpost Doom
To Peoria and Beyond: Outpost Doom at the Drunken Zombie Film Festival
5 Deleted Scenes w/ Director Commentary
Director’s Commentary
Director, Producer, Actor (MaT, Deejay, Steve) Commentary
Photo Gallery
Original Treatment for Outpost Doom
Trailer
One ridiculously funny Easter egg where an adorable Steve yells at me

That’s a pretty stacked DVD, right? The documentary, deleted scenes, and featurette add up to over an hour of additional footage and if you still can’t get enough, the commentary tracks should keep you busy. I actually despise Easter eggs, but this particular one is so funny and embarrassing that I want you to have to work to find it

We’re shooting for an April DVD release. Odds are it’ll be $9.95, or something. All proceeds go towards our next film which we are currently writing. It’s going to be an anthology.

Outpost Doom: The Adobe Premiere Timeline

Deejay posted this swell screenshot of the Outpost Doom Premiere timeline on facebook. I thought some of you might get a kick out of it.

See all that? That’s to make the movie better

Some Outpost Doom stuff

Some screengrabs from the recently finished Outpost Doom.

Last pic will give you an idea of the color version vs. black & white. It definitely changes the feel of the film.

We’re done. T.J. is currently at work on the key art. DVD will hopefully be out by the end of April.

Watch out for owls…

Video Journal from Peoria

I’ve just posted a 36 minute video of our adventures to the Drunken Zombie Film Festival. It’s chock full of road footage, interviews with filmmakers such as the Italian Zombie Movie guys (and gal), Drunken Zombie guy footage, and last but not least, you’ll get to see some sneak peak Outpost Doom footage.

What’s not to love?
