Demonic Creature Double Feature

Join us -- IN PERSON -- for a pot luck and two shoestring productions with fun creature effects produced the old-fashioned way -- via puppets, makeup and stop motion.

Empire of the Dark
1991 / 1 hr 36 min / color
"A private detective searching for a killer comes across a satanic cult from another dimension, monsters called up from hell and murderous ninja assassins."-- IMDb
Lead actor Steve Barkett also wrote, directed and coproduced the film. The two credited visual effects artists went on to achieve notoriety on major films. In fact Robert Stromberg won 2 Oscars for art direction (but not for this movie)! Dawn Wildsmith, who plays Madame Oleska, appeared in numerous independent genre films, such as Evil Spawn, Jack-O and Surf Nazis Must Die.

Frostbiter: Wrath of the Wendigo
1995 / 1 hr 24 min / color
"Two reckless hunters break a sacred circle, unleashing a wendigo. After it kills most of their group brutally, a woman and a foolish gunman must stop the creature."-- IMDb
Director Tom Chaney was also the film's coproducer, co-writer, cinematographer and co-editor.
