While we were running movie-making amok at this year's GenreBlast Film Festival we were also lucky enough to cross paths with Jason Delgado, a terrifically talented actor, writer, producer AND artist (with a penchant for KILLER movie poster homages, who was awesome enough to make us this "American Werewolf in London"-inspired image from one of our most favourite scenes in ALL of Kill Giggles. Thank you Jason, so much, this is beyond badass!!

Greetings and salutations dear movie maniacs and film fanatics, we have missed you VERY MUCH!! We must apologise for being "incommunicado" these last five months, but we CAN promise you that we had the best reason why... because the cameras AND the clown heads are done rolling on Kill Giggles!!! The inmates running the asylum at Mad Ones Films have been running all kinds of amok the last four months doing location scouting, casting, meeting with FX and camera crew, character concepts, and paperwork... lots and lots of paperwork. We then spent 19 DAYS shooting our very first feature film at over 36 locations in and around North Carolina, and holy hells, do we have SUCH sights to show you! But don't take our word for it, check out the stills below!
We were also lucky enough to have several local newspapers cover various parts of the filming process! The Asheboro Courier-Tribune, The Greensboro News & Record, and The Winston-Salem Journal ALL devoted a lot of page space to the movie-making magic we made RIGHT HERE in our own backyard! We are extremely grateful for the time of all those involved in the articles, as well as the entire cast and crew for giving them so much to work with!!!
And on top of all that, we have some amazing film festival new to share with you as well. We are excited and delighted to announce that the stay-at-home horror/thriller, THE CORNER, is an offical selection at the inaugural Reel Horror Film Fest in Bloomingdale, IL this October!! Coming up before that will be the second festival appearance of WAR OF THE LIVING DEAD, which is not only an official selection of the GenreBlast Screenwriting Competition, but is also a FINALIST as well!!

We know we've been MIA for a spell, but we assure that we have the best reason for it... PRE-PRODUCTION!!! The inmates running the asylum at Mad Ones Films have been running six kinds of amok doing location scouting, casting, meeting with FX and camera crew, character concepts, and paperwork... lots and lots of paperwork. We are also running the clown-killing hype machine 24 hours a day by appearing at one of our favourite film festivals, the MystiCon Independent Film Festival, to spread the "Coming Soon" word!!!
We've been recording some behind-the-scenes brilliance with various cast and crew members of KILL GIGGLES whenever we have the chance, and today we've got a BRAND NEW interview to share with our Make-Up FX Director, the brilliant and the badass Mr. Joh Harp of Joh Harp FX, who comes up with some of THE BEST answers that we’ve gotten to our questions so far! As eloquent as he is elegant, sit down for a spell and spend some time with the WORLD PREMIERE of Joh's episode.

We apologise for the delinquency in delivering updates but we've extremely busy since PRE-PRODUCTION OFFICIALLY STARTED THIS WEEK!!
We are very excited to be working with Beth Compton, an excellent location scout/manager we've worked with before, as well as Rebecca Clark (director of the Piedmont Triad Film Commission) to find all of the absolutely amazing locations that we need for this film that are scattered all over this gorgeous state of North Carolina! The first block of filming will begin in mid-June so stay tuned for more pre-production updates as well as some final cast and crew announcements!!!
Kill Giggles is going to be an amazing film AND filmmaking experience. It's a story that has NEVER been told before, and that is a rare—if not downright impossible—feat in this day and age in ANY genre, let alone the exciting delighting cinematic cocktail that is thriller and horror!!! We've shown you lists of films and television shows that have done the same exact thing time and time and time again... over and over and over, with the serial killers/monsters/maniacs always dressing up like clowns to spread their murderous mayhem.
And then there's us over here at Mad Ones Films, and we want to do something COMPLETELY DIFFERENT, and we want YOU to join us!! If you've ever wanted to be a part of movie magic but just didn't know how, NOW is the time!!!
