We used this snow day to take peer critiques and finish a second draft of an upcoming horror crossover. Let's hope the horror stays on the page and not from the storm (there are power outages around town). Stay safe ☃️
Check out Pablo Lopez/Dark Mind’s new movie!
A lone camper makes a skeletal acquaintance and learns that everybody matters to somebody. Content advisory: this film discusses the topic of su***de and has...
“I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream” by Harlan Ellison (1967). It’s misogynistic to it’s only female character. It’s also an interesting take on A.I. If you can get past the awful narrative voice calling the Ellen character awful things it’s a despairing read

CASTING CALL: “Untitled Urban Legend Project” (Non-Union)
Crescent Skull Cinema is casting small featured roles (any age/race) in a mockumentary about an urban legend involving a witch in the woods.
To apply, send a headshot and a short video (1-2 minutes) ad-libbing a story about an imaginary paranormal experience that you had OR sharing a paranormal experience that a friend or loved one had that you are skeptical about (hypothetical scenarios). Submissions can be emailed to [email protected] and are due by SUNDAY JANUARY 7th at Noon.
Compensation ~ $10 for a 10 minute faux-interview
Synopsis ~ A tragedy after the homecoming dance bears striking similarity to a popular local urban legend. The events are chronicled in a series of police interviews, home videos, and a student’s class project. This takes place in the 90’s, so the final project will be 4:3 aspect ratio and wardrobe will reflect the times
When/Where ~ Portland, McMinnville, and the surrounding areas. Filming will be done on weekends throughout January and February around actor availability within reason.
The Golden Skully Awards are here! I present you with a series of troll edits, aWaRd ShOw HuMoR, and the return of Tony the Bear. In all seriousness though, I wanted to show my appreciation for the actors and crew that helped make all of my movies over the past two years.
The 1st (*and probably only*) Annual Golden Skully Awards
The votes are in!
