As Steve has been busy submitting All Bad Things to various festivals, it was down to me to knock out an official poster. Natch, I went for retro…
Incidentally: ABT will be screened at the second annual Grindhouse Planet Film Festival.
All Bad Things: Cast & Crew Screening
Incidentally, today is my birthday. Don’t ask.
Last night, we had our cast & crew screening for All Bad Things, plus the two Club Vamporama shorts “Who Is Bette Noir?” and “Hail Cthulhu!”, plus we screened some early footage for the Terror at Bell’s End trailer.
We drafted in our good friend & talented author/performer, Jasper Bark, to MC the proceedings, which was held at the Victoria, Birmingham city centre. I think overall the night went very well and we had most of the cast & crew from our various projects there (although we dearly missed Dru and Lizzie, who couldn’t make it).
The evening kicked off with the superb local actor, William Hayes (with whom we are planning to work very soon), giving a stirring rendition of Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Tell-Tale Heart”.
After the screening of “Who Is Bette Noir?”, Jasper interviewed Jude herself, Melyza Fay.
Following the main event, All Bad Things, Jasper quizzed the main cast—Demelza O’Sullivan, Liam Woon and Sham Zaman.
To complete the evening, Jasper himself performed his infamous short story, “Taking the Piss”!
All Bad Things: It’s A Wrap
The final bits of shooting & full editing on All Bad Things has just been completed, and only a shade before midnight, ahead of the cast & crew screening (which is actually later tonight).
This involved filming a bit of last-minute gore FX which featured my arm! More on the screening soon.
Terror At Bell’s End Shoot #2
Followup to this post. Here are a couple of photos from the Friday, October 20th shoot… for both shoots, the interiors were done at the house of Blake Woodham… Blake & Family patiently allowed us to makeover two separate rooms 1986 style—for which we offer profuse thanks & appreciation.
Here’s Melyza Fay with Sham Zaman, in our faux 1980s Psych consultation office…
And here’s a group pic post-shoot, featuring Steve, Sham, Me and Melyza. This came out a lot more weird & sinister-looking than anyone intended, but what the hey.
Terror At Bell’s End Frames
Here are a few frame grabs from the unedited, ungraded footage from Wednesday’s Terror at Bell’s End shoot, featuring Steve Green and Melyza Fay.
Terror At Bell’s End Shoot #1
Yesterday, we shot the first scenes for our faux grindhouse trailer, Terror at Bell’s End. We’re shooting more tomorrow (Friday), with hopefully the last scenes being completed on Sunday. Here’s a couple of on-location shots, featuring star Melyza Fay with co-stars Steve Green and John Messer…
(And yes, this is set in the 1980s.)
In Conversation With… Demelza O’Sullivan
New interview where All Bad Things star Demelza O’Sullivan discusses her role in our short film, plus acting in general!
(With apologies for radio silence. Much more stuff shortly.)

Terror At Bell’s End 2
Further to previous post, here’s a quick model sheet of one of our characters!
Terror At Bell’s End
It’s a new project! Although, it has its roots a few years ago. (More on that some other time.) A filmy type project. A grindhouse thing. And it needs a suitable poster… hence, raw lineart for part of the poster design, hot off my drawing table.
