About

This remains the most popular film on the site…some kind of gimmick with the title! This is a 35 minute fan film pitting 1984's darkest villain against 1984's funniest heroes. When I first decided that this is what I wanted to make, it was originally going to be a 5 minute film that was just a fight scene. But, the script just kept on getting longer and longer, eventually evolving into what it is now. We spent about a month on 10 drafts of the script, and about two months filming here and there--every other weekend, a Wednesday night here, a Friday afternoon there; whenever we had the time to get everyone together, we filmed. This movie was shot for around $500.00USD!, and features my first attempt at a lot of different visual effects. With the help of friends, we were able to secure various locations, which saved us money. Another big reason it didn’t cost much was because I already had a lot of the props from previous Halloweens, etc. A good bulk of the budget was spent on building the set we destroyed in the final battle.

It's a goofy idea, but it’s fun to watch. I cut the first trailer on February 27th, 2004 with only four days of shooting in the can. I had to keep pushing back the release date because I was also working on other (failed) projects, so I released another trailer in April 2004 to help hold people over. Of course, I made the mistake of putting a release date at the end of the second trailer. "Setting a release date is Fan Film death", or so I was told by a certain TF.N moderator! When all was said and done, the film was available for download one hour after the release date had passed. Eh-whatta ya want for nothin'?
