1st Anniversary and Traumatic Possession 4!

A year has past and I look back at Traumatic Possession 3D: The Tape being a turning point in my life. I am where I am at in life. I've essentially gone through and cut out what I wanted too in the original theatrical cut for the film and I'm getting everything set with the alternate footage. And, I am announcing Traumatic Possession 4! Actually, it's not a fourth film, I am splitting up Traumatic Possession 3D: Hawai'i into two films. I am going to be bumping Traumatic Possession 3D: Apocalypse back to 2016. TP3D:A is one that I really want to make, but, I need a budget. This makes ten Traumatic Possession films; after TP3D:A, we're going to take a hiatus on the series and Simon Lange probably won't be back until 2025.

Post-Production Shuts Down on "Into the Madness". Mother Nature is a Bitch!

Happy 2014 to all. I hope that you are all having a much better time than I am. Plans to go out and film Dr. Bob and everything for the one year retrospect were shit canned by the fact that Dr. Bob's show has been cancelled at the Grandview Theatre. We're trying to figure something out and I hope that I can keep my plans of having Dr. Bob and his assistant Nurse Feratu involved in the documentary. After all, they have given me my break in terms of getting a theatrical release. My film would probably still be nowhere with me spazzing out about getting it done.

Now, this is where shit hits the fan, winter has slammed Ohio hard. On Monday, January 6th, we have experienced - 40 F weather. I decided to walk to work which is just down the road to my house, that was a horrible walk and I begin to get the first signs of frost bite which is known as "frost nip" in my legs. I am ok. My body is fine. However, with the temperature being this below zero, my pipes have frozen!

After I had gotten home from work on Monday, I decided to take a nap because my legs were still somewhat numb after eight hours of running around at work. I got home after 5:30 pm and texted a lady friend and took a nap. I woke up at 10 pm and decided to go to the bathroom. I flushed and noticed that the water did not completely come up to where it's supposed too. I soaped my hands up and turned on the sink and nothing. I opened my closet in the bathroom and checked the water heater and it's fine.

After making some phone calls and the fact it was getting colder, I actually went out and pulled out several pieces of my trailer skirting and went under my trailer to search for the cat and finally yank him out from where he's been hiding. However, he was not there, which happens from time to time and I hope he's safe and warm.

So, now, I am not at home. If one of the water pipes inside my home happens to burst, I am up a certain creek without a paddle. I unplugged my television and my equipment and pulled out and moved all of my celluloid prints. While my film prints are things and can be somewhat replaced, they are too valuable to be destroyed! So, nothing is getting done, at all! Things are at a stand still. My luck is shitty so far. I hope this streak can end and I can get the film completed by the end of the month.
