Just when you thought it was safe to wear underwear again, here I am with another ALTERED: BEHIND THE SCENES video!
I have these sitting on my computer so I decided to put them up. What the hell? It's just two minutes of your life.
Here is a glimpse into the exciting first few days of production.
I'll be putting up more of these in the next few weeks. I bet you can't wait!
Have a good weekend.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
So the DVD has been out three weeks and things are going relatively well. The word on the street has been pretty positive. A lot of good reviews, some personal calls from a few horror aficionados telling me how much they liked the film, some shitty reviews but we won't mention those...
I think a lot of people are digging the film and there hasn't been as much BLAIR WITCH backlash as I thought there was going to be. I'm actually getting a lot of messages from people that hated BW and like ALTERED a lot. A lot of support about the whole STRAIGHT-TO-DVD deal. Overall, we're feeling a lot better than we did last year at this time.
Only consistent complaints are about the shitty extras on the DVD, which I have to say is a disappointment to us, too. We talked to UNIVERSAL about putting all the BTS videos and a commentary on the DVD but it wasn't meant to be, folks. Let's just say that if we hadn't provided the deleted scenes for them so quickly they wouldn't have been on there, either.
For ALTERED and BLAIR fans alike, Mike Williams and I did a pretty good interview for KILLERREVIEWS that is up here:
Be sure to listen to the end to hear us stumble around trying to come up with our favorite horror films of 2006! What a couple of turds we are! We can't name ONE good horror film from this year! What the hell is the matter with us? Can somebody clue me in to that?*
*Please note that both Mike and I have two small children at home and have to wait for DVD to see most movies. Both THE DESCENT and SLITHER (which I heard are great) are waiting for me at home right now courtesy of NETFLIX.
There's also a nice little write-up in this month's FANGORIA. A few more interesting links below.

In the meantime, the marketing blitz continues for ALTERED. It seems like you can't open a magazine, watch a TV show or visit a website these days without seeing some kind of ad for this film! It's crazy, I tell you!!! Crazy!!!
Anyway, on to the next one! Or next ones. More on that later!
Peace to all your mothers and fathers.
