Have you found yourself with an extra $20 after TCM cancelled your Halloween box set after their too-good-to-be-true sale? If you’re like me, you’re probably looking for a way to invest that money into some new quality horror.
Why not put that money towards a project that needs your help? We all know you are “that guy” that complains about the lack of original horror while being unwilling to support anything new so it is time to put your money where your mouth is.
Stephen Tramontana of Angry Mule Productions has written a film entitled Killer Piñata about a piñata that takes sweet revenge (their pun, not mine) for his slaughtered people.
Sound stupid to you? Good because it is supposed to! The Angry Mule team is very up front about the film having bad acting and horrible effects but it will be jam packed with fun. There is also a promise of boobs. Think on that.
According to their Indiegogo campaign, which you can find, and contribute to here, story came about when the group was thinking about getting a piñata for Executive Producer Nick Weeks’s birthday. Upon deep thought about the life of a piñata, being brutally beaten to death in order to fulfill ones desperate need of a sugar high, the group came up with the idea for the piñata to take revenge on those sugar hoarding murderers.
If you are curious about just who you would be investing money in, Steven Tramontana has worked on such SyFy Channel classics as Puppet Master vs the Demonic Toys, Man with the Screaming Brain, Raptor Island, Raptor Planet, Lightspeed, Alien Apocalypse and Xenophobia.
To me, this film sounds like it could be likened to the fun of straight-to-video classics such as Thankskilling or Jack Frost and YOU can make it happen.
