Valentine's Day viewing. Posted 2/14/2007 by Chance
If you're up late enough tonight (or early enough tomorrow), you can catch Hide and Creep on the Sci Fi channel at 3 a.m. Eastern time.

And you can catch it again in March. I'll try to post another "news" item a little closer to that March date.

Hope you're all having a good Valentine's Day...



The Germans don't like Hide and Creep. Posted 1/12/2007 by Chance
At least this one doesn't. If I'm reading the Babelfish translation correctly, at least.

More importantly, Hide and Creep is for sale on DVD in Germany! Now I just have to figure out where to order a German edition...



Here we go again. Posted 12/7/2006 by Chance
I'll quit apologizing for the infrequent updates -- I guess I'm just not cut out for blogging. And I'll keep this one short. I just wanted to let you know that we're gearing up to start shooting a new feature soon. Real soon -- seems like I'm already behind, actually. If things go as planned, we'll have it done and show it somewhere before the end of 2007.

That's all I'll say for now. I'm planning to make a more "official" announcement in early January, after I have more details about the cast and crew.



Back on the Sci Fi. Posted 10/5/2006 by Chance
This is groovy. Looks like we're getting yet another late night encore on the Sci Fi channel -- Sunday October 8 at 3 a.m. Eastern time. So, if you still haven't seen the "TV Cut" of Hide and Creep, stay up late on Saturday -- or get up really early on Sunday -- and check it out.

Or just do like me and get your Tivo on.



Sci Fi shakeup. Posted 6/19/2006 by Chance
Looks like Hide and Creep won't be playing June 20 on the Sci Fi channel as originally scheduled. We did pick up two other screenings, though -- July 1 at 9 a.m. and July 6 at 3 a.m.

I know -- not exactly prime time hours. If you're not a TV early bird or night owl, set your TiVo accordingly.



(Fairly) recent interviews. Posted 5/26/2006 by Chance
A couple of online items you might want to listen to:

1) Chuck and I interviewed on Tapestry, a local Public Radio show.

2) Episodes 28 and 29 of In the Can, featuring a two-part interview with me.

Warning: the In the Can interview features a lot of talk about cameras, lenses, and other stuff that fascinates me but bores the heck out of most folks.



DVD note. Posted 5/19/2006 by Chance
If anybody out there is looking for a Hide and Creep DVD, I'd recommend going with DVDEmpire.com instead of the better-known Amazon.com. DVDEmpire has a much nicer price ($15.23), and they'll ship it "immediately." Amazon always seems to have Hide and Creep on backorder, so shipping from them is usually slow.

So, if you're gonna buy, buy it here. If you'd rather try it first, there's always Netflix.



H+C coverage at Revolution Science Fiction. Posted 5/11/2006 by Chance
In honor of Hide and Creep appearing on TV tonight, the guys at Revolution Science Fiction posted a nice article that features behind-the-scenes stories from a few members of the cast and crew. Do check it out.



Hurm. Posted 5/10/2006 by Chance
Just got back from doing an interview on NBC 13. I was pimpin' Hide and Creep, but managed to forget to mention the viewing party tomorrow night. I blame this oversight on being slightly hung over from last night's gig at Bailey's. Said viewing party is at Base Camp on Southside, Birmingham, May 11, 6 to 8 p.m. If you're in the neighborhood, stop by.

We've had a few other media/press appearances lately. As soon as I get a minute, I'll try to do a round-up piece on them.



TV Guide! Posted 5/9/2006 by Chance
TV Guide (it's not just a magazine, it's an institution) has picked Hide and Creep as one of its "Highlights" for May 11! Our small-town zombies are sharing a sweet two-page spread with the likes of CSI, My Name Is Earl, and ER. The issue is on newsstands now (Lost is on the cover), but here's a scan in case you can't find a copy.

Oh, yeah -- the page number? Sixty-nine, of course.



Log line. Posted 5/4/2006 by Chance
From the Sci Fi Channel's "Movies" page for next Thursday:

SCI FI PREMIERE: HIDE AND CREEP
When an army of undead rises from its graves to siege a small town
whose sheriff is away, a ragtag band of locals takes up arms to dish out
some Southern-style justice on the zombies.
Thursday, May 11, at 7/6C




This just keeps getting better. Posted 4/28/2006 by Chance
Latest "Hide and Creep on TV" news: we're getting a repeat!

According to the Sci Fi channel's online schedule, they'll be showing Hide and Creep on June 20 at 11 p.m. Eastern time. That's in addition to our broadcast televesion premiere Sci Fi screening on May 11 at 7 p.m. Looks like June 20 is some kinda zombie night on Sci Fi -- Hide and Creep follows Return of the Living Dead 3 and Dr. Uwe Boll's infamous House of the Dead.



Holy shit. Posted 4/10/2006 by Chance
Unless someone at the Sci-Fi channel is playing a cruel trick on us...

Hide and Creep is coming to basic cable.

Thursday.

May 11.

7 p.m. Eastern time.

What are ya waiting for? Get to TiVo-ing.



Netflix day. Posted 3/29/2006 by Chance
Well, actually, I guess that was yesterday.

Regardless, Hide and Creep is now available on Netflix. So, what are you waiting for?

Get over there and add it to your queue. And, if you want to do us a really big favor, ask your friends to do the same.



There's an arrow in my head. Posted 3/24/2006 by Chance
Arrow In the Head, the horror division of JoBlo.com, just posted a Hide and Creep review. The verdict? Arrow writer Ammon Gilbert calls the movie "a triumph."

For more, check out the complete review.



Coming soon to Netflix... Posted 3/14/2006 by Chance
Hide and Creep! Yes, our zombie comedy will be taking yet another step towards the big time on March 28 when it becomes available for rental via Netflix, the world's largest online DVD rental service.

Check out the Hide and Creep Netflix listing. And, if you're a Netflix subscriber who hasn't seen the movie yet, please add it to your queue.



The reviews keep coming. Posted 3/2/2006 by Chance
Hide and Creep music-master Eric McGinty sent me a link to a new review of our little zombie opus at The Horror Newsletter. The review is on page 14 of this PDF file , part of the Newsletter's archives. Reviewer "Creepy Kentuckian" rated the movie a 5 out of 5. Not too shabby...



All growed up. Posted 2/15/2006 by Chance
Hide and Creep is all growed up, at least as far as Hollywood Video is concerned.

Quoth Hide and Creep thespian/Hollywood-Video-inside-man Chris Garrison: "I've been meaning to mention, Hide and Creep dropped off the new release wall a couple weeks ago... You can now find the movie in the horror section, nestled comfortably between Hellraiser: Inferno and The Hills Have Eyes. So cool!"

So cool, indeed.



Rotten tomatoes. Posted 2/2/2006 by Chance
This is cool -- Hide and Creep is now listed at RottenTomatoes.com, king of the average-out-all-the-reviews websites (MetaCritic is the only other one I know of).

Only two reviews on out RT page so far -- both from HorrorChannel.com and both positive -- but it's a start.
