Earlier this month, it was announced the companies had acquired several deleted scenes from the sequels (released in 1994 and 1997), which will be making their premiere within the doc as well as appear separately for the special features. To give a teaser, writer Chris MacGibbon has shared a never-before-seen alternate version of Mouse’s nightmare… featuring extended & uncut effects designed by Steve Johnson (Ghostbusters, An American Werewolf in London)!
You can tell this is an early cut as the sound effects are missing, but with the camera lingering on the gore, it amounts to a pretty damn gruesome scene!
Now, the doc is being crowdfunded through Indiegogo. A healthy portion of the budget has already been raised, but the guys are still looking to secure the necessary funds to complete the project. Perks for donating include limited edition posters, T-shirts, DVD/Blu-Ray combos, producer credits… and recently, the campaign been updated to include two superb, original art pieces from Juan Jose Saldarriaga, which you can see to the right!
A number of cast & crew interviews have been shot with more still in the cards… including writer/producer Joe Augustyn (Night of the Demons, Night of the Demons 2), director Brian Trenchard-Smith and actor Johnny Moran (Night of the Demons 2), director Jimmy Kaufman and actress “Lois” actress Tara Slone (Night of the Demons 3)… plus a few others that are being kept under wraps for the time being.
