HAPPY HALLOWEEN 2026: "SCARIEST MOVIE: CHAPTER ONE"

In 2001, my brother Brandon, his friend Aaron Klinkradt, and I made a short Comedy-Action-Horror film. Its s+lightly in the vein of Scary Movie but done with a little less parody (I think!?!). The series follows Mathew, played by Aaron Klinkradt, who hangs out most days/nights watching TV alone in his basement. All he wants to do, is that, but someone else has other plans for him on this particular evening.

This one was shot run-and-gun and written on the fly in a single night, all in the comfort of our parent's basement. Since we were also shooting a Scream Fan Film concurrently we had a large supply of masks, including one from years before Scream even came out (:)). So for this one, we had a subtle gag where we changed the mask constantly throughout. This was in reference to the first Scream doing the same due to its re-shoots and mask changes. We thought it was funny, and we returned to this gag years later and gave it some reason in the Third entry. The remastering of the other Chapters are still in progress but this one was ready in time for the Halloween Holiday this year.

INTO THE WOODS [Special VHS Edition]: NOW ON YOUTUBE!

Into the Woods (2008) has been recreated using a fully analog workflow with the supervision of the film’s original director, David Zimmerman III.

The process began with the original UHD ProRes HQ master file pulled directly from our archives, ensuring the highest possible source fidelity. From there, the film was cropped to its natural 4:3 framing, echoing the way it would have been experienced on a CRT television in the 1990s. That master was then recorded onto new, genuine Sony S-VHS tape stock using in-studio analog equipment, introducing the authentic texture, softness and imperfections of magnetic tape. Once recorded, the footage was played back on a Sony broadcast-quality S-VHS deck and captured directly from the VHS source (on-screen play icon purposely included) through a professional time-based corrector and capture device, preserving every instance of tracking noise, color shift and analog degradation exactly as it occurred in the physical media. Finally, the analog capture was upscaled to HD and mastered into a new ProRes HQ file, balancing modern clarity with the unmistakable character of VHS. Every imperfection is real. No digital simulation. No stylistic effect. Just true VHS.

Of course, the original, full HD version of the film is still available on Tubi, Apple, Amazon Prime Video and more. Go to https://tenthirtyonepictures.com/into... for the full list of availability.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN 2025: A SCENE FROM OUR DEFUNCT FAN FILM "MORTAL KOMBAT: ELECTROCUTION"

In the mid to late nineties we were shooting a Mortal Kombat Fan Film concurrently with our Kid Rangers movie, various music videos, and several other projects.

The first Mortal Kombat project that we did was just a trailer. We shot it on the morning after seeing the first Mortal Kombat movie in the theater. It was like our very first 'proof of concept' video. We had a lot of fun shooting it and showed it to other kids in the neighborhood, which often convinced them to be in the next one. Eventually we started shooting "Mortal Kombat Movies" on a more regular basis, which were mostly fight montages set to music. These would feature as many characters as we had made the suits for. Late in the game, we decided to start writing and shooting additional scenes, to use as connective tissue, with plans to eventually edit a good amount of the material together into a feature length movie. As we got better at "making movies", we also shot more fights but as full scenes. This is one of those full scenes. Re-discovered, cut, and brought to life this month in honor of Halloween. So please travel with me back to Metamora, IL in 1998, into The Pine Street House side yard. I proudly present to you - Johnny Cage Vs. Smoke.

 HAPPY HALLOWEEN 2025!

FUBAR: Season 2 "Dance Sequence"

A fun but challenging sequence to put together in season 2 was in the third episode "Tango and Smash". It features a full-on dance number intercut with a fight scene. On one side we have Emma Brunner (Monica Barbaro) dancing with Theodore Chips (Guy Burnet), to the lovely tune "Dance with Me" from The Old 97's (who actually appear as themselves performing the song in the scene!). The other side of the scene sees Luke Brunner (Arnold Schwarzenegger) and Greta Nelso (Carrie-Ann Moss) taking on a handful of mercenaries in a nearby loft apartment.

Watch the sequence from Season 2 HERE, and then check out the whole episode "Tango and Smash" on Netflix!
