About me:
Horror faves Judith O'Dea (Night of the Living Dead) and Brinke Stevens (The Slumber Party Massacre) reunite with Tina Ona Paukstelis (Aswang: The Unearthing), Darcey Vanderhoef (Bad Movie Police, Case #1) and most of the original cast members for a sequel to the indie success OCTOBER MOON, released by TempeDVD earlier this year. Filming began on July 9, 2006 for NOVEMBER SON under the direction of the original film's Jason Paul Collum and produced under his B+Boy Productions banner.
The thriller follows the surviving characters whose lives begin to intertwine with Eli, a new mystery man (musician Sacha Sacket) hiding a very dark secret of his own connecting him to the events of the first film. The talented Debbie Rochon and Lloyd Pedersen fill the roles of Eli's parents, plus appearances by Robyn Griggs (One Life To Live) and the original film's Jerod Howard ("Elliot") and Sean Michael Lambrecht ("Corin").
Collum promises, "...the sequel will be even darker in tone, and the horror will begin much earlier in the story, compared to the original, but will maintain the dramatic events and characterizations which pleased so many of the fans. There will be a bit more grue as well."
He also confirms the theme will be less in-your-face gay vs. straight-oriented, "...since I already covered that ground. Now it will simply follow characters of both orientations, whose personal sexuality has little to do with the events around them. The women actually become more of the focus this time, as they deal with their losses from the first bought of mayhem. Don't, however, rule out a few political references to our culture and the state of marriage equalilty, etc. I have to use my voice in some way....You'll laugh. You'll cry. You'll scream."
A 2007 summer release is expected. Additional information will be continuously updated at www.novembersonthefilm.com, as well as here on this MySpace page! Watch for more photos, cast interviews and a whole new site dedicated to the first gay-themed horror film franchise in history!
If you haven't caught the original OCTOBER MOON, copies are still available nationwide at various places (including their online sites) like Best Buy, Circuit City, Barnes & Noble, Roger's Video, Blockbuster, and more... or order direct from www.tempevideo.com.

BIG THANKS to webmistress Daina for getting the trailer and the page back on track! :-) Happy V.D.!!! And froanyone interested, go check out "Corin Buckman" on MySpace for more OCTOBER MOON/NOVEMBER SON fun!
Appologies to all for the disappearance of the trailer. Some big hearted person hacked into our code and ruined it. Our webmistress Daina is at work trying to undo the vandalism. Go to www.novembersonthefilm.com or onto You Tube if you want to see it.
Ok. It's safe to say that I'm in love with this trailer. I watch it waaay more than I should. I especially love the Sacha parts, the music choice (including scoring), and the Brinke coffin scene.
