4th Floor Pictures has just finished there latest film titled THE SOUL TAKER. This short will be included in the up and coming flick "TALES FOR THE MIDNIGHT HOUR", which should be out in late Nov.
-------------------
Lurid Entertainment's Wayne Alan Harold recently said he was "very close to signing a deal with Troma to get the rights back to KILLER NERD and BRIDE OF KILLER NERD. Unfortunately, Troma had been running a 'Re-release a Troma Classic' poll on their website, letting fans choose which six currently unavailable flicks would be represented. And of course, KILLER NERD won, coming in at NUMBER ONE! The lesser-seen (but much better) BRIDE was number five on the list. Both should be coming from Troma by the end of the year.
"Rats.
"Oh well, we STILL have SON OF KILLER NERD on the way. Shooting now starts this coming spring.
"Also, I've cut the TOWNIES price down to $19.95 on the site."

MURDER BY SIBLING is now available from W.A.V.E. Productions. Barbara Joyce stars in the tale of sibling betrayal when Barbara's sister plans her murder! This is Barbara's first fully nude video for W.A.V.E. Also coming this weekend is STRANGLED CONS/DEATH BY QUICKSAND, two separate stories of death and murder. Photos from MURDER and DEATH BY QUICKSAND can be accessed at the IN DIRE STRAITS CLUB. W.A.V.E's web site will be undergoing a new look soon. A new section called W.A.V.E.'S FATAL FEMALES will be added which will feature backgrounds on our femme fatales. First up will be W.A.V.E.'s first Scream Queen, Clancey McCauley. Following her will be Tina Krause. This section will contain nudity and rare photos from the early years of W.A.V.E. and stills from our numerous videos. It will be gradually added to over time. Look for it within two weeks.
W.A.V.E. celebrates its 13th year this month. When we began all this it was just for the fun of it. We never would have guessed that we would become one of the biggest underground B-movie companies around. And we plan to be around for at least another 13 years. We're only hitting our stride. We appreciate all the input we get from our viewers. It helps us produce what you want to see. And that's what it's all about.
Look for a lot of new titles to come out over the next 6 moths to a year. We have a backlog of over 20 titles waiting to be edited and released. And at least 5 of those star, or at least feature, Tina Krause in roles that she completed prior to the year 2000.
We will once again be attending Chiller in October and we'd like to see you. Drop by the table and say hi. Pamela Sutch and Laura Giglio will be there. And a couple others may stop by as well. See you there.
New photos have been added to the IN DIRE STRAITS CLUB featuring shots from MURDER BY SIBLING starring Barbara Joyce, and THE JACUZZI STRANGLER starring Barbara, Dean Paul, and Elizabeth Malangone.
The WAVE web page will be undergoing a change in the next few weeks. We're going to be adding a section called WAVE'S FATAL FEMALES which will highlight our many actresses who have done such a great job over the years. We will also be adding a section that will contain more photos and will contain some nudity. Look for these changes soon.

Gmp's new project anounced. We've decided against suggestions to make Blunt Justice 2, that we should go with a cop drama script I began writing in a class of mine. The Long Walk Home, starring Rich Evans is a gritty police drama about an undercover cop previously involved in criminal activities, who has new found moral objections and decides to wage war on the corruption in his department. This film will begin shooting very soon.
Oranges: The Movie is available for purchase if anyone is wondering.
Tape release in somewhat near future....... You may or may not have noticed, but I have taken the GMP Volumes off the order page. This leaves only the features? Where are all these shorts you ask? Well they are currently in the secret GMP underground laboratories being assembled into a 2-hour super-volume. This tape will contain new shorts, remastered old ones, and an Oranges out take reel/behind the scenes special. Stay tuned for the release of the super volume!

You may remember some time ago that Tempe Video announced that Lance Randas had directed & edited a 35-minute featurette called TWICE THE FUN for the foreign version of Surrender Cinema's LOLIDA 2000. It appeared that it would never get a release in this country...until now! We are happy to announce that TWICE THE FUN is making its debut on the special edition DVD of Surrender's NOANGELS.COM, coming September 26th (not so ironically, the same day as our WITCHOUSE: BLOOD COVEN!). Tempe fans will be able to order the disc from us soon, which stars Chuck Williams (HORRORVISION co-producer) and Brandy Davis (PLEASURECRAFT) as well as loads of cameos from pals like Don Adams & Harry James Picardi (SLEEPWALKER), Gabriel Shayne (LIP SERVICE) and Scott Phillips (DRIVE screenwriter). Also look for a special cameo from the old HUMANOIDS FROM ATLANTIS mask.

The following is taken directly from the Twisted Illusions Website.
It looks like it's confirmed: director Tim Ritter is collaborating again with Kevin Lindenmuth in a follow-up to Lindenmuth's ALIEN AGENDA trilogy. The new trilogy, due sporadically in 2001, is called THE ALIEN CONSPIRACY.
Ritter is writing/directing a thirty-minute segment in the grand tradition of his RANSOM segment, shot in 1996. Once again, Joel D. Wynkoop is participating and may star in the segment, if schedules permit.
The script has already been completed by Ritter and is called PROTECTORS OF TERROR. It deals with conspiracies, double-crosses, alien traps, heavy metal, and plenty of Ransom-style action. Rumor has it that Ritter is searching for locations now, and may be looking at some rugged terrain far from civilization, way up in the mountains of Tennessee, where EVIL DEAD was shot!
Shooting should commence no later than November 2000. We'll keep you posted here, and even plan to put up Ritter's screenplay for the segment soon (providing Brimstone Productions approves).
As for DIRTY COP 2, a late 2000 release is pending and Part 3 is already in preproduction. The word on Ritter's novel is not as positive. Although publishers have praised the writing style, the "content," which features school violence, has been a sticking point. Ritter says he may go the self-published route in 2001 or 2002. Meanwhile, he's outlining yet another book
Got some great news for all of you, but can only tell you this for now: Dirty Cop 2: I Am A Pig is slated for a November release, probably following Ron Bonk's Strawberry Estates.
