It's called "The Dead Matter" and is being filmed in and around Mansfield, Ohio...particularly the infamous Mansfield Reformatory. It should be finished filming in a week or so.

What's really exciting though is that it stars Tom Savini! Unfortunately, they won't let you get close enough to the Reformatory to see any of the stars.

Jealous, much?

also has Andrew Divoff in it...hes a very underated actor...he was the guy in the wishmaster movies..you shoulda tried to be an extra

I would've loved to be an extra...but unfortunately, I didn't know about the movie until a few days ago.

yea i always eanted to me an extra in a horror movie..i wouldnt really want a big part..just get bloodied up and killed

Tom Savini eh?... It could go either way. He's good when he gets good material to work with, and a decent cast and crew, but sometimes he's just plain aweful. I'm thinking Children of the Living Dead here, but that wasn't really his fault, and he certainly did much better than all the other actors in the film combined.

He's almost like the Bela Lugosi of our time. He just doesn't have the accent. Still we can always hope for the best here.

Well, you know something? This is totally true: Jumanji filmed that famous scene where the elephant crushes that car in a town less than 2 hours away from where I live.

Of course, I was only about 11 at the time, so nobody told me anything about it. It's just cool.
