This needs to happen, like right now. Wrestling legend
“Rowdy” Roddy Piper has battled aliens in John Carpenter’s classic The
Live and tackled giant mutant amphibians in Hell Comes to
Frogtown. (Why hasn’t he been in an Expendables
movie yet? You’re slipping, Stallone.) Now he’s getting set to take on the
Great Old One himself. Yeah, Roddy Piper is going to tangle tentacles with
Cthulhu in the short film Portal to Hell, but he needs your
help first.
Vivieno Caldinelli will direct, while Matt Watts handled the
script and will also co-star. Manborg director Steve
Kostanski is in charge of creating the Cthulhu effects. But they need funds to
help with the special effects, to make them as badass as possible, and that’s
where you come in.
Check out the description and then break out your check
book:
Jack (Roddy Piper) is a simple man with simple needs. Mostly he just needs to be left alone to read his book. It's a good book and he likes it, or at least he would if the tenants of the building he manages weren't so damn needy themselves. And it's not just blown fuses and clogged toilets here ... no, when the building power goes out the culprit is a pair of tenants opening a portal to hell in the basement. Does this count as building maintenance? Is battling the supernatural part of Jack's job description? Maybe not, but if Jack can't close the portal the entire building and - let's face it - the whole world is screwed.
I’m sad this is only going to be a short, but maybe it’ll be
one of those times where a short is successful enough that it gets turned into
a full-length feature, which definitely needs to happen in this case. Twitch is
backing this, and you can heck out their Indiegogo video below. Props for
including a clip from My Deadly Friend, that’s a good way to
win points in my book.
