Intro Written By: Ken HulseyPress Release By: Margaret Bryant
Earlier this week I broke the story about a great independent horror movie that is set to begin production in the metropolis that is Lawton, Oklahoma, called "Terror From The Trees: Mr. Fluffenstein's Rampage". A sweet little film about a bunch of squirrels that go bonkers and start destroying stuff. You know, kinda like "Night Of The Lepus" crossed with the scene in "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" where the little critters get rid of Veruca Salt.
At this point, the folks over at JuJu Productions are keeping the story hush-hush, so we don't know why the squirrels are so pissed off, but I have heard talk about 'stunt squirrels' and a squirrelzilla costume, so there are reasons to get excited about this one.
This afternoon the first casting news for the film was beamed directly from 'The Sooner State' to the media. Here is the contents of that transmission:
Hugo Rite, "A Man of 1000 Faces," approached JuJu Productions early this morning about signing on to their newest cinematic endeavor, TERROR FROM THE TREES. "I heard about this project and knew I had to be a part of it," said Mr. Rite. We cannot confirm the story yet, but rumor has it Mr. Rite is willing to work for scale, if given approval over the final script and assurances that he will have no intimate contact with any of his squirrel co-stars. It is unclear whether JuJu, long known for retaining complete autonomy over their projects, will be willing to accept these conditions, even considering the super-star-power of Mr. Rite.
Now to be honest, I've never heard of Hugo Rite, and my attempts to search Google about him turned up zero results, so we will just have to be satisfied with the "Man of 1000 Faces" and "Super-Star" titles used in the press release.

Until recently, Mr. Rite, not unlike Cher or Madonna, preferred to be a one-named entity. Search "Hugo Man of a Thousand Faces" and you'll find him.
ReplyDeleteAh, I get it. Hugo is a doll!
ReplyDeleteHere is the info via Wiki:
Hugo: Man of a Thousand Faces, was a doll created by Alan Ormsby, and produced by Kenner toy company in 1975. The Hugo doll looked like a puppet, and came with a makeup kit, wig, glasses, and several different glue-on disguises. It was featured on The Pee-wee Herman Show, and Uncle Floyd's variety show.
What, were Mrs Beasley and the "Six Milion Dollar Man" busy?
I'm starting to wonder if there will be any real people in this one?
Sounds like a hoot regardless.
