Topic: Deadlands Screening in Hagerstown

Today in my mailbox I received a letter from a good friend of ours Gary Ugarek who is the director of last years underground zombie hit Deadlands: The Rising (Review). I really dug this flick for its homegrown zombie sensibilities and if you are a fa...

Another screening of this flick that I'll have to miss.  sad

Re: Deadlands Screening in Hagerstown

Well you might not miss it all that much. If the theater draws a crowd, they said they would run the films again, possibly a 2 week engagement. I will keep you posted and of course I will be takins tons of video and pics.

I can't confirm this, but there appears to be a blurb about Deadlands in the current Fangoria Magazine. If anyone has it and fins it can you let me know what they had to say? Thanks.

Thanks Goon for the blurb here and on the main site. Your DVD will be going out tomorrow.

Re: Deadlands Screening in Hagerstown

Hope it does well.  If it becomes a several week run...I'll be sure to put in for a day off and hopefully get one as soon as I see the news.

Dj, I have my issue of Fango right now.  In their Upcoming DVD release section they have for Deadlands:

"Retail release of Gary Ugarek's feature that follows three different stories set in a city overrun by the undead.  With director and cast/crew commentaries, interviews and zombie short"

You're famous man...you're in Fangoria smile

Re: Deadlands Screening in Hagerstown

Thanks for posting the blurb. I saw the issue with the 28 Weeks Later infected dude on the cover and I forget the page number but there is a nice review in there, I read it tonight.

We sold 152 tickets to the show. Deadlands, drew more patrons in one showing than the studio films showing at the same time. We broke the theaters online ticket sales record, and the attendance for an indie film event. Previous record holder was Chainsaw Sally at 30 people.

There is a small photo montage here: http://forum.homepageofthedead.com/show … php?t=6105

You can see some of the event. There is pic of at least 30 cast members, so it was nice to know 122 people not involved with the film made their way out to check it out. It is 6am, I just got home so i will talk more about it tomorrow.

Re: Deadlands Screening in Hagerstown

Oh, the one I was looking at was the previous issue with Death Proof on the cover.  Haven't gotten the new one yet....buy my Fango off the stand.

Very nice pics.  That Grindhouse poster they got is the same one I got from my theater smile

Great pics, so sad I couldn't go.  Rather be there than cleaning up after teenagers.

I also noticed that article in Fangoria.  I'll be sure to order a copy as soon as I am able.

Re: Deadlands Screening in Hagerstown

Nope goon,

i had them printed up after I had seen the revision to the original artwork. I ask my distributor too make a 27x40 version of the background art. he sent me the template I added the credits and voila.

I sold one of those last night. They cost me $30 a piece and I charged them $30 for it and even signed it.
