Ghost Hunt, Eye Candy and Jessica...

How-do all,

Even though it's two minutes to four, I have to be up in five hours to wrap Jenny Brook's day-time sequence before her big move to Australia on Sunday (sob), I only had approximately four hours sleep last night and I'm off to the opening night of The Warehouse Project tomorrow/tonight, here I am updating you on all the latest goings-on in the Torso universe, as I won't be able to catch up with you until Sunday now. I'm off dancing/drinking/waving glowsticks/fighting/having a fantastic time at Sankey's on Saturday too, you see.

There was something of a cast meeting on Wednesday, as Sarah, Rory and me went out for dinner as one of our pals, Sarah, is visiting from Austria. Whilst eating the sloppiest pizza I've ever eaten in my life (was duck and hoi sin sauce ever really designed for a cheese and tomato base), we managed to plan our final shooting night for Sarah's "library" scene, that you won't have heard mentioned (at least I don't think) so far in the blog (cor, there's far too much use of brackets in this post). Anyway, we've sorted out that night for a few weeks time in Manchester, and we've recruited an extra in the form of Chris Madden, who wanted in on the action when he realised 75% of his pals were in the movie already. I'm not 100% what I'll do with him yet, but we'll squeeze him in somewhere. After all, you can never have too many suspects in a giallo. GOOD TIMES.

Also, Rory proved that this movie has the best eye candy since - hmm, maybe Friday the 13th Part III: 3D (1982) by pulling a variety of lovely poses for the camera.


What a dish.

As for tonight, Jenny and I went out into Preston for a "historic murders" walk around the city sorta thing, which was kind-of like Most Haunted but less inside places and more in doorways. We found out some delightful horror stories about the town - including the Prestonian version of Bloody Mary, 'Bannister Doll' (GREAT name) - and that someone stabbed their husband to death in Naseeb's Tandoori House in 1906. I was paying more attention to the architecture in the town centre, and I'm desperate to get a shot of The Harris Museum in the movie (see left). Lit up at night, it really reminds me of the piazza where the blind fellow gets eaten alive by his guide-dog in Suspiria (1977)

Speaking of Dario, more on La Terza Madre (2008), which I checked out last weekend, coming up in the next couple of posts. Also, I've recently caught Let's Scare Jessica to Death (1971) and Che Sei? (1974) - opinions/general thoughts/inspirations are not too far away.

Anyway, it's 4.20 now, and I'm going to have Jenny knocking on my door wanting to wrap her scenes (after I've claimed the past four shooting sessions would be the FINAL shooting session) at 10am, so I best make tracks to bed.

Expect a similar incoherent, rambling post when I'm in my hungover state on Sunday. I've discovered some scenes I shot for the movie I'd almost forgotten about so I'll be filling you in on how they look then.


Just as a goodnight treat, here's another behind-the-scenes photo you might like. Shame they're not on reels... yet!
