My dupe of Within The Woods is so washed-out, distorted, and glitch-riddled it's almost not worth owning. Almost.

 


Well... I kinda got mine from "the source", if ya know what I mean! LOL!

Well Don, is there any truth in the rumour that Anchor Bay pulled it due to Synapse securing the rights...

:)

 


Hahaha! Uh, no... although it's been a while since I spoke to Sam... Hmmm.

That is killer! Looks like Bruce gets axed in the short film. I ahve never seen the short film is the storyline about the same as the finished product? You should talk to Sam. ;)

 


Here's the WTW story, in a nutshell...

Read along with the pics I posted.

RUNNING TIME: Around 29 minutes All the actors go by their real first names.

Four people are hanging out in a house near the woods: Bruce, Ellen, Scott (Spiegel) and some other girl... Laughing, talking, playing Monopoly and listening to disco music that Anchor Bay was forced to change in their version that now no one will ever see. Also, the porch swing is moving and slamming into the side of the house (like in ED).

Bruce and Ellen have a romantic (picnic) afternoon in the woods and Bruce finds some weirdo indian artifacts in the dirt. They sleep by a campfire and Ellen wakes up. Bruce is gone. There must be SOMETHING wrong because leaving a piece like Ellen laying there on a blanket all alone is not a "guy" thing to do.

Ellen goes to look for him and finds him dead and bloodied in the trees and is chased by an unseen force back to the house (kinda like Jamie Lee's scene in HALLOWEEN looking for her keys). Scott opens the door just in time.

They freak because Bruce hasn't returned. The other girl goes outside to shine a light out into the woods (cue stupid teenage horror stereotype here) and is picked up and stabbed in the neck by a bloodied zombified Bruce. YIPE! He steps outside with the body and chops it up with an axe in the moonlight. Let the "Join Us!"s begin... That's pretty much what Bruce goes around screaming for the remainder of the short as he terrorizes the teens.

Ellen grabs a nice huge sharp cutting implement and, wisely, starts carrying it around. Hilarity ensues as Ellen accidentally stabs Scott in the stomach and his body gets lodged between an open door (like in ED2).

She escapes Bruce, but he terrorizes her through the windows, in the cellar, etc. In one scene right out of PHANTASM, Ellen stabs at Bruce's hand as it is lodged between a door and its frame.

Open window! Whoopsie! Bruce is INSIDE THE HOUSE! ZOINKS!

In a really cool shot, he jumps up into frame and grabs at Ellen (obviously shot in reverse). She cuts his hand to free herself. Zombie-Bruce gets mad and chews his hand completely off.

She takes his severed hand (that is still clutching a knife) and stabs him in the back and then chops him up with a handy dandy axe on the couch. As she cries in the background... YIPE... the dead Scott now comes to life (sits up right in the foreground as scary music plays... insert meek girlfriend jump here). The short film ends on the creepily-smiling Scott and a rather unsettling music note on the soundtrack.

FIN

I certainly would love to meet some of you. Perhaps we could arrange a WITHIN THE WOODS screening at my place or something. You bring the pizza, I'll bring the beer... :)

My weekends can be a little crazy, but we can certainly work it out, I'm sure.

Maybe we can have weekend "sleazefests" like my friends in NYC still do!

 


I'm in Champaign, Don...just name the time and place
