Wounded Creature

http://www.kangaskahnfilms.com/ Kevin Kangas is head of Marauder productions and helped create the wicked film we took part in called "Wounded Creature." I have to be rather cryptic in the description of this film, as I was instructed to be in order to take part in it..Oooou scary premise eh? ;)
Ande and I began our journey into this dark realm by meeting up with the cast and crew in a rather creepy undisclosed location. We were a bit intimidated arriving outside the building in which we were to meet when taking in our surroundings. The area was on the dilapidated side, and a head of us we noticed a man yelling at a woman on the empty street along with a burned down area that we later found was a house just a few days before. (Fortunately for continuity's sake, the burned down house managed to stay afloat during the scenes filmed on that same street earlier on in the week!) So, anyway we crossed the street to avoid a potential classic case of being in the wrong place at the wrong time, and on the other side of the street was a guy with a face mask of which was almost completing obscuring his face. We stood looking around for a building number while edging away from this guy when he spoke. "Well you look like a couple of girls lost in a ghetto," he said. "Are you here as extras for 'Wounded Creature'?" We readily agreed, laughing all the while at these oddly placed events as we were ushered into an elevator equipped with an iron gate which looked in appearance like something out of a Vincent Price horror flick elevator leading to a torture chamber--pretty awesome.
Once upstairs, we hung out for a while, getting to know the cast, crew and other extras that had showed up. We were pleased to note that there were fewer extras there than we were used to which meant more potential screen time for us.
When we arrived on the set, we spent a few hours jumping out and racing full speed after an unlucky individual who was being rampaged by zombies,(us). Though we do work out we typically do not do any sprinting while chasing unsuspecting prey, so our legs and darkened circles reminded of our entertaining evening the next day at work.;)That night the fire dept. and police stopped by to scope out the scene and were surprised to find that- no that wasn't a real gun going off. I also found out that apparently this had happened before when the cops showed up on set for the same reason, only to simultaneously miss a legit gun shot going off only a block away! It was also an extra advantage that right above our scene that night, a chopper went by, seemingly right on clue, yet obviously unplanned as well. ;)
Since Ande and I had always wanted to take part in a horror movie, so we found our way to another location later that week to take part in the climatic and appropriately gory end scene of the film. Another perk was that I believe we will be mentioned as 'featured extras' for our part in this scene since we were two of only a small handful of background actors there. Well, that night,for a while Ande and I drove around in circles wishing we had a navigator, until one of the talented people behind "Wounded Creature", Jared, came and rescued us from our endless meandering down back roads. At the location where we arrived, Ande and I waited for our turn by interacting with the friendly people there and admiring the beautiful snow marble cat that was hanging around there. (Its title fitted its description perfectly btw.)While there, we were treated like fortunate houseguests, given ample food and beverages so we could be ready to eat dead people. Yeah, that's right. So we discovered that the best fake blood is made from maple syrup which was convenient in appearance...and taste!;) Throughout the rest of much of the night we spent eating dead body parts and witnessing gore in action. The way the scene was played out was very innovative and we very much enjoyed seeing a behind the scenes look into such a dementedly fun film.
Just a few of the charismatic people we worked with included the wildly entertaining Rob Proctor, Rob Stull, Jared, (the cool guy from the alleyway), and Ziegler. Ziegler,aka 'Zig' and Stull actually took a turn in front of the camera as opposed to behind it as they usually are, and joined in our zombie-ness during one scene. Anyway, I highly recommend renting this one when it comes out.I know we will!
