Help Make CANDY ROT The Movie (Crowd Funding Campaign)

A few paragraphs from the FundRazr.com campaign:

Atomic Monster Magazine's very own Dr. Shriek is writing/directing an 80s horror throwback Halloween film called "Candy Rot". Featuring old school practical monster, and makeup gore effects. We also collaborated with punk rockers The Anti-Bodies on the theme song.

Candy Rot is something unlike you've seen before!

Check out the Saturday morning cartoon music video for the theme song by The Anti-Bodies. Animated by Disney artist Uncle Mummy.

Our Inspirations: Candy Rot is a movie made by Monster Kids who grew up during the 80s, watching horror movies that featured over the top makeup effects, and iconic creatures. Candy Rot is heavily influenced by Night of the Creeps, Pumpkinhead, Fright Night, The Monster Squad and Night of the Demons, which all feature some iconic unforgettable practical monsters and makeup effects.

The Synopsis: On Halloween night a group of high schoolers discover that a pumpkin farmer who after encountering and being infected by an alien creature, mutates into hideous radioactive pumpkin headed abomination. What follows the teenagers is a nightmare of blood-soaked terror, where they must band together in hopes to save their town from Candy Rot, and his human victims turned mutated zombie horde before it's too late.

CANDY ROT Preview for Cartoon Pilot (Crowd Funding Campaign)

Check out a preview of a Saturday morning cartoon called Candy Rot based on an upcoming 80's throwback practical effects Halloween monster feature film of the same name. A GoFundMe campaign has been started to help fund the creation of a full 11 minute animated short to pitch to series. Here are the first few paragraphs of the campaign, plus a description of the film:

Greetings, I'm horror host Dr. Shriek, some of you might know me as the publisher of the horror print publication Atomic Monster Magazine. For the past several months I've been developing an 80's throwback horror project called CANDY ROT, inspired by such classics as The Monster Squad and Night of the Creeps.

A collaboration with horror punk rockers The Anti-Bodies who wrote, and recorded the theme song. It started out as just a full length practical effects monster movie, and had turned into something much bigger. The goal is to not just making the live action movie, but also an animated series. About a month ago I wrote a 30 second short animated teaser script, and collaborated with Disney animator Uncle Mummy.

Since premiering on Instagram (or watch at YouTube above), it's gotten pretty good response online, we've decided to go forward, and produce an 11 min cartoon pilot that will also be used to screen at film festivals, and pitch the series to various streaming channels.

What's Candy Rot About?

In the small New England town of Pitchfork Falls, nothing interesting ever happens. That's until one Halloween night The Jack-o-Lantern Society, a group of three horror loving friends Greg, Beatrice and Adam who go to Forrest J Ackerman Jr. High must fight to save their beloved home from a mutated radioactive pumpkin headed monster called Candy Rot, and his army of flesh eating zombies...
