BOSTON,
Mass. -- January 17, 2013

-- Wicked Bird Media, the Boston-based independent production company, today
announced that they are in
pre-production
on Something Wicked This Way Comes, a documentary about the horror community in
New England. The film will f
eature local
directors, actors, fans, and natives discussing the relationship between New
England and contemporary horror; and dissect popular genre conventions driven by
the history, settings, and social issues of the area.


Filming
began on Saturday, January 12th, 2013 with Mike Aloisi, author of Unmasked: The
True Life Story of the World's Most Prolific, Cinematic Killer Kane Hodder.
Wicked Bird Media is currently booking with over a dozen notable horror genre
luminaries and will continue filming throughout 2013 in various New England
locations and Los Angeles, California. 


Stacy
Buchanan and Jessica Barnthouse, founders of Wicked Bird Media, developed the
documentary concept to support their business mission to increase independent
film activity in New England. The duo plan to expand their production company
into a hub for independent filmmakers who bring their projects to the area, and
will offer affordable services, equipment rentals, and in-state resources. The
documentary will be their first full-feature film and will be used as a case
study about how a community can create a homegrown film
industry.


Wicked
Bird Media needs to secure funding to locally produce and staff the film, and
has set up a 30-day Kickstarter campaign that includes a video featuring actor
Kip Weeks from The Strangers, an infographic representing the impact New England
has had on the horror genre, and backer-exclusive pledge packages that include a
digital download or DVD copy of the completed film, a production diary, behind
the scenes footage, VIP tickets to the film premiere, and Producer credits. To
