Bring Home The Bunnyman on DVD for Halloween!

This Halloween, don't go trick-or-treating with Michael. Don't go camping with Jason. Don't fall asleep with Freddy. Instead, take a walk down the bunny trail with Cotton Peters.

DaJa Vu Films presents, just in time for Halloween, The Bunnyman on DVD, available exclusively at Amazon.com!
  
     The Bunnyman combines the thrills of classic slasher films such as Halloween, and the horror film satire of Scream, and the campiness of TROMA movies, for one horrifyingly hilarious film.
      It is based on the true story of a man who killed his family on Halloween night then went on a killing rampage for six months.
      The notorious serial killer, Cotton Peters, has escaped from the mental institution he has been imprisoned in for seventeen years after brutally slaughtering his family and others on Halloween night.
      Now he has returned to finish the job. Enter Jayme Myers, who is unaware of her deadly connection to Peters. As the killer stalks Jayme, she and her friends gather together, but those who survive, will never be the same again.

The Bunnyman Production Day 3: I Shot The Sheriff

We had David Scott and Scotty Schultz, as well as Trent Stover and Derek DuQuesne out for filming today. It was raining this morning and David drove his bike, so he got a little soaked on his way over.

We started out with David, Derek and Scotty. Since we planned on shooting the sheriff station scenes in sequence, we didn't have Trent come in until later.

We began with Scene 42:

INT. SHERIFF'S STATION - DAY

From a PHANTOM POV we enter the Sheriff's Station and slowly approach the desk where DEPUTY CORMAN sits, his face buried in a newspaper. He takes a sip from his coffee cup. As he sets the cup back on the desk, the paper lowers and he sees.. To find out how the scene ends, you'll just have to wait to see the movie.

When Trent arrived we paused to shoot all of the Sheriff Stephens bits and let David have a break, sending him to the communal "trailer" while we worked with Trent. Once we got that stuff done, we called David back over so we could do the fight scene between Hooper and Stephens. It didn't work out quite the way I wanted, but we got some really cool angles.

When we finished with Stephens' scenes, we let Trent go and finished Hooper's scenes and sent David Scott home. Then we worked on some scenes with Corman and Loomis that the other actors aren't in and worked on some recently added some mostly improvised scenes between Loomis and Corman so that we can have something to fill in any gaps that may arise in editing.

It was a seven hour day, but we completed every one of the sheriff's station sequences. Which isn't bad considering it would have taken a studio weeks to do what we did in only seven hours. Bully for us!
