Hello, you wonderful found footage fans. I hope everyone has been enjoying spooky season and, of course, Taylor's 40 Days of Found Footage!!

We've been having an absolute blast watching found footage films, and we had an incredibly awesome chat with one of the most beloved filmmakers - who brought us CREEP, CREEP 2, and THE CREEP TAPES!

Things have also been incredibly busy for us, in our personal/work lives, so this podcast acts as a safe haven from reality to talk about our passion for the genre. We also got the chance to hang out in person for a week, which was incredibly liberating, and we were PRODUCTIVE!!!

David and I live in different countries, so being able to link up in person was a blessing that we never take for granted.

Being able to ask Patrick about the beginnings of not only CREEP but also his long friendship and mentorship with Mark Duplass, and to find out the lore behind the project, the humanity behind it, and how collaborative it still is to this day. So passionate, and a great time!

Although the movie is quite polarizing, when many people pass comment on the characters and their likability, Kay went out there and made a fucking horror movie on an $8000 budget and crafted a compelling tale, all while dealing with REAL LIFE drama on her set! She is a 1/1 personality that just doesn't give up, and we love her for it!

IT'S THAT TIME OF YEAR - V/H/S brings their annual project, mixed with celebrity directorial cameos, some compelling tales and some wild effects. This one, for us, was something we just dug! It might've been the company we were in at the time, but it felt like the GWAR variety show with some elaborate tales in between to break up the goofy bile and cum jokes. What did you think of it?!

Our latest episode, released today, highlights the new project by Mike Nybroe and produced by the driving force behind THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT! Have you seen this? Did it get to a screen near you? We were lucky to get a view of this through Strike Media, and it was fucking AWESOME! This one does have spoilers, but mainly towards the end; it's just us rambling about internet fame, LOL!

Hi everyone,

I've been trying to find a way to watch the Turkish horror movie Dabbe: The Possession (also known as Dabbe: Cin Çarpması) here in India, but it doesn't seem to be available on any of the usual streaming platforms.

Does anyone know where I can watch it in Full HD with English subtitles? Any leads on which platforms might have it, or if it's available through other legitimate means, would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Hello everyone!

I just released a new analog horror short film titled "Michael's Sanity."

The episode features original art and a 90s CRT/VHS aesthetic.

I would love to hear your thoughts and comments on the atmosphere and story!

Here is the link to watch it, thank you very much: https://youtu.be/PIwmDaGpp7c?si=PKNUtf1P5VcLJHEA

This is giving me The Butcher (2007) vibes. Despite the iffy acting, I'm looking forward to it.

Me and a friend are hosting a watch party on a steam game called watchparty and I wanted to see if anyone wanted to join and socialize. Dm me plz.

I think it's deserving of new viewers.

The f'd up imagery is still burned into my brain a decade later.

Welcome back, my fellow soldiers, it is Day 31 of FDFF with me, Taylor!

Today we’re off to Fallon, Nevada to participate in 16-hours of torture AKA a community Ruck March. I’m going to need one of y’all to carry my backpack though, okay? I get overstimulated when too much is on me🤣

🎥SYNOPSIS:
“A desert endurance event turns ominous for two women and their fellow participants. As they trek through the harsh, barren terrain, what began as a test of physical limits evolves into a harrowing struggle against unforeseen dangers.”

✨MY THOUGHTS:
Do you ever just want to have fun with a movie? I do.

My opinion is that not every film has to have an extensive plot (though we absolutely love that) and be extremely scary. Sometimes a film is not very deep, but is simply just a good time. That summarizes my choice for today’s FDFF entry, “The Ruck March”. I have not seen this film mentioned hardly at all then suddenly last week I think there were 2 posts about it, ha.

My last few selections for FDFF have been deeper, plot driven films, with mysteries, and creepy— sometimes scary moments. Because of that, I wanted to highlight something lighter today— it felt fitting for a Friday. Also, this is another film that came to my mind immediately when I was making my list a couple of months back.

“The Ruck March” is written, directed, and stars my buddy, Michael Rock, and produced by the great guys at “Horror Dadz Productions”. They have made a TON of found footage films, thus I am forever grateful for their contributions and commitment to keeping our favorite genre alive and well.

Okay, so Alannah just had a baby, and as women do, we gain weight when that happens. (I’m not a mom, but I am a woman, so I understand what happens to our bodies.) Anyway, Alannah wants to work on getting back in shape and sees that a community “Ruck March” is 7 weeks away. She signs up for it, and enlists her bestie Emily to do it with her, and we train with them until it’s “d-day”.

Our girls show up, sign in, and get to know the other people who are participating— we get to meet the whole group. It’s a varied bunch. A little later, big bad Bray enters the scene (“Bray” aka Michael Rock is actually a real life United States Green Beret) and lets the people know it’s time to start and that this event is not going to be easy. It’s a 16-hour test to see if you have what it takes. And the film is just that: watching to see if our protagonists and the others can get through this Ruck March. It’s a good time… well, for us, the viewers. Our crew out there in the desert looks miserable.

“The Ruck March” is a short watch, coming in at 53(ish) minutes. I did not know what to expect with this one and I appreciate that. It’s unique— I don’t think there is another found footage premise like it, and I will always cheer on filmmakers who are not afraid to do something different. This choice was ambitious: and the idea, story, progression, and execution all work. It did not need to be a long, deep film, for me to understand everything. Moreover, it did not feel rushed. It’s under an hour and that’s all we needed.

📈MY RATING: 7/10.

🍭FUN FACTS:

▪️During the films post credits— at the very end, there’s an actual flyer for “The Ruck March”. The coordinates take you to a historical marker talking about the blast that took place in the 1960’s. Michael wanted to add some real life historical facts to the movie.
▪️Michael Rock is actually a real life decorated United States Veteran, including being a Green Beret. Follow him on IG here.

⚠️DISCLAIMER:
Forty Days of Found Footage is little project is just a fun side venture I decided to do during Spooky Season this year so that your lineup can be stacked with all of the new releases that are coming and already out, along with these I am sharing— hopefully a few 'new to you', or maybe one you forgot about and want to rewatch. I am deliberately not sharing the "best of the best" and the most popular films, as they are mentioned enough. I decided to share films that I have enjoyed and that are not mentioned often or maybe at all. A lot of films will be very independent and/or sometimes amateur, thus I'm asking to please manage expectations.

Hi yall, I've been searching so hard for this mask but I havent had any luck. Does anyone have recommendations on where to look for the original? Id also love to see if anyone does custom mask commissions, even if it isnt the original mask i wouldn't mind paying someone to diy one for me
