Ed McKeever, one of the producers of the film reached out to New
Jersey Stage and said they were
trying to get to the next level and
do something different by shooting a kind of badass horror movie
with bikers, deranged mountain
men, great fight scenes, and a
good story line. We said, “You
had me at badass.”
“It’s fine to have the teenager in
peril and the young girl, but we
want to see some guys out there
that can kick ass,” said
McKeever. “And it’s known from
the beginning that they can kick
ass. That’s the difference with this
film, you know these guys can
handle themselves. It means the
killer has to become that much
more scary because he’s not going after teenage kids. The real
incubus is what would happen if a
bunch of guys who could handle
themselves wind up fighting Jason Voorhees or Michael Myers.”
McKeever is a Jersey guy who
has produced several low budget
horror films, including some shot
in the Pine Barrens and Atlantic
City areas. His role as producer
involves connecting people and
finding all of the different pieces
of the puzzle. One of the biggest pieces is finding investors
and finding the people that can
help facilitate making the project
“sexy” for investors. This means
bringing on good actors, directors, the works. In this case, he’s
already got a director with a well
known name in the business. Jay
Lee’s first feature, Noon Blue
Apples, was an official selection of
