Threading Over Dark, a dark and sinister tale currently being filmed in and around Sacramento will not be for the squeamish. Chances are those of you who love the blood and gore will go in droves and leave smiling. Of course it's still very much in process so you'll just have to wait and follow the production as they blog it on their myspace site. What I have seen during filming is the diabolical creepiness so graphically portrayed by these moviemakers. Visionary director Greg "Papa Stech" Stechmanprowled and growled around today's set, a garage in Roseville, anxiously tending to every detail while wearing a white T-shirt covered in fake blood. Todd Gearou, who looks like the very nice man next door, was truly in live the fantasy mode as he tortured poor Amy, first in a bathtub and later in this torturous chair. The poor girl had to be chained up and gagged for hours. Christa Bella, the make-up and special effects artist, along with her skilled assistants, made everything happening look so real-- right down to the screws that would be drilled into the victims hands. UGH.
Earlier in the day there were three teenage girls who had also fallen victim to the sinister lead and were so enthralled with their bloody make-up they stayed in it all day, offering to pose as zombies for me at any opportunity.
