Find a bunch of local guys (and, yeah, it is always guys) who like movies and think they might be able to make one, too. Hand them a forest of boom microphones and professional lighting gear. Lend them a pricey high-definition digital camera. Watch them claw their way to a modest budget — lights, camera, action.
And what do they make?
A horror film.
Every time. Never fails.
They call and tell you they made a movie. And when you finally do meet them, they have this … look about them.
A scary conviction.
Glancing around Downtown Latte on St. Clair Street last week, it took roughly a blink to spot Jeff Thomas and Myron St. John. Thomas is 33, a native of Monroe, Mich., with the spooked, hyper-alert eyes of a man skilled at bomb disposal; and St. John, 47, a Toledo guy who lives in Maumee, has long lashes and jet black hair and the intense stare of a big-screen heavy. Both graduated from the University of Toledo, and both have made this new horror movie, called Fallen Angels.
