Two new World Premieres have come to Troma Now this October with Jay Burleson’s genre bending horror film, The Nobodies and Producer Tony Newton’s spooktacular anthology Grindsploitation 3: Video Nasty.
In 1993, Alabama based amateur filmmaker Warren Werner shot his first feature film, Pumpkin, on VHS. With a budget of only $600, a cast of friends, family, and unknown talent, the movie premiered at the local civic center and generated an immediate backlash from the community.
Rumors that Warren and his girlfriend Samantha Dixon engaged in Satanic rituals began to spread throughout town. In the months following the premiere, Warren and Samantha committed suicide. The following year, another group of filmmakers began shooting a documentary about the deaths of Warren and Samantha. The documentary project was never completed, and Pumpkin was never released.
The Nobodies is Warren Werner’s Pumpkin, in it’s entirety, cut together with the remaining documentary footage of the director’s life and death.
Directed by Jay Burleson.
Starring Lane Hughes (You’re Next, A Horrible Way to Die) and Bill Pacer. Music by Jasper Lee, Lane Hughes, Zach Harding, & Rusty Apper.
The Nobodies premiered at the prestigious Sidewalk Film Festival this year and won the Special Jury Prize for the Alan Hunter Award for Best Alabama Film!
