On the hunt for a child murderer, Jane crosses paths with the notorious trouble making phantom, Selista; and the two clash over his fate.
A WORD FROM CHRIS R NOTARILE
One of my greatest joys in making my original shorts is being able to connect them to the greater BCU. It’s a great way to flesh out characters and stories more, as well as keep things fresh. Being able to add Selista into the mix of Haunted City was just the kick I needed to continue the adventures of Jane. And being able to have Shannon McDermott square off against Tess Speranza and Laura Van Yck was pure joy.
These three women are at the top of their game and own their respective characters. My only regret was that it all came to an end. Production only lasted one day, though it was a long one, the hours flew right by. Newcomer Ryleigh Leggett played “the child”, and that title does her no justice. She is definitely wise beyond her years and a talent I hope to work with again.
The story for Chapter II was simple. I wanted Jane to fight Selista. For those of you unfamiliar with the character, she’s pretty much the Loki of the BCU. She was the big bad of my Phantom Faye series, and even cameoed in KRUEGER : The Legend of Elm St. I’ve been wanting to do more with the BCU Phantoms, so it was nice to finally have a vehicle for at least Selista. It was also nice to establish a few more rules for the supernatural elements of the BCU, especially with Death.
Now with Haunted City as part of the BCU, I am able to casually bring in more familiar faces and put them in more gothic style stories.
