NOVEMBER 13TH UPDATES
I hope you enjoy it when its done. we are going to try and sell this movie to troma films. I'm a big troma fan and think they will like it. At the moment I am working on the costume for the hellbilly. I have converted a halloween skull mask into the main headpiece for the monster. I have yet to make the hands (probably do that later today) and am using the old scarecrow outfit, wich is basically rags, for the hellbilly costume. We have an actress named stacie who has asked to appear in it, so schedule permitting, she will star. aslong with Dan Bennett, yes thats right, Dan returns! aswell as Stef Richfield as the lead, Dave Diaper as the nasty mayor, Myself as the Deputy and a few others. wait and see! If you live near hampshire, UK and can act, let me know if your interested in starring
NEXT UPDATE;
Well the good news is Lloyd Kaufman has agreed to appear in
the movie! but were not sure if his schedule can permitt and when it can permitt
since we cant pay for him, although I have emailed his team asking for a quote,
so we'll see. so the good news is that he really likes the concept and has done
nothing but support the movie. Theres a good chance it might make it to
distrubution! Incase you dont know, Lloyd owns and runs troma films, the biggest
Independent horror film company for 30 odd years. Immensly helpful for indie
filmers like me. He hates hollywood and they work against the Hollywood system
all the time, wich is great. One thing you gotto check out is their new movie,
it looks AWSOME! check it at: http://www.poultrygeistmovie.com/ . Looks to be
one of the best horror comedies since the toxic avenger! we'll see, I sure cant
wait. but anyway yes, the hellbilly hands and mask are coming along well and we
have a few actors cast for the film. Confirmed cast is yet to be posted but will
be soon.
One GREAT thing is that Matt Armor, the Lead singer of the
rockabilly heroes 'Blazing Haley' has not only agreed to let me use his song, he
also acts and is gonna be in the movie! I mean thats quite a nice thing to do,
flying in from the USA to appear in a movie he wont get paid to do! cant say
enough good things about this guy. It was his song that inspired the entire
movie! Let me tell you the story. I was on my way back from Wales, Visiting Leah
and filming for 'Halloween Samhain' when I listened hard to the lyrics to the
great Blazing Haley song 'hellbilly58' and thought 'wow wouldnt that make a
great movie!' and here we are. I had high hopes for pitching this movie to troma
for release as its a real troma style film. then I read about how Lloyd appears
in films, so I thought I will email the genius behind 'Terror Firmer' and see if
he wanted to act in it. his responce was this: ''

11th April 2006
Quick update, GOTHIC PUNISHMENT is having its final scenes filmed so lookout for a late april/early May release date! Unfortunately the Punisher V Predator
project has been postponed until we can sort the costume, BUT keep an eye out for
a razor sharp slasher called CHALK HILL that is going to change the way we look
at quiet piecful roads and create a controversial piece of cinema greatness.
This is going to be a new slasher, thats just starting pre production, I'm doubling
for the maniac, Stef is playing a cowyboy vigilante, Dave will be in the mix somewhere,
I'm gonna try and get my buddy Matt and possibly Evan and Sune in it too.
Keep an eye out, I got good feelings about this one!

27th November 2005
We are heavily into the filming of BATMAN: DARK PUNISHMENT and its coming along really well,
we have had the first appearence from the joker, a gunfight aswell as the final punch up between Batman
and Frank catcle. Exiting!!!!!.
The soundtrack is pretty cool and we have filmed a sequence with Frank Castle and Bruce Wayne descussing batman,
so its all shaping nicely.
On another note, I hope you like the new sledge site layout.
10th November 2005
The new movie 'Batman:Dark Punishment' is coming along nicely but I cant say for sure when it will be released.
We got Stef as Punisher and me as Batman, Dad as the Joker and everyone is chipping in doing thugs and all that.
The origanal idea was to have Stef as the Mad Hatter. Then he said we should encorperate Punisher into it,so we
basically decided to have Batman and punisher in one movie. and Stef was more into Playing Frank than Hatter, so
it just grew from there. We have shot about 3 scenes. so its all coming along, keep an eye on its page for info.
24th October 2005
The new chiller 'Spirits of the fall' has been completed at last and is avaiable for veiwing.
The final cut came in at 1hour and 8mins, the closest thing to an epic yet!

4th August 2005
Well were nealry finished on 'someone's watching'. big news, Dan is giving the acting a break to work on his
music career so this is the last performance for a while so good luck to him in the world of music, but dont think
this is a bad thing or anything to do with us not making films anymore because thats not what its about.
The main reason being that we dont have enough sources to make fantastic films and we seem to run over
the same ground alot. well we will be still doing things but not as simalar to what you have seen in the past.
Expect some more films from me and Matt in the vein of Ernest and stuff like that, so look out! more later...
14th July 2005
Well were still kicking, I've got alot of shit to sort out at the momet so we havent filmed for a while but were gonna be
filming more next week. starting on the EWW Dir. Cut soon and hopefully doing a CD of all our songs we have used
so its all good. Keep a good look out for various web site updates in diffrent sections, I will try and post on the main
page...but its not that easy.....im a busy guy you see! more later ok!
2nd July 2005
The
news as follows: EWW Mortal Violence has been scrapped as it makes more
sense just to do an extended, directors cut of HARDCORE PASSION. so
look out for that in the future. Things have been hectic here so we
havend done alot of work on the new movie in a while, but its still
going really well with what we have so far, so its not far from
completion.
EWW has returned so look out for matched and cards in
the future, dont miss 'FEEL THE PAIN' coming live on sunday the 3rd
(tomorow). Keep a good look out, I'm starting to work on Ideas for
Friday the 13th: Evil Never Dies. Its all good.
19 June 2005
Thanks
for all the great guestbook entries (exept the dani man's :oD) and to
everyone who makes our work worth while. We are still working hard on
'someone's watching'
so keep an eye out. there is a smally gallery added on the page and it
shows a few snaps of whats to be expected for this one. We are already
nearly half way through and dan's acting is flawless as allways as he
plays a vigalante doctor after his insane patient. I cant wait til its
done and am very exited about this one. I've ended up playing more
roles in this movie than alot of the others so expect a few cameos.
In
other news, DVDs of 'the importance ect' and 'decomposing psyche' are
underway and not to forget that EWW may be making a come back. dont
forget the movie 'EWW : Mortal Violence' has been announced....so who
knows. pop over to http://www.freewebs.com/ewwwrestling for the lowdown on events, matches, pics and much more.
Just a little reminder that the nightmares inc site exists and the guestbook and hits are rather dusty..........
23rd May 2005
The internet has been down so I have been lazy I know, sorry about that. I'm back now though and news is to come.
We
are starting a new horror (more details soon) so that should be good.
The thriller has been scrapped and the directors cut of 'Halloween
party' has been completed, keep an eye out on this site for sound clips
and galleries.
28th April 2005
The
thriller is set for more filming next wednesday, and a short film
exploring fears and deep thoughts will be released soon. This is a
small, experimental film I decided to have a stab at on my own, I'll
get some creenshots up soon so you can take a look. as far as release
goes, I have no idea what this is gonna be like, probably will end
up on a dvd somewhere. Might show it before another movie or something,
were hopefully onna be planning a sledge films marathon soon. so look
out for that. We are still working on the dvd of 'IBE' hopefully with
commentary and a 'making-of'. might get a photogallery and some
advertisments aswell.
I'm thinking about a director's cut of 'halloween party' to hopefully be coming soon. Not sure how long that will take though so keep looking. Keep your eyes on the screening room aswell, soon to be renamed 'media something' and will have sound clips from the films too.
21st April 2005
The
thriller were making is going very well, we shot the first scene
yesterday at college, we had Dan as Eric Freemantle, the widower cop
and Matt Broughton as commisioner Daniel Ray. it went pretty well, took
a while getting the lines, but as usual both of the guys acting was
flawless. I'm looking forward to seeing the final project so hopefully
we will be filming more within the next few weeks. were hoping to get
it finished by mid May. Fingers crossed. Big shout out to Dan and Matt
for there delivery, allways a pleasure to watch.
16th April 2005
MACABRE
3 has been put on hold because we are starting prodution of a new 2
part TV crime thriller, it dosent have a name yet, but we will have
details on that very soon.
12th April 2005
Me
and Dan are in talks of a possible 4-6 episode TV show, about 2 stupid
house mates who are allways getting into trouble and getting hurt. We
like slapstick, but at the mo this is just a thought in the air.
Macabre 3 is well underway, we are shooting more at Dan's house
tomorow. Keep In touch!
NOTE FROM THE WEBMASTER: The Post from March 24th are now Untrue....is it sinking in yet?
06th April 2005
Fresh Meat: Macabre 2 has been re-released, only this time its the Unrated directors cut, re-edited and remastered.
Straight
from the same workspace as macabre: The unrated producers cut. Why are
we re-releasing these classics? good question, maybe its to get people
ready for something new...maybe a 3rd installment.
We are indeed
filming a new movie......and filming is going well, we shall keep you
posted, But yes it has Dan's flawless acting and vomiting, aswell as
his boyish charms and good looks.....and it features the acting Debut
of Jay Taylor.....who is this man? you ask, well keep watching and you
will find out. For a first timer, he did a pretty good job. More to
come soon.
31st March 2005
Macabre: the unrated, uncut Producer's cut has been completed, and is set for limeted release and re-release.
the new version is just a rehash of the classic,removing any little mistakes, with a new soundtrack.
In other news, were currently working on the dvd for bloodline. Packed with extras we hope.
24 March 2005
There
are rumous floating around that we are starting pre-production for
Macabre 3, this I'm afraid is not true. We talked about it indeed, and
we started planning it out, and at one point even agreed to make it
after Bloodline, but....im afraid this is not going to happen just yet,
yes it will happen no doubt about it, but it needs more time. go to the
this page: http://www.freewebs.com/sledgefilmsltd/macabre3.htm to clear up any rumours you are unsure about.
The script for the Killer movie is coming along well, and looking at it now, its going to be very gory and violent, thats the way we like it. The friday the 13th movies, aswell as the official ones and the way we make them, are popcorn films, made to keep lovers close, and to provide action, chills and exitement, or if your a big fan of Mr Voorhees like me, to keep you happy with your dose of jason!. Jason is a pop culture icon, he dosent exactly scare much these days, but he is still powerful and shocking in his means of entertainment. he can still be scary, and even though I know the charector and all that, looking at that hockeymask when I'm in full costume, its not nice to look at. This serial killer film is not going to be a popcorn film. Its aimed to make people think, and shock and disturb people, much like Macabre was intended. we did a good job, so hopefully we can meet the status that macabre met on this film, by taking the raw qualities from Shelly's shed, and onto serial killer Peter Herman's (names in progress) stomping ground. Suberbia.
22 March 2005
Well
at last the bloodline film is completed and should be premiering on the
26th of march. so ignore the trailer, the evil is coming march!!!!. the
film looks very good and the climactic ending was shot all day sunday
and edited all sunday night. about 15 hours non stop in total. It has a
nice feel to it and i've finished the final render and it lookes really
good, nice and polished, with some great action, suspence, horror and
gore, combined with a great score, its gonna be good. Dan's acting is
top notch as usual, with the generic vomiting and handy stick work, I
hope this film will be popular.
In other news, I have started writing a script for a new psychological horror, following the life of a brutal serial killer, diffrent from Friday 13th, you kind of follow the killers life,but not fly on the wall. Its planned in the vein of a bunch of really good serial killer films that were released in the last few years, a few of my faves: Ted Bundy, Ed Gein, Gacy and Dahmer. I'm not sure if I spelled the latter correctly, but hey. So I will keep you updated on that one. So hopefully, while bloodline does its rounds, we can start work on this one. This film will be alot lighter in filming, its not going to be the action/horror that bloodline is, this will work more on psyche and insanity, making it more disturbing and hard to watch, rather than the sort of film where you would cheer at Jason offing some teens. But we love that too.
17 March 2005
The
site has been updated once again with added pics to the gallery, more
posters to the vault, and full story/behind the scenes/cast details on

14 March 2005
Big
big changes have arrived!, the site has been updated, with added pages.
too much to list so just browse. lots of gubbins on here that you will
like I'm sure. The bloodline movie is nearly completed, with only onse
scene to go, its looking very nice indeed. Matt has agreed to play a
dead body, the dead body of Jack. The movie has a great look to
it, and with all the elements, such as the music, the costume and the
props, it really looks like your watching a friday the 13th movie. A
sequel has been announced, and we know this one is gonna be good, so we
can assure you that a sequel 'evil never dies' (working title) will be
in the making.
3rd March 2005
The site has been updated with a downloads section, aswell as info on how to obtain copies of our movies if you wish to.
