For Immediate Release: THE LUNAR PACK IS ON THE WAY!
A small independant video production company is gearing up to finish a trilogy of werewolf movies.
(PRWEB) May 7, 2004--Hocus Focus Productions has been gearing up to make its next feature film for some time now. In preparation for OPERATION: WOLF SPAWN, which is currently in development, the independent video production company has begun production of three short werewolf movies. The three will be presented in one DVD collection, THE LUNAR PACK.
Each short movie is an experiment in make-up F/X and camera and editing techniques. This means that although the films share one writer and director, they will each have their own signature looks and bring a different twist to the werewolf genre.
DARK ROSE: 700 YEAR ITCH and SHEEP'S CLOTHING are already in the can (or small plastic case since these were both produced on digital video) and CRYING WOLF, is now in preproduction, with principal photography scheduled for this summer. CRYING WOLF is slated to be shot on a 24fps miniDV camera for a more cinematic look, setting it apart from the other two shorts in the collection.
Award winning director, Jason L. Liquori, has written all three screenplays and is even featured in one of the movies. "I was the only one who work twelve hours straight for free," he quips. Liquori explains that all of his cast and crew members actually go well beyond the norm to help tell the tales (or should we say tails) of these most unusual werewolves.
The expected release date is Halloween 2004. Check the Hocus Focus Productions website for a trailer from one of the movies and for future updates.

Posted: Mon Jun 21, 2004 2:19 pm Post subject: Debbie Rochon Joins the LUNAR PACK!
June 19, 2004--For Immediate Release
Hocus Focus Productions has just made a deal with horror film legend and scream Queen, Debbie Rochon, to hostess THE LUNAR PACK DVD, due out in October. Miss Rochon will be creating the character Mistress Misty, a humorous woman with a history of fraternizing with some familiar monsters...and she has the babies to prove it! In 2002 Rochon was crowned Scream Queen of the Decade (1990 - present) by the horror genre publication Draculina magazine based on reader voting. She also received Best Psychette Award 2002 (best female psycho in a movie) for her work in "American Nightmare" by Videoscope Magazine. The Mistress character she portrays will be the cohesive force holding the three short werewolf films together.
"I grew up in New York," Director Jason Liquori stated, "and never got to enjoy those late night shows with old horror films being introduced by a colorful character on local T.V., so I decided to produce my own." Liquori feels that a horror veteran like Rochon will be able to breathe life into the Mistress and help horror fans relate to the string of monster movies.
THE LUNAR PACK is the first in a planned series of DVD's featuring Mistress Mindy and her litter of illegitimate hell-spawn. Next time around Liquori hopes to present three different looks at how to deal with the Grimm Reaper himself.

A slightly extended teaser trailer for the Lunar Pack is now online. The main additions are the little scene with Debbie Rochon as Mistress Misty and a few cool werewolf shots. From the look of the makeup effects, this indie film project may be quite good (at least, definitely better than "Bites: The Werewolf Chronicles.")

Posted: Sat Jan 01, 2005 1:43 pm Post subject: Lunar Pack DVD news!!! Distributor Found!
Well the Lunar Pack turned out to be a rather fun and imaginative little anthology, and I have to praise Jason Liquori for not making yet another horrible werewolf movie. (The worst I've seen yet is "Bites: The Werewolf Chronicles" from Brimstone Media Productions. And that's saying a lot because there aren't too many good werewolf films out there!) When I last spoke with Jason, he told me that he was looking for a distributor for the film and has now successfully found one: Brain Damage Films (www.BrainDamageFilms.com). I haven't yet seen anything from this company, but apparently they've been shipping out their movies to Blockbuster's rental shelves for quite some time. Anyway, congrats Jason! I'm looking forward to seeing what they do with your film on DVD! _________________ Jordan Garren
