Welcome back everyone. Enjoy and review.
Twenty-Three Days Later
"The Voodoo Tragedy" had been shot in twenty-three days. The last day had been devoted entirely to retakes. With sets leftover from the westerns and costumes rented from the Eastern Costume Company, A. Nigma Studios had made an epic film on a B-movie budget.
The studio had advertised the movie as being the perfect cross between "Wuthering Heights" and "Bride of Frankenstein" with its violent setting. This caused some worries for some who worked on the film.
"People are probably going to be expecting romance!" Tina was pacing around Basil's living room. This only caused Basil to wonder why things like this always happened at his house. He couldn't sit on his couch and eat a vine of grapes in peace could he? Then again this is what he got for inviting people over to his house for a little celebration.
"Comedy, horror and science-fiction too!" Lee's addition caused Basil to choke a bit. He had worked on the script same as Tina! So had Brandy! They had done bits of script work for the studio for a few years. Thankfully, there had been no word about who had done the script so Tina had little to worry about until the film was finally screened. Lee had done some work on the film as well as a crewmember, if he were to get credit or not was yet to be known. Anyone who couldn't pass as being of African descent had worked as a crewmember thus Lee and many others were a part of the film's crew.
"I hear that only Tina will be credited." Brandy's comment caused Basil to, once again, choke a bit. "If the movie is a failure then it will only affect her career."
"What?" Basil threw his grape vine in Cam's direction, which flew past Cam at Holger. Unfortunately, Holger was cleaning his glasses and the vine poked Holger in the eye.
"Me and Basil won't have to worry about our careers but you'll have to worry about yours!"
"My career?" Basil stood up and grabbed his jacket from the coat rack. Unfortunately, he ended up knocking the coat rack down in the process. "My career can't get any worse! I invented theatre in the square! Even if the movie fails I want it on my resume!" He then left his house. A few minutes passed and Basil came back in for his flat cap that Cam was holding. "Every time!" Basil left again and soon the sound of car hitting car was heard.
