Special Features:
  • Commentary features director Allen Plone and cinematographer Eric Anderson.
  • "Blood and Chopsticks: Echoes of 'Night Screams'" (80:06, HD) is the making-of for the feature, featuring interviews with producer/co-writer Dillis L. Hart II, executive producer Richard Caliendo, cinematographer Eric Anderson, director Allen Plone, makeup artist & special makeup effects artist Diana Lee-Sottler, special effects/costume/art department/props artist Tim McGill, and actors Megan Wyss, Ed Baker, Barbara Schoenhofer, Mike Roark, Susan Lyles, and Dennis Arnold. For Hart II, dreams of film school were dashed by the responsibilities of life, but he managed to find his way into the Universal Studios mailroom, using his job as a way to make connections. The other interviewees also worked their way into the world of filmmaking, handling growing responsibilities in Kansas. The original director of "Night Screams" wasn't working well with the actors, fired after a few days of shooting, triggering a scramble to replace him, ending up with Plone, while Hart II received some critical advice from John Carpenter, helping him to hire the right people. The Wichita casting experience is closely analyzed, with most of the ensemble aiming to get beyond their commercial and theater training, and characterization is highlighted. On-set atmosphere is recalled, with Plone demanding kindness and support during the high-pressure shoot. Special effects and makeup are explored, with cast and crew dealing with a limited budget and some lapses in safety. The saga of the Sweetheart Dancers is recalled, and editing woes are identified, as "Night Screams" struggled with a short run time and missing footage, requiring padding for theatrical distribution, with somebody, somewhere electing to add adult clips to the feature. The interviewees all recall their initial viewings of the movie, enjoying the weirdness of the endeavor. They also value the learning experience the production provided, with many receiving their first professional shot, recalling the adventure.
