Bigfoot Movie Casting Call

Posted by: Craig Woolheater on April 7th, 2007

There’s still time for folks in the Cleveland, OH area who have the inkling to be in a Bigfoot movie to make the casting call this evening.

Sorry about the late notice Cryptomundoers, but I just saw this item and posted it posthaste.

March of the Melonheads

Calling all actors who can do “perky cheerleader” or “march-band nerd”!

Local filmmaker Brian Lawlor is holding screen tests today for Welcome to Cretonville: Legend of the Melonheads, a horror movie he plans to start shooting next weekend in Kirtland. “We’re going to go for the gut on this one,” he says. “It’s going to harken back to a classic slasher flick.”

Welcome to Cretonville takes place in a fictitious Lake County community, where a myth about Big Foot-like creatures called Melonheads has persisted since the 1950s. The ghosts of their teenage victims haunt the woods. Lawlor needs varsity cheerleaders and chaperones to terrorize a high-school marching band. “If you live or grew up in Lake County, you’ll chuckle here and there at all the inside jokes,” says Lawlor. “But essentially it’s going to be a horror movie.” The film is the second in Lawlor’s Dark Ritual series of cheaply made thrillers. Last year, he teamed up with producers Shawn McLaughlin and Chris “Moose” Woodin to film Aquarius Rising — which is about a small-town sheriff who hires a psychic to solve a gruesome murder in, yep, Lake County. The movie’s production costs came in at around $1,000. “We’ve had bar tabs bigger than that,” laughs Lawlor. With an equally limited budget for Welcome to Cretonville, Lawlor hopes to complete the film in time for a Halloween premiere. He thinks local moviegoers (especially Lake County residents) will relate to the story. “You hear the myths growing up, but nobody takes them seriously,” he says. “It’s a thing to do with your girlfriend or a group of people for a good scare. Scares and high-school kids — you know where that usually leads.”Cris Glaser

Well, we want to show everyone what they were hoping to get a glimpse at; we will not be pulling any punches. We want this to be a movie that needs a warning about weak hearts and stomachs.”

Damn and I know of a guy who wanted to make a movie about this same exact thing. I don’t want to be the nerd in the movie though.

“marching-band nerd” - Darn, sorry I missed it.

Maybe next time.

Actually, Scene Magazine totally blew the interview! Melonheads are not bigfoot like creatures, they are small children deformed into creatures with big heads. And the band geek thing was just one small part of the casting. Will this movie be totally awesome? I doubt it will be Gone with the Wind, but it is looking to be pretty cool. I saw Aquarius Rising-the last movie they did. For a very low budget - it did not look low budget!
