If you've seen "Eat Me!" you know how important Floyd the car was to the movie -- but he also holds a special place in the heart of the film's director, Katie Carman. First driven by Katie, and now her mother Sue, Floyd the 1973 Volkswagen Squareback has been in the Carman family for nearly 15 years. Lovingly restored and maintained as a daily driver, Floyd is also a member of the Long

EAT ME! was just recently included in a list of "stoner horror" films on the blog Movie Life Online - actually, it appears to be a website for a film called "Evil Weed" which I must say sounds hilarious!We're mentioned alongside other "doper" films like Evil Bong I & II, The Tripper (directed by and starring David Arquette?) and Idle Hands.

About this time last year we were getting into the thick of production on "Eat Me!". One of the main props we had to procure of course was our boat which Ed Phalen, a very kind friend of the family, let us borrow. We honestly hadn't seen the boat until the day we were set to pick it up, so we weren't sure what to expect. Upon pulling up to his house we saw some things we definitely were not

Many people have asked how we lucked into getting such an awesome car for “Eat Me!”. The true story is that Floyd, our 1973 Volkswagen Squareback, has been in the Carman family for many years.I'd bought a 1973 VW Beetle (“Fritzy”) as my first car in high school but despite many hours of driving around empty parking lots could not figure out how to drive the stick shift. Frustrated, and starting

Things have been changing mighty quickly in the past few days in the land of all things EATERS. We had a *mystery guest*, who turned out to be an established NYC producer, attend our New Filmmakers screening last week. Evidently, he liked what he saw, because we are now in talks to take Eaters onto the world stage. It's terribly exciting, and we will keep all cast, crew and fans updated as things

The Eaters team passed a fantastic night yesterday at the Anthology Film Archives where The Eaters screened as part of the New Filmmakers NY Series.The turnout was amazing and the crowd was wonderfully responsive. We made a lot of new friends and were able to reconnect with some familiar faces. It was hard not to be blown away by all the people that came out to support our indie film. It

Earlier this year, Time Magazine declared "Zombies the New Vampires" based on the ascendancy of flicks like Dead Snow, the upcoming Zombieland and books like "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies." And that's not even considering the realm of video games, where zombies have been dominating for years with the "Resident Evil" and "Left for Dead" series.But Vampires wont die quietly (as anyone who has

Despite a number of political and economic challenges, New York City remains at the heart of American cinema.Among all U.S. workers employed in the motion picture and sound recording industry, one in ten calls New York home, which is just second to L.A. County.In 2008, there were more than 27,000 shooting days in New York City, up from 15,000 in 1993, according to the Mayor's Office of Film,

When creating a genre movie, particularly a monster flick, it's up to the filmmakers to put their own unique stamp on the beasties or risk going unnoticed, unrecognized or even worse- unwatched. Sometimes the attempts at re-telling the tale of the same, time-worn monsters in a different way leaves us with a weirdly mixed bag of sparkle vampires, teen werewolves, and boobarellas gone wild.

Much has been written about how women have been portrayed in horror films, and a good chunk of it suggests strong female characters have usually played second fiddle to the horny male adolescent fantasy. There are many exceptions, of course. Perhaps most famously, there’s Alien (1979). And more recently, Mitchell Lichtenstein's Teeth (2007) made some noise for shaking up the genre. But when it

This past Tuesday, Eat Me! was screened for a crowd of hungry zombie fans at the Bellmore Movies, in Bellmore, Long Island. We amassed a seriously respectable crowd for a late Tuesday evening. There was a brief Question and Answer session with the filmmakers after the screening, in which the two inevitable questions were voiced:What was the budget for "Eat Me!"? Of course, an epic feature like "
