Behind The Scenes... Ghoul Organ (2004) On-Location photo stills: "Shooting Ghouls..."
David lines up a shot as actor/director Jim Young sets his mark as the Ghoul, deep in the Five Mile Woods. Several digital effects were applied to the Ghoul shots in Post-Production to blur the line between reality and movie fantasy. The end result is quite scary! The film is being shot on MiniDV. On-location sound is being recorded, and will be augmented by sound effects and music later in the studio. "Curiosity killed... several people."
Here is a close-up of the Ghoul Toy. Remeber, kids, NEVER bring home possesed toys that you may find in the wooods! The actual prop was animated and played an eerie, digitized version of Toccata and Fugue in D Minor when activated. It was so spooky that the location sound was used! It was also brought into the studio and re-recorded and modified. One of those "DON'T DO IT!" scenes...
Actor David Giuffre reaches for the Ghoul Toy near a most interesting fallen tree. There were many cool organic locations that were used, with little or no modification by the crew. This tree seems to have some connection with the Ghoul Toy, and seems almost to lurk there, waiting for fresh victims...
