Today sees the Blu-ray/DVD release of Shadow People, starring The Walking Dead’s Dallas Roberts. If you’re interested in learning more about the movie, check out two clips and real life claims of shadow people encounters.
“They are known by many names in many cultures. In Persia they are called “Bakhtak.” In Japan, they are the “Kanashibari.” In Mexico they’re called the “Subirse el Muerto” and the “Suk Ninmyo” in New Guinea. In America, they are known as “Shadow People.” They are very real, yet no one who has seen them have lived to describe them. Are you willing to believe? Victims report waking from sleep to find themselves paralyzed, a noise buzzing in their head, while a shadowy figure stands watches them, or sometimes even climbs onto their bed. The sightings are widespread around the globe for centuries, but many are afraid to talk about their encounters.

The Candy Shop Short Film has premiered. Brandon McCormick‘s The Candy Shop (2010) stars Doug Jones, Mattie Liptak, Abigail Monet, Ron Prather, and George Wentworth. The Candy Shop (2010)’s plot synopsis: “Jimmy Balcom’s new job selling newspapers is a God-send to a kid working hard to help his family survive during the depression. But then Jimmy figures out what’s happening in the candy shop across the street. And he is confronted with a choice that no twelve-year-old should ever have to face. Giving his family a better life, or keeping his soul. Doug Jones (Pan’s Labyrinth, Hellboy) stars as the Candy Shop owner in this original film from Whitestone Motion Pictures in conjunction with Street Grace. The Candy Shop is a film initiative to help fight against child sex trafficking. This film is being made for the Doorpost Film Project, and with support from 12Stone® Church and Street Grace.

[1] Here's a really depressing fact for you: Atlanta is the number one city in the U.S. for child sex trafficking, and, according to the nonprofit organization Street Grace [2], the #10 city worldwide. Up to 7,200 men in Georgia buy sex with a minor each month, from girls as young as 10 or 11. As part of a larger campaign to combat the problem, Street Grace and other like-minded organizations have banded together with Whitestone Motion Pictures to create The Candy Shop, a 30-minute allegorical film about trafficking. The short is directed by Brandon McCormick and stars Doug Jones (Pan's Labyrinth, Hellboy) as the owner of the titular store. Watch it after the jump. As a film, I think this is pretty well done. I particularly like Jones as the creepy candy shop proprietor, who looks like -- and, I guess, is -- a nightmarish version of Willy Wonka. An allegorical short film might...

This week, on a very special episode of Reject Radio, we celebrate the end of an era, talk to a first-time writer/director, discuss the fine art of short film creation with a seasoned hand, and hear from movie icon Wings Hauser. Wings Hauser, people. Max Winkler hit the festivals hard with Ceremony, his coming of age story starring Michael Angarano and Uma Thurman. Now it’s seeing a limited release, and he’s stopped by to discuss the benefits of getting your heart broken and the wrong way to crash a party. We featured the short film The Candy Shop on the site recently, and director Brandon McCormick was nice enough to share his production methods, talk about working with Doug Jones, and tell listeners how they can help fight sex trafficking in their own backyard. As if that weren’t enough, Wings Hauser joins us moments before a special screening of the 80s classic Vice Squad...

Doug Jones (Pan's Labyrinth, Hellboy) stars as a scary ass Candy Shop owner in this original film from Whitestone Motion Pictures in conjunction with Street Grace. The Candy Shop is a film initiative to help fight against avery real problem that is child sex trafficking.
The Candy Shop was created as a Fairytale/Parable about the child sex trafficking epidemic that has overrun the city of Atlanta (which is apparently the #1 city in the country for this problem). They are using the film to not only raise awareness but provoke meaningful action towards this issue taking place in our own backyard. Personally, I had no idea this issue was so bad in the Us, but this creepy film made an impact.

Last year we showed you a great looking creepy trailer for a short film starring Doug Jones (Hellboy) called The Candy Shop. The full 30-minute short film can now be seen in it's entirety.
In the film Jones plays a crazy looking Willy Wonka type character that specializes in kidnapping little girls and thrusting them into child sex trafficking. This film was shot extremely well, but it definitely deals with a very serious and scary subject matter. The movie was actually made to help spread awareness that this kind of thing is going on in our society. Here is a note from the films creator Brandon McCormick,

Why Watch? Doug Jones has played some beloved characters from his turn in the Hellboy movies to the freaky monsters of Pan’s Labyrinth. However, this might be his creepiest role ever (and the most you ever get to see his face). This beautifully shot short film tells the story of a candy shop owner (played by Jones) who looks like the Gene Wilder Willy Wonka and Jigsaw had a love child that was born with lupus. He’s ghoulish, and he has a machine that turns little girls into candy. But it’s okay, right? Because there’s a market for it. One young man is lured into working for him and must choose between making the money to keep food on his family’s table and keeping his soul. The whole fantasy is a parable about child sex trafficking. It’s a haunting movie, and it was made to help raise awareness and money to...
