Our 2009 short film Jake and Julie Vs. The Boogeyman! is now available to watch on YouTube! An homage to 80s horror/fantasy films like Gremlins and Labyrinth, Jake and Julie Vs. The Boogeyman! follows thirteen year-old Julie Jenkins (Dana Delappi) as she attempts to rescue her brother (Caden Gaskins) from the titular child-eating ogre.
Completed as part of the Master's program in filmmaking at Georgia State University, Jake and Julie was produced in conjunction with DAEL and was shot using a Sony EX1. The Boogeyman was designed by Brian Hardison (check out his awesome concept art below) and brought to life in the film via traditional stop motion animation by Torey Haas. It was an official selection of the 2009 Southern Appalachian International Film Festival and was featured on an episode of WPBA-30's Atlanta Shorts.
The Boogeyman has since gone on to become the official mascot of MonsterBuster Entertainment (that's him in our logo), and a grown-up Jake is one of the starring characters in our upcoming feature Invasion of the Undead!, where he encounters a creature much more sinister than the Boogeyman. Be sure to stick around during the ending credits for the rocking theme song "Boogeyman" performed by Pillage and Plunder!
Check back next week for our 2011 short Mario and Luigi!
