The story follows two serial killer brothers who decide to spend the weekend at their family's cabin, only to find a squatter, who also happens to be a serial killer. Events unfold that prove strong bonds can be formed around a body count.

The idea idea of writing this all started with director Rollyn Stafford wanting to film something at Black Butte Ranch. He grew up there as a kid and knew the gorgeous Eastern, Oregon setting would be perfect for cinema. The idea of a writing about a serial killer family had also always appealed to him. Thus, he decided to combine the two ideas to create 1 DEAD DOG. 

Then came the difficult task of finding a name actor for the film. Rollyn and his producers knew it had to be someone with ties to the horror industry. They finally got a hold of Mark Patton, star of the cult classic A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET 2: FREDDY'S REVENGE and producer of the upcoming documentary SCREAM, QUEEN: MY NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET. Mark loved the script and signed on at once. 

Makeup artist Kenneth Calhoun, whose credits include, AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTON and CAPTAIN MARVEL, will also be lending his skills to the project. 

Now deep in pre-production, it's time to get what we need most; money. And with that money, you will be able to see an amazing dark comedy with lots of blood, laughs and Mark Patton himself!
