When a mission goes wrong, the vigilante Frank Castle flees the authorities into the quiet New Jersey countryside. Little does he know that a brutal killing machine has awoken and returned to his forest home. Low on ammo and out of resources, Castle must work alone to stop Voorhees before the psychotic slasher in the woods kills again.

The red-blooded tactician will face the cold-blooded hunter in an all-out war for survival... To the death!
 

The Castle vs Voorhees team has accomplished getting our F.A.A.S.T special forces as well as our two scientists dialogue and kill scenes filmed. Two period vehicles were trailered to the travel location as well as 14 people on set including, talent, support staff, and the special effects team.

Coming up we are moving toward our next kill scene as well as a night shoot with practical rain and lightning effects! Breakaway windows and doors are currently under construction for the stunt work to be shown during the first confrontation scene between Castle and Voorhees.

"As avid horror fans, it is an honor to fulfill the dreams we have had since our early teens. Ok, so maybe those dreams involve blood and gore. We made our parents proud."

Black Bayou Studios and the Castle vs Voorhees production team is pushing through with the change we found in our couches and our own financial funding, and pockets are growing thin.

With your help on this phase of the project, we plan to get the travel location shoots completed by the end of August so that we can focus on our filming the local scenes.

The Castle vs Voorhees production team would like to give a big thank you to everyone who has contributed to our project so far, but as you may know, we still have a long way to go and many expenses that come with creating this fantastic piece of horror.

Independent filmmakers, such as Black Bayou Studios, rely on the contributions of fans like you. Every single dollar we receive will help get us through our next couple filming sessions, as we work on completing Castle vs Voorhees. This campaign will help assist with travel expenses and killing people. Fictional characters, of course.

This film is for us, the fans.
