Horizonica (2006, Ramon Etman)
Jenny, a young woman, seems to run through the forest aimlessly. A passing car stops and its driver helps her. The girl is pretty beaten up and speechless...
Then the story leaps back in time. In light of their initiation, two groups of sophomore students are dropped in the forest. Among them is Jenny. With a minimum of supplies they have to find their way back to the civilized world. What they don't know is that a strange disease is being spread in this civilized world. Not just a common 'flu, but a terrible virus that's infecting everyone in a rapid pace. A side effect is that it unleashes all evil in human beings.
The students are facing hardships as well; slowly they start to realize what's going on and what started as an innocent adventure seems to end in a horrifying nightmare!
Lloyd Kaufman appears in a brief, but important role in this Dutch film as the character Ted Roma.

Part tribute and part parody of 50's sci fi horror movies. This is a film, which also features Debbie Rochon, combines junk food with cinema for quirky results.
I wanted to do a tribute film of sorts to all the quirky films I loved as when I was kid. I put everything into a quirky film, my love for Rocky Horror, Richard Elfman's Forbidden Zone, and camp films too many to mention. It's loud, bawdy, and crazy like all cult films.

"Its 11:30 AM on a Monday night, March the 21st of 2005.
I'm sitting on underground director Blake Fitzpatricks set for
his new movie A Dream of Color in Black and White, nervous
as all hell, because Im going to meet Lloyd Kaufman. The crew
is wound up because we are shooting outside in the woods for a bonfire
scene, and its raining. We are getting lights up and the fire lit.
Lloyd arrives, hands out DVDs for everyone and is an all around awesome
guy. The rain stops. The wind stops. The weather is perfect, just
in time. Blake and Lloyd work so well together, the scene gets filmed
in a half hour. We all clap and praise for a job well done. Lloyd
signed all of our DVDs and took pictures with all of us, just as if
we were all friends. It was awesome."

Wolfsbayne (2004, Jim O'Rear)
The Underworld-inspired film Wolfsbayne (written by
Jim O'Rear, Ben Dixon, and Amy Dixon), is set against a centuries-old
war between gypsies, priests, and werewolves. In 1590, the Diet of
Augsburg ruled that gypsies were the spawn of Satan and, therefore,
had no rights whatsoever. The ruling allowed Christians to kill gypsies
without penalty, which sparked the church to organize a small group
of religious assassins to carry out the dirty work. Unfortunately,
the band of killer priests were not informed that the gypsies had
made a pact of protection with a powerful werewolf clan, so all hell
broke loose. Four hundred years later, the bloody war between the
church, gypsies, and werewolves rages on and it's up to a small-town
police chief to end it or die trying.
Wolfsbayne features an all-star cast of horror movie veterans,
such as Jim O'Rear (Miss Maniac), Gunnar Hansen (Texas Chainsaw
Massacre), Linnea Quigley (Return Of The Living Dead),
Debbie (American Nightmare) Rochon, Suzi (The Tenement)
Lorraine, and Lloyd Kaufman.
