Oct 18: Pitchfork Pictures

One of the main producers of the horror films that Crawlspace would-be stars find themselves living through (err acting in) is Pitchfork Pictures. This esteemed motion picture producer started in 1957 out as an English-speaking outlet for Radio Television Luxembourg Channel 17. When televised productions of Moliere and Euripides didn't bring in the expected audience counts, they decided to go Gothic horror. Despite being reputed for being lurid and exploitative, the firm has been around since.

 The ever popular Count Vulgarr, the vampire known for being prettier than his victims, has had some seven scenarios (err films) . These films are known for being some inconsistent in the rules relating to the undead, but consistent in their effective use of camp and a bit of flesh to keep the crowds coming in.

When Crawlspace Characters are in a Pitchfork Picture production he or she will receive a Fame card for every three sequences that the actor works in somehow showing a bit flesh.

    Great ideas. Hope you will put these together in a PDF.

      Hey Paul,

      Yep. They're headed that way. The earlier ones made it onto my Halloween release, thanx to Christie Crabbe jumping in to help.

    Will that be up on Drivethrurpg? I noticed you updated a couple of scenarios to the new TACK system, plus Gothic Crawlspace, on that site.

    Any chance you will be updating Zombie Zigzag to the TACK system? How about print versions for any of these?

    It is up on DTRPG, "Crawlspace Gothic" has werewolves, vampires, ghosts, and the Libri Horrendus. I say this even though you probably have a link already from the previous article. "Gothic" should be available in print soon enough, waiting on the finished cover. I have no plans for the scenarios being in print until after I have many more released electronically, better economics for the buyer and environment.

    Doing "zombie" is walking through the desert for me. I am familiar with it, but never wanting to be there. Ironically, my closer friends love zombie and often live in deserts, so I do do zombie and deserts still. I'd rather do Zombie Zigzag as a re-boot than an update. You interested in being a contributor?

      While I habitually avoid deserts, due to watching too many Neo-noir, bad stuff happens in the desert, movies, I'm a big zombie fan.

      Definitely interested in contributing to a Zombie Zigzag reboot. I'll probably need to see the old version to figure out what needs to be added or modified. Do you have a text version I can look at?

      Thanks,

      I'll look around. I'll get you a pdf coupon if I can't find one, but things will change drastically.

      Sounds good. You can contact me directly via my gmail address.

      After I take a look at it, we can discuss your vision for a new TACK version.

      Thanks,

      FYI, just bought the PDF of the 2 adventures and Gothic, so I got some ideas about the new Zombie book. BTW, that bathtub scene on the cover of Gothic seems familiar somehow. LOL

      The Gmail is at the Cigarman moniker, yes?
