The Head Incident (1999) Remastered

In 1999, I made this horror film about a murderous dummy head controlled by a mysterious man in black trench coat, inspired by the Neighborhood Watch signs. It was shot on VHS, and edited with two VCR s which naturally causes generation loss where the video, audio quality degrade. Furthermore, the only way I knew how to turn the footage B W was to point the camera at the TV screen, and turn the color knob down. As a result, the TV pixels and scan lines further degraded the footage. For a while, I thought of it as a cool aesthetic, but more than 20 years later, I felt it was worth doing a remaster. To do this, I had to painstakingly rescan over 10 hours of raw footage and reedit the movie from scratch. I also shortened it to 20 minutes. The original edit was nearly an hour. I feel that the shorter run time helps keep the excitement up and flows better. I consider this to be the definitive version, but you can still see one of the older versions on the Cinemassacre Plays channel.
