*   LARA PARKER has updated her blog with an entry about the recent premiere of DOCTOR MABUSE during the DARK SHADOWS ISLAND WEEKEND event. "What they didn’t realize (until the Q & A after the film was shown) was that the entire movie had been shot in front of a blue screen in Ansel’s tiny one car garage, and that the backgrounds were digitally inserted later," she said. "The result was weird and hypnotic with a very cool tone. And, it seems there will be a sequel, with Chris Pennock also in the cast." Read the entire post HERE.
