The following account is reprinted with permission from THE STARSHIP EXPRESS Copyright 2009 Philip J De Parto:
The November 8, 2008 meeting of the Science Fiction Association of Bergen County was held in the Saddle River Valley Cultural Center in Upper Saddle River, New Jersey. Film Makers Ted Bohus and David Baumuller stepped in at the last minute to be the evening's Guest Speakers.
Ted and Dave have spoken to the Association on past occasions. They have separately produced magazines devoted to current and classic horror films and have worked together on low budget film projects. Ted has also been a solo act.
They began their presentation by showing the rough cut of their latest work, HELL ON EARTH. The flick has a fairly straightforward
storyline. A friendless, picked upon, misunderstood teen picks up an occult book and is coaxed into summoning evil spirits from beyond. The creatures prevent his family, who are being visited by a number of young nubile ladies and their boyfriends, from leaving the house and start inflicting various punishments and tortures upon them. The bodies pile up until the hero and friends burn the occult book in the fireplace which breaks the spell.
The rough cut was shot for around 60 grand in a mansion not all that far away from the Cultural Center. If they can interest some investors in the work, they can go back and do some post production clean up and add more special effects.
It was very hard to take notes on the question and answer session because Ted was fielding questions from one side of the room, Dave from the other, and audience members were having side conversations.
One of the facets of the Q & A dealt with the effect of money. Because they were on a limited budget and tight shooting schedule, most scenes had to be done in one take. Money, said Ted, buys the time to properly light and block a scene.
There were sidebars all over the place, including some amusing recollections of the auditioning process.

Our thanks to Thomas Schoenborne for providing the projection equipment to show the film on the big screen, to everyone who helped out with the set up and clean up, and again, to Ted and Dave for filling in on short notice.
