Part 2...

Now that you know how the set was built and lit and how all the Leprechaun makeup was applied (scroll back through our reels for those videos), here is the entire filming process. Four days and everything that happened in the basement, condensed into a few minutes.

This may be overwhelming so in order to take it all in, pause, rewind and ask any questions you'd like. Then cross reference with the finished product which can be seen for free right now on YouTube. Just follow the link in our bio. #LetsGetFuzzy

Challenge for you...

We bet you can't catch everything in just one watch. Pause, rewind and ask any questions you'd like as we give you an inside look at the creation of Leprechaun Revenge. Through the eyes of an almost literal fly on the wall, in the form of a 360° camera.

We already showed you what was going on upstairs with a time-lapse of the makeup process. (Scroll back through our reels for that) Now here is what was happening downstairs over the course of a week, sped up greatly for your viewing pleasure.

Zero AI was used. Just a lot of hard work from a bunch of people. That leads to a cool set to showcase some really cool makeup and practical effects. As well as conclude Ozzies story in our own way and show everyone what is possible for a new feature film.

Please let us know if you'd like more content like this and if you have any questions about how things were done or what was used to make this all happen.

And of course the full film can be seen for free right now on YouTube. Just follow the link in our bio. #LetsGetFuzzy

We have so many folks who have worked on the #Terrifier franchise at #LICH2026 they could start filming the fourth installment in the series at the convention! So delighted to have @jfroot and @jasonleavyy as guests this year!

Make sure to swipe and read the whole caption to see why this may have been the best @newyorkcityhorrorfilmfest yet.

It was like three in one. Although we have shown #AbnormalAttraction there in the past, this year we attended 3 special advanced screenings with cast, crew and sold out crowds.

Opening night featured #LastChanceMotel starring Heather Langenkamp (@langenkamph) and directed by Scout Taylor Compton (@undertheseascout) & Danielle Harris (@horrorgal), one of the stars of @streamfranchise. It will be released this coming year and every horror fan should see it, especially listeners of @talkscarytomepodcast.

Day 2 was headlined by @peepingtommovie. A film our team was directly involved with during production and everyone should be very proud of. It was produced by Ryan James (@hollywoodgumby) and others, but he is the one pictured here, and edited by Dan Ballester (@imdballester) who deserves a special shout out. Hannah Fierman (@hannahfierman) made her feature directorial debut and took home the award for Best Director while doing so. More @streamfranchise alumni were featured in the talented cast including Felissa Rose (@felissarose123) who we must thank for bringing us on, the fantastic Terry Kiser (@therealterrykiser) and most importantly the apparently camera shy lead Damian Maffei (@damianmaffei). Damian did a fantastic job in a difficult role and won a well deserved award for Best Actor. Congratulations to him and everyone else who worked on the project.

Last but not least was day 3, and the first ever screening of The Pitchfork Retreat (@pitchforkretreat). This film is special for so many reasons, including the fact that it is the last time we got to work with the legendary Tony Todd (@tonytoddofficial). Written and directed by Greg & Nicole Van Voorhis (@gregorylerzundivanvoorhis & @nicole_van_voorhis), produced by Fuzz on the Lens Productions and brought to life by all of our favorite people including @jfr_media, @seashelvesproductions, @marcusslabine and @stevieconca.

And now that we are hitting the limit of an Instagram caption, it is time to cut to the chase. The Pitchfork Retreat WON BEST FEATURE. Thank you so much #NYCHFF

One year ago, I stepped into completely new territory and recorded my very first interview for THE REACTION SHOT PODCAST. Up until then, the show had never featured interviews — and honestly, I wasn’t sure how it would go. But then came Jamie Root. Jamie wasn’t just my first guest; she was the perfect first guest. Kind, open, generous with her stories, and genuinely excited to share her creative journey. She made the entire experience feel natural, like I’d been doing interviews for years. She took a chace on me, a podcast newbie, in allowing her to tell her story.

That episode introduced listeners to her incredible work from assistant directing on indie horror hits like ‘Terrifier 3’ and ‘Stream’, to crafting powerful short films like ‘The Signs’ and the award‑winning ‘Densmore’. But it also marked a turning point for me. It pushed the podcast into a new a slightly new direction and pushed me to grow as a host and a creator. Looking back now, it’s wild to see how much has changed in just twelve months. More interviews. More confidence. More curiosity. More willingness to take risks. And it all started with that one conversation.

Thank you, @jfroot for being such a wonderful first guest — and here’s to another year of growth, learning, and stepping into new chapters for us both.

What a fantastic evening at the @the_pitchfork_retreat_movie advanced screening at the @newyorkcityhorrorfilmfest! It was very humbling to get the feedback we all got. We had a wonderful time working on this film and did it with great talented people all around. To see the fruits of everyone’s labor up on the big screen and the outcome was very gratifying. I’m extremely proud of our entire team. It’s a wonderful film I’m proud to be part of and have produced and cannot wait for the rest of the world to see it next year. Everyone is going to really love the entire cast’s performance, especially my friend the late grate Tony Todd! He delivers and then some, this one is for you buddy! #ThePitchforkRetreat

What a cool way to finish off halloween weekend with @streamfranchise playing at @thatkevinsmith childhood theater, @smodcastlecinemas. Had such a great time with everyone and meeting all the fans, seeing cosplays and seeing new people watch it for the first time! Its also another excuse for me to spend time with some of my favorite people out there.
