“HOBOKEN HOLLOW”
www.hobokenhollow.com
SYNOPSIS:
In the horror/thriller, loosely based on real news accounts, a recently returned veteran struggling with war’s emotional shrapnel and drifting through Texas must fight for his life when he accepts a ride and a job at a ranch where workers are held captive by the vicious family who runs it.
The cast includes C. Thomas Howell (“E.T.,” “Red Dawn,” “Gods and Generals”), Mark Holton (“A League of Their Own,” “Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure,” “Leprechaun”), Michael Madsen (“Thelma & Louise,” “Reservoir Dogs”) and Dedee Pfeiffer (“Falling Down,” TV’s “CSI,” “The Dead Zone”) as well as actor-director Jason Connery (U.K. TV’s “Robin Hood of Sherwood,” “Hotel Paradiso”), actor-director Dennis Hopper and actor-producer-director Robert Carradine.
Lovers of horror films will relish the suspense as well as the gory special effects.
THE MAKING OF “HOBOKEN HOLLOW”
The delightfully gruesome “Hoboken Hollow,” written by Texas storyteller Glen Stephens and made by Molding Clay Productions, is set to premiere in Austin for a theatrical run in early February 2007. The DVD, distributed by Pumpjack Entertainment, will be available at national retail outlets in April.
When Stephens became intrigued by news accounts of a murderous “slave ranch” discovered near Kerrville, Texas, he researched the trial and gained access to articles, transcripts and prosecution recordings and considered doing a documentary.
However, knowing the public’s insatiable interest in gore, Stephens opted to write a screenplay for a docu-horror film loosely based on the family accused of kidnapping and torturing workers who couldn’t fill their quotas or tried to escape. The feature film “Hoboken Hollow,” named for a German synonym for Hell, was born.
Stephens also directed and produced the film, which was shot in spring 2005 entirely in and around the tiny Texas town of Menard, the hometown of Molding Clay Productions. Stephens’ 750-acre Hat Creek Ranch was transformed into fright-filled movie set. Locations such as the trading post at historical Fort McKavett and Menard’s Australian Hotel were also used.
For authenticity’s sake, Stephens includes the reproduction of a chilling audio recording the actual family made of the torture of one worker whose leg was cut with a chain saw and who later died; in fact, it’s the very first thing heard by “Hoboken Hollow” audiences.
“Hoboken Hollow” is the second film by Molding Clay Productions. The first, the dramatic and heartfelt family/adventure film “River’s End,” is the classic story of a rebellious youth put back on the right path by a wise elder and a wilderness quest.
GLEN STEPHENS
Raised on a small country farm in Southeast Texas, Glen Stephens learned early the value of hard work and the benefits of a vivid imagination. It was the combination of imagination, a knack for storytelling and a rich variety of experiences that led Stephens to screenwriting.
Over the years, he found that work as varied as master electrician, soldier, missionary pastor, rancher, farmer and real estate developer provided abundant writing material and a solid foundation on which to build stories. Stephens’ experience as a brother (one of four), husband and father to three sons further enrich his writing as does his love of athletics, hunting and fishing.
Stephens, who has 18 widely varied screenplays and four motion pictures (“Wooly Boys,” “Firedog,” “Hoboken Hollow,” “River’s End”) to his credit as a writer, producer, director and co-director, continues to turn out world-class scripts at an alarming pace. He has been a free-lance writer for 20 years and recently published his first novel, “Amarillo by Morning.”
