A good friend in Wisconsin just brought this bit of news to Your Humble Reviewer’s atten­tion — an inter­est­ing new doc­u­men­tary called Psychopath is look­ing for a lit­tle help from mem­bers its prospec­tive audi­ence.  It’s the story of a makeup-FX enthu­si­ast, his dream of stag­ing a state-of-the-art haunted house attrac­tion using his own cre­ations and all the obsta­cles he must ove­come.  The pro­duc­ers are look­ing for fin­ish­ing funds to help them com­plete the pic­ture and you can donate as lit­tle as $1 to help them out.  Read on for more details as well as a killer trailer guar­an­teed to whet your appetite…

FROM THE KICKSTARTER PAGE FOR PSYCHOPATH:

Victor Marquez is a garbage man in rural Oklahoma. His entire life he’s wanted to be involved with spe­cial FX make-up, and work in movies. His plan was halted when he met Suezette. She was a beau­ti­ful blonde, with a fire red Trans Am and an 8-Track cas­sette player always blast­ing Heart. The only catch was, Suezette was his high school gym teacher. They even­tu­ally got mar­ried and raised a fam­ily, and Victor put his Hollywood dreams on hold.

25 years later, we find Victor is run­ning a suc­cess­ful garbage route in the Tulsa, Oklahoma area. He plans on tak­ing the money he’s saved from the garbage route, and wants to build a haunted house theme park attrac­tion in the woods called PSYCHOPATH. He believes he’ll be able to do spe­cial effects, build ani­ma­tron­ics, and live his life­long dream of scar­ing peo­ple with his art. This all seems quite harm­less, except the peo­ple that live around the pro­posed theme park are not happy. Some threaten to kill him, oth­ers threaten to burn the park down, and when the threats don’t work they take him to zon­ing court. Victor is granted 5 years to prove to the com­mu­nity that the park will fol­low all the rules, and not cause any disruptions.

Everything I just described is what we’ve already shot. Our film crew was there for the first year of the build­ing of the park, and through some of the court bat­tles Victor had to fight along the way. Now we want to return and shoot the con­clu­sion of the 5 years, and see how Victor’s is hold­ing up.

We are try­ing to raise money for our return to Oklahoma in a few weeks. By shoot­ing new inter­views that stand out from our orig­i­nal footage, and by shoot­ing more cin­e­matic B-Roll/coverage, we’ll be able to enrich the story of Victor and the Psychopath to a new level. I have an award win­ning group of film­mak­ers will­ing to assist me and work for noth­ing, we’re just try­ing to cover our flights, gear rentals and any other expenses.

Please take a look at our trailer from our first years shoot and I hope you’ll want to be a part of the next jour­ney into the PsychoPath!
