Director Chris R. Notarile has been busy this year releasing short films outlining the origin of Freddy Krueger and how he became The Nightmare on Elm Street. He's just released his fifth installment in the series which shows the lead up to the boiler room fire we are all familiar with! The production value isn't the greatest, but I love the concept of watching the events that led to his creation! I would love to see this series redone as a television series or something! See the latest installment below, and check out their Youtube for the prior episodes!

Thanks to Dread Central for the tip.

There are a lot of fans out there that are curious as to what all went on in Freddy Krueger's life before he was burned alive. One such fan, Chris Notarile, has taken this wonder and from 2011-2014 has created a now four part short film series based on this idea titled Krueger. Notarile wanted to show that Freddy was a truly disgusting human being, well deserving of the fate that awaited him in the end. Roberto Lombardi, who portrays Freddy, real…...

Filmmaker Chris R. Notarile is back with another entry into his web series that offers a backstory behind A Nightmare on Elm Street's most infamous dream demon. Check out Krueger - The Slasher from Elm Street right here, right now. This guy can totally slay the role of Freddy. Lord knows he has the look!

The project stars Roberto Lombardi as Freddy Krueger before he was burned, and Lombardi actually does a pretty convincing job in the role. He is quite creepy trolling the playground and attempting to kidnap a young girl named Suzy (played by Brenna Lakatos).

Check out the film below along with a boatload of stills and artwork; then visit Chris R. Notarile's website for Blinky Productions.

Synopsis

In Springwood, long before he became a demon of dreams, Freddy Krueger stalked the streets under another name - The Springwood Slasher. Our new chapter picks up...

Aliens can be real pains in the ass. Literally even. Though we have no idea just what their fixation is with the human anus, we are glad that someone, somewhere plans on kicking a little ass back! Enter Chris R. Notarile's new film, Smith.

Notarile of Blinky Productions Inc. is happy to announce his next feature will be a sci-fi/horror film with a satirical twist. It will star Bree Olson (Human Centipede 3), Andrew Roth (My Name Is Paul), Roberto Lombardi (Perfect: Android Rising), and Drea-Nichole Olivas (The Retcon Chronicles).

Synopsis

A sci-fi/horror comedy about a secret government agency dedicated to responding to and investigating crank calls. While on a routine investigation, Agents Smith and Salisbury discover the 911 call about a homicidal alien on the loose in the woods, killing off campers, is true. Now the pencil-pushing duo must take on the larger than life menace before it rips them to shreds.

Welcome to The Last Horror Blog, a biweekly column on all things horror. Nightmare on Elm Street fan film delves into Freddy’s past – We all know the story of Freddy Krueger after that mob of angry parents set him ablaze, but when it comes to the early – and nonsupernatural days – of the Springwood Slasher, details are bit murky. That changes now. Filmmaker Chris R. Notarile has crafted a clever short film entitled Krueger: A Walk Through Elm Street. The six-minute mini movie showcases a human Freddy eyeing the children of Springwood in a very uncomfortable way. The dialogue is a bit rough in spots, but this is a cool little treat for Freddy fanatics. Elijah Wood’s SpectreVision will introduce us to The Boy – Elijah Wood has...

Our old pal Freddy Krueger has now appeared in a total of nine different films, and though we pretty much know the entire story of his life, death and fiery resurrection, there is one story that remains largely untold; the story of Freddy's life as the 'Springwood Slasher,' before he was targeted and burned alive by vengeful parents in A Nightmare on Elm Street.

True, Freddy's origins were delved into throughout the original franchise, and even in the premiere episode of Freddy's Nightmares as well as the 2010 remake, but the full story of Fred's days as the so-called Springwood Slasher has never been told - and if you're asking me, such a story would make for the perfect way to once again attempt to reboot the franchise, and bring something fresh and new to the table.

Filmmaker Chris R. Notarile feels the same way, and he just released the...

Filmmaker Chris R. Notarile wanted to do a fan film series based on the adventures of Freddy Krueger before the parents of Springwood torched him. And he's got the perfect actor to play the role.

Roberto Lombardi takes a back seat only to Robert Englund himself when it comes to playing Freddy. Vera VanGuard and Jacob Flowers co-star.

This is the third installment of Krueger: A Walk Through Elm Street, which are all written and directed by Notarile and star Lombardi as the legendary killer in the days when he terrorized children during their waking hours. And in this newest entry, Freddy gets an early meeting with one of his most famous targets.

The newest video is below, and we've included the two earlier entries as well. For more info visit the official Krueger: A Walk Through Elm Street Facebook page.

There’s a general misconception among casual horror fans that any flick produced by a fellow fan, or amateur, isn’t worth the time it takes to type in w-w-w-.-y-o-u-t-u-b-e-.-c-o-m.

Bona fide horror hounds have been tuned in to these inspired projects for years, understanding and respecting the effort devoted to a genuine passion piece. The detractors tend (this isn’t a rule carved in stone, mind you) to be the guys and gals who catch a macabre flick once every week or so, wiling to confess their affinity for the genre, but perhaps not devoted enough to qualify as a certified freak for terror, who haven’t taken the time to study these ambitious pictures.

The truth is, anyone who can openly acknowledge their love for horror can potentially find some brilliant fan productions, regardless of how dedicated one may or may not be. Sometimes fans just...

*an online screener of this film was provided by Chris R. Notarile.

Director/writer: Chris R. Notarile.

Cast: Mandy Evans, Kim Santiago, Ella Jane New and Kerri Miller.

Almost every great director had a low budget start. When comparing Quentin Tarantino’s first feature film, Reservoir Dogs to Chris Notarile’s second major project, Stand Off, there is no denying a few similarities—and Notarile shows plenty of potential as an indie producer/director. He has had plenty of practice with his short genre films on his website, Blinky Productions, and in his foray into feature length movies, he is keeping the movies he likes to make simple.

With Stand Off, there’s a deeper meaning that can be found, or it can simply be enjoyed at face value. And just like this director’s other short film projects, Notarile has no problems in borrowing from other works. He releases...

Press Release:

Year: 2007

Director:  Chris R. Notarile

Cast:  Brandon Slagle, Niki Rubin, Stephen Muzzonigro, Charles Cyphers, Rachael Robbins

On his birthday, young Nicholas brutally murders his parents with a hammer.  His sister is able to restrain him and he is sentenced to spend his life in mental institution.  As he is probed by his doctor on a regular basis, it becomes apparent that there is more to Nick's madness than meets the eye.  He has been possessed by a malevolent force called "The Dollman."  And the Dollman has been biding his time, slowly and methodically planning his escape from the institution.  Twenty years after the brutal murder, he escapes to head back to his small hometown to finish his rampage, with his two surviving sisters as his main focus.

Apparently, director and writer Chris R. Notarile adapted Methodic from remake to Halloween that he wrote and planned to film.  Rob Zombie beat him to the punch,...

Remember back in the day when your worst concern about having a one night stand would be a nagging (possibly burning) itch? Yeah, I barely do myself, but from what I hear, the Sixties and Seventies were one hell of a free love screwfest! But times have drastically changed, and for one couple in this latest short film, the shit has hit the fan!

Director Chris R. Notarile dropped us a line to let us know that his latest short film, One Night Stand, is now available for all those prying eyes out there to dig on.

Filmed for just one hundred dollars in less than three hours, One Night Stand stars Zoe Sloane and Chase Coleman, who will also be starring in Notarile's upcoming feature Daddy's Girl, due out next year.

Director Chris R. Notarile is probably best known in geekdom for his short films featuring comic book characters.

In 2006, he wrote and directed Catwoman: The Diamond Exchange, starring Niki Rubin as the feline felon; Joker, starring Bryan Bockbrader and with Deanna Miller as accomplice Harley Quinn; and I'm Power Girl Dammit!!! with Tawnya Manion as the title character, Guile Branco as Bizarro (an opposite version of Superman) and Sarah Durning as Oracle (a later identity of Batgirl).

Last year he returned to the superhero genre with a new short called Elektra (The Hand & The Devil) with Kim Santiago as Elektra and Adam Shorsten as Daredevil.

Next in the pipeline for Chris is a twisted suspense thriller called Daddy's Girl. It's his second feature film following 2007's Methodic about a boy possessed by a demonic presence called The Dollman.

The filmmaker has now released a trailer, poster and synopsis for the film,...

Daddy's Girl has a sexy, but deadly look, in this second poster for the film. Director Chris R. Notarile tells me that Zoe Sloane was his third choice to play Jess (seen left). Creative differences led to two other actresses being removed from the film. Fans of independent horror can check out Zoe Sloane speaking into the camera about murder in this first trailer, for Daddy's Girl, below. The film will be available once production is complete. More details below.

The synopsis for Daddy's Girl here:

"Jessica Hailey (Zoe Sloane), by day, is your typical girl next door. At first glance, she is sweet, innocent, charming and outgoing. But the real Jessica is something much darker and sadistic. By night, Jessica is a twisted, deviant sociopath. She is manipulative and highly sexual with a heart of ice. To know the real Jessica is a scary thing (Blink)."

Release Date: 2010-2011.

Director/writer: Chris R. Notarile.

Daddy's Girl from director Chris R. Notarile (Methodic) goes into production this spring and already there is a movie poster available. A "suspense thriller about a psychotic teenage girl," Daddy's Girl will star John Wesley Shipp. Still in the early phases of production, the available info, including a new website, are available below.

Tagline:

"I will kill for you."

A full synopsis for Daddy's Girl here:

"A manipulative teenager convinces her widowing, alcoholic, over-protective father that the boy she asked out on a date raped her, when in fact he turned down her advances. But, no amount of facts can persuade this enraged father of the truth. No one hurts Daddy’s girl (Blink Productions)!"

Release Date: 2010.

Director: Chris Notarile.

Cast: John Wesley Shipp (CSI: NY, Karma Police).

More details will be posted at the film's official website:
