Well, we made it back alive…or did we? The Villisca trip was a memorable one, filled with creepiness, exhaustion and red bulls. In a 24 hour period, we traveled 10 hours round trip, 12 for Ben and the Dane.
We’ve been receiving constant calls since we got back, and we are loving it. Apparently, everyone either thought we’d end up dead or possessed…turns out they were right.
We have stories. Tales of sinking feelings of dread, bodily numbness, summoning the dead (“Did you hear that?”), and gruesome stories of how they got that way. And it wouldn’t be a Vanish excursion if we didn’t have the quotes:
Mike: (at the Moore family gravesite) “You all can get in the van if you want. We’ll take you back to the house.”
Ben: “It smells like the devil in this room.”
Trista: “What’s up with his teeth?”
Bronson: “It’s Ber-Muda. Ber-muda. Not Ba-muda.”
Trevor: “By the power of Greyskull, I summon you!”
The Dane: “The preacher did it! Case closed! I’m out!”
So if of you can guess the context of any of these quotes (“Comments” to this post), we’ll recognize you on the “Night at Villisca” page.
We are still recuperating, so we haven’t gone through much footage. But the little that Mike saw looked optimistic. We’ll try to post a few teaser clips. Pictures should be up on the site in a few days, so check it.
Now, finishing post-production for “Sweet Damnation” will be the focus. “Night at Villisca” will follow.
Thanks again to the cast that endured that freaky-ass house, and all of you Vaniards for your support. Now we’re Ghost like Swayze…
