According to Fangoria, coming soon in 2007 to the SciFi Channel, these movies will screen: Yeti: Curse of the Snow Demon, an American World Pictures from a script by Rafael Jordan, and Lake Placid II, more about giant crocs in Maine, from Sony Pictures. Both sound enjoyable. Please, bring back more drive-ins.
By the way, Lake Placid from 1999 was set in Maine, but filmed in North Carolina. We do have lakes, trees, monsters, and really not that much snow in Maine, especially from June to August. Actors actually like our state. So do writers. Hollywood, how about shooting in Maine, not in those other places for our movies, for Maine-location flicks?
Matt: They do hibernate well, apparently in cryptofiction films. You can put any poikilothermic animal in the fridge without harming it, right? Why not in the mud around the side of a Maine lake? Alligators hibernate in burrows during cold weather. In Lake Placid, Maine (a location that doesn’t exist), the winters are mild, the cows are wholesome and juicy for crocodilian dinners, and the cover from Maine hunters is vast.
As to JJames, yes, sadly, I know, I know. Wishful thinking on my part. Besides, people think it is so cold in Maine, even though it is obvious shooting won’t happen (usually) during February here. Still, Stephen King has been happy to film here.
