Freddy VS Ghostbusters featured in UK's Day/Night magazine

A few months back, a reporter from the UK’s Day/Night magazine (I think that’s what it’s called) emailed me and wanted to do a feature on Freddy VS Ghostbusters. Naturally, I wasn’t going to shoot down any free publicity we might receive, so I was happy to help. A month or so later, the article was out. Now, the article is pretty well written, and I certainly appreciate the attention. However, why is it the press can never get anything right?

There are a number of mistakes in this article, and I thought I’d take a moment to rebut these discrepancies. You may read the entire article here, but I’ll pull some excerpts below:

“Cheap video cameras and PC editing suites have sparked a new craze for making hime-made homages and sequel to Hollywood films.”

Now, I don’t want to be a dick…but my camera wasn’t cheap! It set me back a few alimony payments! It might be cheap to a millionaire filmmaker, but to someone who sells cocaine to finance his films, this is a lot of money!

“One of the best out there at the moment is Freddy vs Ghostbusters…”

You’re damn right it is.

“…Which spoofs last year’s Hollywood hit Freddy vs Jason.”

What? This isn’t a spoof! This is a legitimate contender for an Oscar! Also, I don’t recall seeing Jason anywhere in the title!

“As the site says, ‘It’s the man of your dreams versus the men with the proton beams!’”

I never said that.

“It was filmed on digital video by a group of Canadian youngsters…”

Hold on. Just stop. What did they just say? Canadian youngsters? What the shit?!? Seriously. Where the hell did they get that one? So I play hockey in my spare time, and now suddenly I’m Canadian? Youngsters? I suppose I’m pretty young if the person writing this is over the hill. Holy hell. Canadian youngsters. Wow.

“It’s a little slipshod in places…”

What? Up yours, buddy!

“…but well worth watching, “

That’s better. Just thought I’d set the record straight! Also, what is up with that goofy picture they used? Our sweet poster wasn't good enough?
