The Vampire Awakens - Location Update

With just over a week left to our crowdfunding campaign, we thought we give you a glimpse of our filming locations.

In order to secure these locations, we need your help. Join us in this endeavour to make this film super fantastically awesome by contributing to our Indiegogo campaign.

The Vampire Awakens - costume update

With production less than 2 months away, we have started looking at costumes for The Vampire Awakens. Much like the script, the costumes will be inspired by Star Wars: The Force Awakens. The first costume that we looked at is the leader of the vampires, Kirsty, who we wanted to be a Darth Vader type of leader - cold, ruthless and feared. Here is an artists idea for the character:

In every Killer Bikini Vampire Girls film, the costumes have been something that we have put thought into, more than most people would probably realise. In Return of the Killer Bikini Vampire Girls, Quinn's black leather jacket was directed inspired by Wesley Snipes costume in the Blade films. In The Killer Bikini Vampire Girls Strike Back, Anthony's costumes were directly inspired by Jon Bon Jovi in Vampires Los Metros. When we started developing Killer Bikini Vampire Girls 3, Sarah's costume was inspired by Dame Diana Rigg's costume in an episode of The Avengers. And in Death of the Killer Bikini Vampire Girls, Amy's costume was modelled off Gwen Stefani.

Anniversary Month

The end of July marks the end of filming of the first Killer Bikini Vampire Girls film back in 2005. It still amazes all of us how quickly those 10 years flew by. But the more we reminisce, the more we look forward to the next chapter.

Friday Flashback

What better way to celebrate another Friday in July than with another lobby card. This one comes from the second film, The Killer Bikini Vampire Girls Strike Back and features several school girls that have been turned into vampires.

Vampire Awakens - Production Update

In the next couple of days, we will be announcing all the details about auditions for the next Killer Bikini Vampire Girls film - make sure to keep an eye on our Facebook page for all the details.

Friday Flashback

Welcome to July - the month where we celebrate the 10th anniversary of shooting the very first Killer Bikini Vampire Girl short film. It is amazing to think of all the changes that have happened over the last 10 years. The first film was shot on a Panasonic MX500 which was a $4000 broadcast quality camera back in 2005, where as today most mobile phones shoot better quality vision. In the last 10 years, Australia had it's first female Prime Minister, the USA had it's first African American President, and the Catholic Church had a Pope who wanted to resign - something that hasn't happened since 1294. Everyone's life changed with the invention of iPads, Facebook killed Myspace, the Harry Potter book series (and movie series) were finished, Marvel and Lucasfilm were bought by Disney, Borders bookstores went bankrupt, and Kate Upton had bikini photoshoots in Antarctica and in zero gravity! Always in our minds was the idea of doing a new film featuring the Killer Bikini Vampire Girls, but it was only with the announcement of a new Star Wars film that we finally got the inspiration we had been looking for. By the end of this month, we plan to have cast the film and be in the full swing of pre-production. Stay tuned for updates.

Vampire Awakens - Production Update

This weekend we had fun scouting for locations to film in later in the year. The highlight was finding an awesome forest for the opening sequence. Can't wait until we start filming!

Flashback Friday

As we approach July (which sees the 10th anniversary of when we shot Return of the Killer Bikini Vampire Girls), we thought why not look back at the fun we had and reminisce. To share that with our fans, we thought "let's make some old style lobby cards from the first 4 Killer Bikini Vampire Girls films" - and here is one to get you excited!

Taken from the second film, The Killer Bikini Vampire Girls Strike Back, we see Quinn being attacked by a horde of killer bikini vampire girls, including the first killer bikini vampire girl to appear on screen: Eliza (played by Tiffany Elt).

We're Back!

That's right - after many years away, we have decided to make a new film to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Return of the Killer Bikini Vampire Girls!

It's hard to believe that it was 10 years ago this month that two friends caught up for a chat that went something like this:
JJ: So what have you been working on lately?
JS: I have this idea for the Red Dwarf fan film competition.
JJ: Oh. What's your idea?
JS: A short film about the Killer Bikini Vampire Girls.
JJ: I HAVE TO DIRECT IT!

And that got the ball rolling. A week later the script was written, and a week after that pre-production started. We had so much fun in pre-production alone that we decided to make it a series! It was a crazy 9 months where we shot 4 Killer Bikini Vampire Girls films, shooting 2 and 3 at the same time in January 2006. It was an amazing rollercoaster of excitement - lets see if we can have as much fun on number 5!

Returning to the original concept of spoofing the film titles of the Star Wars series, the fifth film in the KBVG series will be Killer Bikini Vampire Girls: The Vampire Awakes which we plan to release just prior to Star Wars Episode 7. Goal set - now make it so!
