ATTENTION SLASHER FANS:
This coming Friday the 13th, Slasher Studios is heading to the windy city for the big screen debut of TEDDY. As an officail selection of the Chicago Fear Fest, TEDDY is ready to wow the audience opening night and fingers are crossed for what the award ceremony has in store for us. With countless positive reviews and an ever growing fan base, we at Slasher Studios can’t “bear” the wait as we get ready for the festival.
If you have a free weekend and are able to make the trip to northern Illinois, we strongly urge you to do so. A film festival is an amazing way to see exciting new work from up and coming filmakers, meet new people and have fun at the nightly parties.
So, join us in Chicago if you can and be the first to see TEDDY on the big screen. TEDDY will be shown at 4:30pm on Friday in the main theater. We will be there with free DVDs and are looking forward to meeting our fans!
We announced earlier this week that Teddy had been chosen as an official selection in the Chicago Fear Fest in Rosemont, IL. Well, now we have some other big news to share with you.

We here at Slasher Studios are pleased to bring you another review of “Teddy: It’s Gonna Be a Bear.” The word of mouth has been incredible for our little “80’s slasher in woods” homage. The Funhouse says Teddy “is 11 minutes of pure fun. It’s made in homage to a genre the filmmakers clearly love and that aspect shines throughout it. It wears its love of 80s slashers on its sleeve without feeling dated. The filmmakers have talent and I can’t wait to see more from. I really enjoy Teddy and I hope you do too.” A HUGE thank you for the awesome review Funhouse! To read the whole review click on the link below. Also, make sure to check out the other reviews and horror segments they have on The Funhouse blog. They are definitely a blog that Slasher Studios will be watching to see how it evolves into all its bloody gory.
We have been giving so much time and attention to “Popularity Killer” lately that we don’t want to forget about our baby, “Teddy”. Well, speak of the little devil spawn..we just received another review for the film. Max Ingram from Rabid Dog Press, who also reviewed “Popularity Killer” yesterday, gave the film an 8 out of 10 and said “Teddy is another incredible example of what a small group of passionate people can do no matter how limited their time and resources may be. I’ve seen multi-million dollar films that couldn’t capture my interest as well as Teddy did, and this project was completed on a $3,000 budget over the course of a four day shoot. Can you imagine that?”
Those of you who haven’t seen it and order it at the paypal link below and don’t forget to check out Max’s review:

Those that order today get a free, signed mini poster!
As executive producer and director of TEDDY, we had two goals when we began this project. (1) We set out to create an in-your-face slasher film that would appeal to horror fans and (2) make a movie that we were proud of. We feel as though we achieved both goals. As many of you may know, TEDDY had been selected to the Chicago Fear Fest and received a fantastic review from Cinema Crazed. We thought everyone would love our film, we guess we thought wrong…
Every student coming into the Arizona State University film program is told that they will never be censored. That being said, this movie was not allowed to be shown in this year’s annual capstone showcase. We were shocked at the resistance we got from the capstone committee. One faculty member stated the film was, “troubling and traumatizing.†Our response? “Thanks. It’s a horror movie.â€
Fellow students felt that completely censoring the film would do more harm than good. Being able to show the piece and then discuss it afterward would have been beneficial to all. But in the end, the committee wouldn’t budge and we were denied the screening that we had been looking forward to for years.
But this is about more than just us. Several students in next year’s class have already thought about changing their scripts or abandoning them all together in fear of being censored. Could the ASU film program be blocking the next big filmmaker?
Furthermore, we know our friends, family, cast/crew and myself were greatly anticipating this moment. We wanted this to be more about them, than about us. Being able to thank them and for them to see how their support has contributed to making this movie was exciting to us.
Throughout this whole mess, Steve’s professor and many of his fellow classmates have showed amazing support. They wore TEDDY bracelets to show their support during the showcase. We thank everyone who stood up for TEDDY. Steve must also thank his professor for always allowing him to follow his creative instincts. This is definitely a trait every teacher should have.
Please leave any questions or comments you may have. We would love to hear what others outside of ASU feel about this situation.
　
Thank you,
Steve Goltz

Felix Vasquez Jr. from Cinema Crazed says “director Steve Goltz is a talent to watch out for, if only for his ability to create one hell of a maniacal slasher film that is short in length but vast in talent and classic potential” and he foresees “”Teddy” being a hit at many horror film festivals from here on in and if you’re in the mood to bear this gem, by all means keep an eye out for it.” Thanks a lot for the awesome review Cinema Crazed. Below is a link where you can check out the review for yourself.
