Seduce Thine Maiden is COMPLETE! and NEWS!
This literary epic of medieval romance is enough to rival Chaucer's Canterbury Tales. Behold the wisdom of the Master of Seduction (whom you might also recognise from the movie as the Master of Riddles!).
In this powerful and ancient tome, he dispenses 13 sacred chapters on how any manly knight or twirly squire might seduce a buxom maiden. These 13 chapters neatly cover every type of lady in the modern world! It's really that extensive, and the text is truly that ancient.
You can ACTUALLY get it for just $5 by chipping in and becoming a member of our new Patreon for 'British Horror Studio'. It's a big grand-daddy type name for a group of creative ventures that make horror productions. This includes Hex Studios, Amicus Productions, and Fife Creative Studios. They're all working together to champion indie horror, and of course, that also includes our sword and sorcery work (including our proposed sequel for 'The Slave and the Sorcerer').
I'm posting updates on the Patreon every day, so check it out over here. There is also a free tier, so you can read the updates, get a sense of the community we're building, and all that.
Almost all the rewards are in the mail, but just a handful of folks still need to answer their surveys! Wah! Nevertheless, most folks have their goodies, or they are on the way. Folks waiting for signed goodies in North America and Europe should have them this week, if not already.
For those in Australia, New Zealand, or places in Southern Europe... don’t ask me why, it takes a bit longer. That will be this week or next week.
If anything hasn’t arrived after next week, then hit me up at [email protected].
We’ll also be in touch during the week if we’ve messed up anything (like, for example, if I was drunk and said something like... sure, I’ll lick your Blu-ray disc, but actually, you only wanted it signed).
Also, folks can expect digital versions of The Slave and the Sorcerer this Tuesday, along with a copy of a very special Arlo the Torturer short story (in which he tortures several of our real-life Kickstarter backers) - perfect! Er...
NEMAIN'S MOVIE BUILDS MOMENTUM
Of course, we're still urging folks to head over to Megan Tremethick's new campaign for her creepy, anime-inspired J-Horror mind-screwing horror-fest called 'Spoiling You'.
If you had to pick up your eyeballs admiring Meg in The Slave and the Sorcerer, you'll be twice as admiring of her again as a beautiful, talented actress, aaaand...
AAAaaaannnnd as a filmmaker. Because this lady's got it! So, Hex Studios is doing what it can to support her, and I hope you do too!
She's just about reached 600 folks on her pre-launch page who've hit that get notified button, but I'm hoping we can help her get to 650.
Even if we have to kidnap little people and force them to multiply. Actually... I'm not sure that's really necessary.
So, what's next?
Next, we finish up on the little rewards, quirky things, and make sure everyone’s got their stuff. Then... we get to work on plans to distribute this movie, and plans to make another one! You know... the sequel called The Slave and the General.
And... I'm at your mum's each Thursday night when you're tucked up in bed. Dressed as Arlo...
Okay, that one might not be true.
Not yet.
SEQUEL NEWS! Postage Update & Have You Seen This?

Postage Update
Folks, we're working our asses off right now on mailing goodies and getting them out as soon as possible. Almost 95% of the rewards have been dispatched, and we've just had to order a few extra NTSC VHS rewards and additional t-shirts due to late survey responses with sizes.
Of course, goodies are being shipped all around the world. As of next Monday, the 20th, you can email [email protected], and we'll attempt to get back to anyone with progress reports on delivery. Bear in mind that deliveries can take anywhere between 48 hours and up to 4 weeks if you live on a wee island off the coast of Greece.
But... remember this - we've got your back. Everyone will get their reward. It's just, you know what life is like. You think you have it all: bronzed muscles, a beautiful gal, a roast goat's head, and then... suddenly, you have to go on the keto diet and eat nothing but microwave hot dogs and drink bourbon. Er... that's perhaps a little too much confession time.
Sequel News!
Well, it seems you guys don't hate the movie! You like it! IN FACT... MANY OF YOU LOVE IT! So, I'm delighted to confirm that the sequel is now in active development, and even now we're working hard on the very beginnings of a campaign to make it all happen.
While I can't confirm many narrative details yet, it's safe to say that your favourite heroes shall be returning, and that things will get a little darker, a little sexier, a little scarier! You'll also want something to keep the sun off your head because we'll be going on a journey through the desert... in an acrid desert climate towards a horrifying decision. Cairo International Airport... no, not that place. In fact, I'm sure it's very nice.
I'm also delighted to confirm, that Tyrol (Chris Black) and Nemain (Megan Tremethick) shall return!
The Seductive Nemain is making a movie!
Our very own horror Vivian Leigh, Cornish Hazel Court, and sexy sorceress Megan Tremethick is producing our first horror feature film called 'Spoiling You,' which launches on Kickstarter next week. NEXT WEEK!
She's been a faithful and loyal ally to Hex Studios and to our revival of Amicus Productions. Her film, which is a startling blend of Gothic and J-Horror, promises to provide a spine-tingling experience with a disturbing air of intensity.
In fact, her film looks set to be absolutely nuts. Think 'Suicide Club' by Sion Sono on acid... but I digress. It's a pretty extreme film, let's put it like that. Nobody but an indie would make it, so that's why she has my full support, and I hope your support as well!
Please join me in supporting Megan Tremethick by hitting the link to visit her campaign and smacking that 'get notified' button! It's worth it for all of us to support talented young ladies who adore Gothic Horror and classic British horror cinema!

Hello everyone!
Just a quick update for you all. We are currently in the process of shipping over 2,000 rewards. Please keep in mind that packing, posting, checking, signing, and managing various other details take time.
Many of you have already received your goodies, and we're thrilled to hear that! However, for those still waiting, we ask for a bit of patience and understanding. We are working as quickly as possible to get all the rewards out. It's also worth noting that some rewards are being shipped from the UK to the USA, while others are shipped domestically within the USA. This might result in different delivery times.
We assure you that everyone will receive their rewards. I've received numerous requests for real-time postal tracking. Currently, we only receive updates when items are in transit, delivered, or if delivery fails. This limited tracking helps us keep postage costs significantly lower than they otherwise would be (unless we were Amazon!).
On Monday, we will issue a postage report and reach out to anyone missing information (like t-shirt sizes). We will confirm all details via a specific email address, which we will share at that time.
Please refrain from sending updates about address changes, or other personal updates, through social media or direct messages—it's challenging to track changes that way. Instead, we'll provide a dedicated email for you to use starting Monday.
We expect the majority of you will receive your rewards next week, with nearly everyone else receiving theirs the following week.
Bear with us, friends! Digital rewards will be issued shortly after most of the physical rewards have been delivered, as has always been our policy here on Kickstarter.
Thank you for your support and understanding!

FIXED - An Infernally Good Update and a Stupendous Endorsement!

An Infernally Good Update and a Stupendous Endorsement!
Behold, I'm thrilled and excited to announce that the goodies are being posted out. Now, as you read this, a flight of panic might hit you—if you haven't clicked something crucial like 'confirm address', or you're expecting a DVD instead of a Blu-ray, or something magical like that.
You can reach me here and on Facebook, and I will be answering queries (including messages sent recently). I'm always accessible!
At the moment, Blu-rays are being posted and are en route. They're going out in bundles, and folks will receive them at different stages (geographically related), but the first deliveries will probably be to the USA, UK, and Europe. Signed and bundle rewards will take a little longer since I have to sign them in the UK and post them out. However, rest assured, everything goes out this week.
I'm beyond excited because we're bringing back '80s Sword and Sorcery the right way—sexy, gory, and funny with plenty of action. I'm already stoked about the sequel, and making this into a trilogy, but first things first... let's get you a copy of your movie!
NEMAIN THE SORCERESS IS MAKING HER FIRST MOVIE!
As I mentioned in the video, our sorceress Nemain (a.k.a. Cornish beauty Megan Tremethick) is making her first-ever horror feature film called 'Spoiling You'. She has produced shorts before and has always been a loyal and faithful servant to Hex Studios!
Meg's just launched her 'Spoiling You' Kickstarter Pre-Launch campaign and I sincerely hope, that everyone visits the link and hits the get notified button! I whole heartedly endorse this project! Link Right Here.
'Spoiling You' is an intense psychological horror film that draws inspiration from the classic era of J-Horror, with films such as Audition, Suicide Club, and Kairo. Megan plays a shy, lonely girl whose anime cosplay-inspired alter-ego 'Miss Mutter' runs a sensual ASMR YouTube channel.
It goes without saying that there is a little more to 'Miss Mutter' than meets the eye. When she discovers her number one fan, she invites him over for a private session...
There, she reveals a terrifying secret that even made the hairs on my neck stand on end when I read the script! You can expect a film that swings between the wild and the deadly serious, always keeping you on your toes!
