Deathstalker meets The Evil Dead in this gory, practical-effects-filled, 80's inspired Sword & Sorcery Horror!
This post is for backers only. Please visit Kickstarter.com and log in to read.
EPIC News has emerged from the cavern of the Bearded One (me), but let me start by thanking you from the bottom of my heart for the support you've shown so far in bringing back the 1980s Sword and Sorcery! What we're doing might seem impossible, but it's not, thanks to you! Now, we have a fighting chance of reaching our Stretch Goals, which will not only improve the quality of our film but also allow us to build sets for the sequel "The Slave and the General" to be shot next year.
To help us with this task, we have a match pledger willing to match 50% of every pledge made in the next 48 hours. So, if you know anyone who's sitting on the fence or if you're considering taking advantage of any of our fantastic reward upgrades, now is the time, folks!
NEW 4K SUPER RESOLUTION DIGITAL VERSION
For the connoisseur of high-resolution super fanciness, where you can see the bumble-bee reflected in the eye of Tyrol the Slave or the infinite permutations of goo dripping from Arlo the Torturer's beard, we have prepared a very special... very technically demanding 4k Super High Bit Digital Download Version.
In addition, pledgers of this reward will receive a digital download of the film's extras, which are also featured on the Blu-Ray.
This item is available as a Reward called "4K DIGITAL EDITION" (£20 / $25) or as an add-on priced £15 or $20 (saving you £5 / $7).
FREE BOOK OF BEASTLY CREATURES VOL. 2 UPGRADE
Our beautiful hardback second volume of Horror Short Stories, featuring creatures and demons, now comes with a FREE UPGRADE for every pledger in this campaign. Previously, we had a £70 ($100) reward that included your name in the printed thank you credits. However, we have now eliminated it! Instead, we're offering it for free to every backer who pledges for this fantastic new reward. This is an exclusive offer for this campaign, and you can nominate someone like a friend or a loved one to receive your credit if you prefer.
You automatically qualify for this reward if you have already pledged for the Book. If you haven't, simply go to 'manage pledge,' 'change pledge,' and then select the same reward you had before. Voila! The add-ons will appear! From the list, choose either our standard, signed, or signed and dedicated editions of the book.
Prepare to become immortal in the world of publishing
NEW VHS REWARD OPTION!
For just £20 ($25) extra, backers can add the new Standard Edition VHS to any pre-existing pledge. Folks can also upgrade from the Special Edition Reward to the "BLU-RAY SPECIAL EDITION & VHS" reward to receive both the Blu-Ray and VHS.
Folks who pledge for this new Reward (or have already pledged for the Blu-Ray and Standard or Special Edition VHS) will receive a special thank you video starting today!
And let me tell you why. I'm passionate about our VHS reward and bringing back some of the fun from that era. I hope you guys go for it, and if you do, I'll personally thank you for it.
MYSTERY HORROR FILM REWARD!
Our 'MYSTERY Horror Movie!' is a thrilling film that the Hex Team secretly filmed. Though it's a modest project, it's a full-length feature film. Who knows what it's about? That's part of the fun! You can include this reward in your pledge by selecting it as an add-on called 'MYSTERY Horror Movie!
Did I mentioned you'll get a 4k download as well? AND... did I mention that anyone who pledges will get a shout out in the credits?
HOW DO ADD KICKSTARTER ADD-ONS TO MY PLEDGE?
Guys, even I find this tricky. So, I found a simply video guide that explains how to do this quickly!
AND FINALLY...
If you haven't had a chance yet, you can still add the stunning photo-set rewards we've produced with Megan Tremethick, including the Hammer Goddess & S&S Photo-Set (pictured below and available as a bundle), as well as the incredible "+A NIGHT WITH JIGME". This experience will allow you to rest by the campfire as Megan brings her Jigme character back to life from Dragon Knight, sharing three tales along with another fantastic set of photos
Megan Tremethick's photo set rewards are available as add-ons, named "Hammer Goddess Photo-Set," "Sword & Sorcery Photo Set," and "A Night with Jigme." We even have "A Night with Jigme and Little Jigme," which includes an awesome Games Workshop scale miniature of Jigme from Dragon Knight!
AND FINALLY....
There's still time to enhance your love life with the help of this add-on reward "Seduce thine Maiden" which is hilarious, outrageous and utterly disturbing! Of course it is... it's written by me!
As I mentioned, for the next 48 hours, your pledge or upgrade will be 50% matched, giving us a huge chance to reach our stretch goals. These goals include producing a castle wall and a big desert backdrop mural for an epic battle! Our "Man the Wall" and "Desert Horde" stretch goals are apocalyptic improvements for our next film, and they will also enhance our current film.
This extra support will enable us to provide you all with the highest quality rewards and experience. By working together, we can achieve those stretch goals and transform the world of indie film by restoring a forgotten sub-genre of fantasy cinema!
If you're interested in any upgrades to our Acting Rewards or Producer Credit Rewards, we're delighted to offer generous discounts during the next 48 hours, thanks to our match pledger. Please feel free to send us a message if you'd like to explore the possibilities.

Folks! We've got fantastic news to share. Thanks to all of your incredible efforts, we have smashed our Campaign Goal for "The Slave and the Sorcerer"! Woo-hoo! 🎉
But guess what? We're not stopping there! Right now, we're working our asses off to gather the resources needed to make that film even more mind-blowing. And that's not all—we're also gearing up for the development and pre-production of our thrilling sequel, "The Slave and the General!"
So, hold onto your leather breeches because we've got two Stretch Goals to announce. The first one will take you right into the heart of our filmmaking adventure. You'll become an exclusive member of our secret Facebook Group, where you'll get all the inside scoop and behind-the-scenes of our attempts to make the films and to conceal the evidence of any industrial accidents on set... er... PLUS, you'll have the chance to join in a video Ask Me Anything (AMA) session with the incredible cast themselves!
The second Stretch Goal is nothing short of epic. We're talking about building a freakin' castle wall, folks! Yes, you heard it correctly—A CASTLE WALL! As the sequel unfolds amidst a thrilling castle siege, Tyrol is back with his mercenary crew, taking on the impossible task of defending the castle against a fearsome and formidable General. This could be the Apocalypse Now of 1980's Sword and Sorcery!
We can't thank you enough for your unwavering support and enthusiasm. Together, we're going to fight for the return of cult cinema. Let's work together and create something truly extraordinary! 🎬💫
AND....
In celebration of hitting our first goal we're introducing a new Reward, in the form of a digital PDF booklet produced by the "Prince of Seduction". You can add this £10 / $12 reward to your pledge through our list of add-ons.
To include an add-on with your pledge, hit "manage pledge" then "change pledge", then select the same reward you have and hit pledge... and the list of add-ons will appear. From that list... pick "Seduce Thine Maiden" to become the ultimate lothario!
Every pledger will also have their names included in the book's Thank You Acknowledgements
