You Choose the Next Krampus Weapon
over 10 years ago – Tue, Nov 03, 2015 at 01:13:47 PM

Hey F&Z Heads!

Axe, Mace, Crossbow...what's next? You Decide!

• You suggest the instrument of death
• We make it and use it in the film
• You take it home when we wrap

Ok, how's it work?

• Jump to the Facebook page
• Leave a comment suggesting your best weapon concept
• We'll announce the winner Friday at 10am PST

We have to run this through Facebook as Kickstarter frowns on anything outside their guidelines. Look for this image:

Have some crazy creative friends? Let them know too! Sure, it will lessen your chances...but it will help the film! And that's what we're all here for, right? Making the best G.D. puppet monster movie imaginable!

The Stakes are REAL!

We used to complain about how small our 380 sq. foot studio was....until we lost it. I just moved and no longer have access to our little garage. This is what remains of what was once the Frank & Zed set:

I wanted to share this to show you all where your support is going. By backing this project, you're giving Frank & Zed a new home. Perhaps one with heat?  :)

Backer Suggestions

We're getting lots of great suggestions on how to spread the word. And one of the most common bits of advice is to "Ask for help." So, that's what we're going to do now: could you share our little project with two new people this week? 

We're getting close to our goal and we're really looking forward to sharing our ideas for stretch goals with you all!

Thanks so much!

Hey There F&Z Heads!

I would like to thank all of our old friends for coming back and all of our new friends for starting the journey with us.

Today, I want to talk to you about the man who comes round every December and, of course, I'm talking about Krampus.

The villagers have worked his visage into all of their weapons. Why? How? Learn for yourself in this exciting video update!

Backer Suggestion - Make some Backer Banners!

Now, many of you know that we are better filmmakers than Kickstarter-ers, and so we have asked for your help...and you delivered!

We were given the excellent suggestion of making some Backer Banners to share, so you can brag about your patronage of puppet horror and con other people into joining the horde.

Here they are!

You should be able to Right Click to Save As these images. If you have any trouble, contact us and we will sort it out.

If you are looking for something else to share, you can go to this Flickr site to download hi-res production stills.

Know a good musician? We're looking for better tracks to use with the updates?

Do you Reddit? We've had many people suggest we 'get on Reddit' but none of the team uses the site enough to not come off as a total newbie spammer.
