Ghost Show Press has a whole bunch of RPG names lined up to contribute to Fantastic Flops.
Fantastic Flops is a book about misjudged films that broke the rules and is the third in the Everyone’s Gone to the Movies series following Subversive Sci-Fi and Transgressive Horror. It’s a Kickstarter project with about three weeks left to run.
Names authors include, but are not limited to, Justin Achilli, Matthew Dawkins, Ken Hite, Mike Mason, Cynthia Celeste Miller, Eddy Webb and John Wick.
The movies featured are equally diverse, with titles like Showgirls, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, Vampire Hunter, Sucker Punch, Battlefield Earth and Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves. There’s even Fight Club, but was that really a flop? I’m sure it broke all sorts of rules; I mean, it walked about Fight Club.
Fantastic Flops — Reflections on Misjudged Films That Broke the Rules salutes movies and movie-makers that fearlessly challenged the way flicks are made, viewed, marketed, released, and merchandised. Within its redemptive pages, Fantastic Flops presents an eclectic mix of today’s most talented scribes sharing their humor and insights about their favorite groundbreaking films. Readers will see the classics in all new ways, and find some new far-out thrills to buy, rent, or stream.
Certainly, if you want to rent a movie today, it’s much easier than when movies like Vampire Hunter came out. We have Hulu, CBS, Roku, Hayu, Now TV, Peacock TV, Crunchyroll and dozens of others challenging Netflix, Apple and Amazon.
Backers get an eBook (ePub and PDF) of Fantastic Flops as a thank you for a $20 pledge.
Those who can step up to $25 will also get a print copy, with print and shipping to pay.
There are more tiers, though. $35 backers get a personal thanks, and then at $50, all three eBooks in the volume are included. On that note, $65 unlocks all three in print and $75 all three in print with thanks.
Backers can go further, and Ghost Show Press will try and match that generosity by extending the tiers. $175 in support gets people on their podcast as a guest. $215 supporters even get to introduce a film of their choice, with $250 adding the physical books to that as a reward.
The estimated delivery is December this year.
