Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
Horror is cheap to make and cheap to parody and, for that and other reasons, attractive to make and to parody. Caesar and Otto's Paranormal Halloween (2015) is a parody horror film for the YouTube age. Caesar and Otto are the creation of writer/directer/actor Dave Campfield where two underachieving brothers who find themselves in horror stories. Here, Caesar (Campfield), Otto (Paul Chomicki), and their drunken father (Scott Aguillar) agree to housesit the evil governor's (Ken MacFarlane) second home over the winter. Craziness ensues with potential possessions, maybe murderous gardeners, hot neighbors, and three dopes caught up in more horror references than they can handle.

The Millennium Bug is any monster movie fans breath of fresh air! A movie with a fun story, crazy characters, a giant monster, with lots of blood, gore and dismemberments, all without the use of CGI. Plus this is an indie film people! I’d put it up against any studio monster movie, period! Godzilla meet The Millennium Bug!
Writer and director Kenneth Cran definitely has an imagination with a much welcomed monster movie for a new generation! The movie follows the Haskins, escaping the Y2K scare as they head into the mountains. They meet up with a crazy, mutated, inbred hillbilly family who are set on brining in new blood to the family to limit the deformities from years of inbreeding. What we get with this family, the Crawfords is grotesque looks with killer instincts and lots of humor, yes this movie has just the right hint of humor in it!

At the end of 1999, people hid in fear of what could happen at nuclear power plants, because of the Y2K programming error. Nothing really happened back then, but now director Kenneth's Cran's film, The Millenium Bug, will show what can happen if you try to avoid the Y2K. Hillbillies will attack!
This first trailer for The Millenium Bug shows the Haskin family attempting to escape "Y2K hysteria" (Millenium). Instead, they wander into some crazed hillbillies, who then stumble into some larger-than-live monsters. The result is an independent horror fan's paradise. Watch the clip below, for the film, with a release date scheduled for late 2011. Thanks goes out to Quiet Earth and the Undead Backbrain, for providing the trailer.
The synopsis for The Millenium Bug is here:
"When the Haskin family seeks refuge from Y2K hysteria in the isolated forests of the Sierra Diablos mountains, madness and terror find them there.
