[adrotate banner=”1″]A new horror comedy with Robert Englund has wrapped production and is now in post. Englund seems to be showing up in several cult films recently that will outlive their DVD releases, and hopefully The Mole Man of Belmont Avenue is no exception.

The plot:

The story follows two brothers (Bradecich and LaFlamboy) who have recently inherited a brownstone apartment building from their mother. After two years of running the building into the ground, the brothers must now contend with a monster living in the basement that is threatening the lives of the tenants and their pets.

Mole Man wraps in Chicago

It’s not every day you hear about a film being made by co- writers, co- producers, and co- directors who are also co- starring in over sixty percent of their own film, a monster movie comedy titled The Mole Man of Belmont Avenue, which finished production late in July. But then again John Laflamboy and Mike Bradecich are not your everyday filmmakers, they’ve been making short films and music videos together for years and come from very rich theater and improv backgrounds, which anyone will tell you are founded in trust and creative collaboration.

The Mole Man of Belmont Avenue is quite possibly the first feature length narrative film of late to draw so extensively from Chicago’s rich pool of improv comedy actors and in fact both directors freely admit that nearly all of the roles were written specifically for each actor. With the help of local casting agency TP&R, the all star line up includes Susan Messing, Dina Facklis, Greg Hollimon, Brad Morris, Dan Jessup, and an improvised scene between TJ Jagodowski and Dave Pasquesi, sure to be cutting edge hilarity.

The Mole Man of Belmont Avenue also brought Robert Englund to Chicago, ironically during the production of the latest Nightmare on Elmstreet to play a role in the film. Englund thanked the entire cast and crew for the experience and praised the screenplay while predicting the film was sure to become a cult classic. John Laflamboy and Mike Bradecich expressed how excited they were to combine the best forces of talent for comedy and horror nerds alike.

I would like to add that it IS probably every day I hear about such a film, thus is the life of low budget cinema.
