Bob’s Grave Site
April 1- 2009:
We have discovered something very interesting online recently. A web site called http://www.findagrave.com. Apparently Bob Berdella is buried in the same grave as his parents, but his name is not written on the tombstone according to Find a Grave.

Authentic T-Shirt
March 25- 2009:
Today we have something special, an authentic-original Bob’s Bazaar Bizarre t-shirt from the 1980s. We came into possession of the t-shirt and business card recently and it has become sort of a good luck charm for the promotion of the movie. Oddly enough the person we got the items from said it was cursed and he and the owner before him got bad luck from it…not us though!

Bob’s Bazaar Bizarre Business Card
March 18- 2009:
Last week we crossed paths with someone who had official Bazaar Bizarre merchandise. This person had no clue that we were making a movie about Bob Berdella but was eager to sell us his treasure. It was an original Bob’s Bazaar Bizarre t-shirt from the 1980s, with official Berdella business card enclosed. We were finally able to shoot our business card stock, so that was nice. We’ll add the t-shirt with next weeks update. For now enjoy this trip down memory lane.

We’re still editing the movie, working on sound effects, voice over work, and adding a few new scenes. Were on a deadline trying to get the movie done by late May so we can enter it into the Kansas International Film Festival, among others.
Our MySpace page has recently been re-designed.

One of our web site visitors sent us this amazing photograph. Bob Berdella’s high school photo!
If anyone has his business card we’d love to get a copy of it, and possibly use it in the movie!

Happy Birthday Bob Berdella
January 31- 2009:
Happy birthday Bob Berdella
Today, if Bob were still alive it would be his 60th birthday.
Editing the movie is coming along very well. We have our score by Topp Boom courtesy of Symbol Heavy Recordings. Most of the video is edited together, were currently adding sound tracks and dubbing. The long tedious process continues but we hope to have the film completed in the next few months. Our plan of attack is film festivals starting this summer, we intend on submitting it to numerous ones here in the states and abroad. Our premiere will be around late August early September, about a year from when filming completed. More information on the movie and where it will be playing will be made available over the next couple of months.
