	Jim O'rear FX specialist Day of the Dead Actor, stunt man, musician, director - Jim has done it all! He's appeared in such films as DAY OF THE DEAD, STAR TREK 4, BLOOD FEVER, MANIAC HOOKER, and the upcoming VAMPIRE WARS, starring Robert (Freddy Krueger) Englund, Amanda Plummer, Chris Sarandon, and Maximillion Schell!
Jim O'rear's new horror movie, THE DEEPENING, featuring Gunnar "Leatherface" Hansen (TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE), Debbie Rochon (AMERICAN NIGHTMARE), Debbie D (HAYRIDE SLAUGHTER), and directed by Ted Alderman (VAMPYRE TALES) will be premiering for [b]ONE SHOW ONLY[/b] on October 22nd (Sunday) at 11:00pm in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, at The Premiere 6. You should come check it out and meet the cast and crew. THE DEEPENING follows a troubled New York fireman (Ted Alderman) who suffers from post traumatic stress disorder after working the tragic terrorist events of 9-11. In search of a fresh start, he relocates to a small fire department in a quiet rural town where he seeks treatment from Doctor Chambers (Gunnar Hansen) for his recurring nightmares. The bad dreams, however, do not subside. Instead, they turn into a terrifying reality as the population of the town begins to sharply decrease. The movie, written by myself from a story idea by Ted Alderman and based on actual events, delivers the gritty camera style and explosive feel of the late 1970s / early 1980s slasher flicks. We're not going for art here! This is an outrageous and ugly horror story that's a fun and entertaining explosive escape opportunity for the audience!
