A camper's worse nightmare comes true... This short film was a labor of love that premiered on 10/24/09 at Blood Fest 6. Joe Lauria, who played the Black Rose Killer in 2 of my movies, was supposed to reprise his role in this short. Just days after speaking to him about his role, he sadly passed away. The Black Rose Killer takes his final bow in a fitting tribute to a dear friend and colleague. It's always been a dream for Joe and I to pit Rellik and the Black Rose Killer against each other. Some dreams do come true.
