Spike (2008 film)

Spike is a 2008 horrorromance directed by Robert Beaucage, produced by String And A Can Productions, and starring Edward Gusts, Sarah Livingston Evans, AnnaMarie Wayne, Nancy P. Corbo, and Jared Edwards. The film has been described by Robert Hope as Angela Carter rewriting La Belle et la Bte as an episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

The film was produced by String And A Can Productions, with Erik Rodgers and Devin DiGonno serving as the principal producers on the project.Filming for Spike took place just off the Angeles Crest Highway, high in the mountains of the Angeles National Forest, entirely at night in the spring of 2007 in locations that burned down two years later in the Station Fire. Treacherous terrain and temperatures dropping belowF, well below freezing, made filming difficult, and delays were caused by rain, snow, and even hail. Robert Beaucage directed the film from a screenplay he was inspired to write by the stories of Cupid and Psyche, Hades and Persephone... Beauty and the Beast, as well as horror classics such as Frankenstein and The Hunchback of NotreDame. He chose to shoot on 16mm film rather than a digital format, despite the productions tight schedule and low budget, in order to give the film a different feel from the typical contemporary indie movie, the overwhelming majority of which are shot digitally. ........
