CHECK OUT OUR MERCH: https://www.redbubble.com/people/blin... When a shipment of medical supplies is stolen, newly appointed District Attorney Jean Starr pressures her dear friend, mild mannered pharmacist, Bob Benton, to summon the Black Terror for help; but things quickly take a dangerous turn when Jean is kidnapped by the very thieves she set out to find. Now it's up to Bob's alter ego, the Black Terror, to come to her rescue. A WORD FROM CHRIS So for those of you who came here expecting a full length homage to the old Republic serials of yesteryear, only to be shocked by the sudden narrative change, I apologize. However, that most definitely was my intention from the get-go, so I'm glad it worked. Believe it or not, this was actually my second try at the Black Terror. As much as I love and appreciate all the public domain comic heroes, I cannot ignore how goofy and outdated so many of them are. The Black Terror in particular has a very silly name for a guy who acts like a Superman clone in the comics. He even had a tweenage sidekick. It was truly cringe-worthy. So naturally in my first attempt, I wanted to tell a very gritty, brooding story that more or less painted him as a man on the edge of sanity, with a drug problem, given it's his actual source of power. At first glance, sure, that sounds cool, but when it came time to actually write something that was cost effective, my script felt more like a Punisher rip off, which is bad. Typically, I would just rummage through the source material, looking for anything that might assist in my adaptation, but unfortunately, there really wasn't anything to work with. See, back then, writers didn't put a ton of effort into developing complex characters. Comic books were pretty much simple stories of good guys fighting bad guys, and that was it. Any complexity given to the Black Terror in my script would only come from me, and if it's all coming from me, then there is nothing special about the character. So I shelved the project. For about a year, I let the Black Terror marinate in the back of my mind as I worked on other stuff, and then one day, it hit me. The Black Terror was a product of his time; the American excellence era of the 1940's & 50s, but what is that to a person in the 21st century? It's nostalgia! So I began thinking to myself: if we view that era of American excellence through a nostalgia filter, what would happen if that filter was suddenly shattered? And that's where my idea for this story began to take shape. I've read plenty of posts and seen many videos where people learn about the real history of things we thought we once knew and how it reframes their perspectives. So many people hearken to live the past, yet fail to comprehend how terrible that past would actually be to them, either politically or socially. With the Black Terror, I wanted that nostalgic swashbuckling adventure vibe of the old Republic Serials to be destroyed halfway through the story, and our hero, dressed in his flamboyant costume, to be left with nothing but the harsh reality of consequence. In many ways, the Black Terror is the perfect vessel for this story arc since he actually needs to take mind and body altering drugs in order to be a superhero. So it's not too far fetched that his mind is just perceiving everything like a thrilling movie serial. Filming-wise, it was a real struggle stripping away all of my cinematic style and film as bluntly as they used to back in the day. Everything was a wide or medium tripod shot, with very uninspired lighting. However, once I got past the nostalgia filtered scenes, I got to play a little more with my angles and lighting, which was very satisfying. Once the filter was off, I wanted to get as gritty and dark as I could with what little scenes I had left. The Black Terror goes from being a Superman stand in to a wild eyed sweaty monster foaming at the teeth, which pretty much mirrors his comic history after he crossed into the public domain. If you've ever seen him pop up in any comics from the last 20 years, he's always been portrayed as a much darker and edgier character. So it didn't feel too awkward suddenly switching to that within the narrative.
