Ghost Walk

THE DAWSON WAR Crowdfunding Campaign is launched!

2013-04-24T07:04:00.001-07:00

A home invasion! A terrifying murder! The scream of a child! And the lives of a family forever changed by the intrusion of a murderer; a man who should not be alive, and will stop at nothing to achieve the ultimate goal of power over all!

The Dawson War, the prequel and sequel to the award-winning "The Farm" film! The supernatural thriller, written by uber-talented screenwriter Rocky Karlage, is the third film produced by Ghost Walk alumni, and the first under the helm of Ghost Walk Studios. For the past 5 years Ghost Walk has been championing independent film and filmmakers and now with crowdfunding we believe indie film is ready to take the leap into major Feature Film Production to rival Hollywood. We have brought together a highly-experienced film crew and award-winning actors to create an exciting action thriller set in northern Ohio; the mystical home of the Lane-Dawson family.

Film shoots begin May 11 and continue through September to film the multiple locations and dramatic sequences.

Ghost Walk News about The Dawson War

2013-04-09T07:02:00.001-07:00

Back to the movie work now. We're filming a major movie with one of Hollywood's best SFx artists, Alan Tuskes, and a wonderful cast, some who are very close to working in Hollywood films themselves!

The finished "work of art" will probably be over 2 hours long; which means months of prep work we've already been doing, the filming, and post production. It's going to be epic!

Great talent in The Dawson War! Parrish Randall and Alan Tuskes

2013-03-06T16:33:00.002-08:00

If you haven't been keeping up with "The Dawson War" (like we haven't been keeping up with our blog), we have added some wonderful, talented people to both cast and crew! Name us thrilled!

Just two of the outstanding names are listed below. Check our IMDb page frequently as the film project gets closer to filming this Spring! http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2466712/combined

Parrish Randall, a well known, Texas actor, has joined the cast to play two of the family roles: the father Jason Dawson and his not so good son, James! Parrish is an exceptional actor who is well known for his terrifying and sometimes evil character portrayals in such films as Jacob, Possum Walk, House Call, and many more! www.imdb.com/name/nm2090349/

Alan Tuskes, who should not need to be introduced, but special effects people aren't always household names like the filmmakers. Big Al is a SFX master who has joined our crew as Special Effects Supervisor. You may have seen his work in From Dusk to Dawn, Bubba Ho-Tep, Star Trek: First Contact, The Cell, Kill Bill, Vanilla Sky, Deadly Impact, and so many more great films! http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0878252/

STAY TUNED! Ghost Walk: THE DAWSON WAR is going to be major! Plus the website is launching soon!

Wow, so many changes coming for Ghost Walk! It is EXCITING!

It's true we'll have to let some aspects of Ghost Walk go. It's sad but just how it has to be. In order for us to make the best of this year, we'll be focusing our energy on the story line, our magazine, our radio shows and of course with the upcoming release of our film The Farm on DVD we'll be involved in several film festivals.

For our first issue of Haunted Path zine in 2012, we're putting together a retro issue...we're looking back on 2011. We're happy to have the opportunity to share with all of you, in one issue, the contributors and artists we feel represent the "best of the best." It's a commemorative issue we're sure you'll treasure. It's also a good exercise in reflection for us as we move forward with our company. It's a win-win for all of us!

We're looking forward to getting to know more of our fans. We continually ask everyone to write to us and we hope that you do. It can be for any reason - to just say hello, to give us your ideas and your feedback, or even to complain if you want! Even complaints help us! If we don't know from you what you feel we're doing wrong how can we fix it? And if we don't know from you what we're doing right how can we make it even better? So write us and we'll write you back! We'll be going that extra mile to get to know you better and we hope you get to know us better, too. Not just as a company but each of us individually. We often present ourselves as "Ghost Walk the Company" but we're people, just like you, all with fun personalities and hobbies and lives of our own. We're individuals who, behind the scenes, have families and go through the same life situations as all of you and so our aim this year is to make a more personal connection with our fans and maintain those relationships for years to come.

Naturally we want to make money at what we do. That can be said of any business, but more important than that, is your friendship. We value that and it is what keeps us going. When we have bad days where we want to throw our hands up and wave the white flag, and we do have them, we hang on to the fact that we've got friends and fans out there who are counting on us and it is often that fact alone that keeps us fighting to make success happen. So just know we love you all!

Blessings from all of us to all of you!

New Year, New Beginnings...

2012-01-04T20:27:00.000-08:00

As Ghost Walk Productions enters 2012, like most of you, we are taking time to step back and reflect on 2011. We feel it is time to really recharge our efforts and make some much needed changes within our structure. We're evaluating our work, deciding what changes to make - what goes, what stays, and where we should focus our efforts.

We've had little success with raising funds. This is our biggest concern as we know we can't keep going forever without finances. We work tirelessly on little more than talent and skill and quite honestly, it's draining us. We realize, as a company, we must make money in order to fully succeed and so it is in this area we'll concentrate the most the first few months of this year.

Along with a focus on finance, comes our need to make our fans and friends happy. We reach out often, seeking input from everyone, but get little in return. So we'll explore new ways to get all of you involved in what we do. When we say we want to hear from you, we mean it. Even though we're growing a bit weary, we are still having fun, and we want all of you to be a part of it! We want to continue telling our stories, making films, having our radio shows and we honestly want all of you to be a part of our journey.

So maybe, if you can find the time, comment on our blogs, find us on Facebook and say hello. We'd really like that.

Happy New Year!

Happy Holidays from Ghost Walk!

2011-12-25T06:00:00.000-08:00

It’s that time of year again – a time to reflect on the year behind us and plan for the year ahead. Most of us spend the holidays with our loved ones, sharing special moments of laughter, enjoying amazing feasts, and creating new memories we’ll have for a lifetime. Some of us may even sit around the table making those ever elusive New Year’s resolutions…with good intentions of following through with everyone, of course!

The staff of Ghost Walk does the same. We reflect on our accomplishments of the past year, we pick apart our failures (and sadly, we do have them) so we can avoid making the same mistakes in the future, and we plan for the New Year. Our plans for future projects are somewhat like New Year’s resolutions. We agree to forge ahead, avoiding pitfalls we’ve encountered in the past, and promising to make the next year even better than the last. And we do make it better every single year! We are blessed. While we’ve not had the finances we wish we had, we still manage to keep on keepin’ on and the fact that we’ve been able to do this with the little resources we have means we can’t dwell on our losses but can only feel truly blessed for all we’ve gained. Mostly, we’re blessed to have such wonderful friends and fans. The encouragement from all of you is constant, unending, and appreciated more than you know.

What does Ghost Walk have in store for the upcoming year? We’re going to amp it up a bit. Lilly’s story will finally be written (maybe even published?), we’re going to get more involved with charity work, there’ll be fun contests with amazing prizes, we hope to get into print publications, we’ll be releasing the full-version DVD of our latest movie The Farm, we hope to add new and exciting merchandise to our Mercantile, and our ultimate goal is just to reach out to more people than ever before. We’ve got this amazing story to tell and it WILL be told!

What are your plans for 2012? We’d love to hear from you…what are your dreams? Your goals? What is something you did not do this year that you want to do in the next year? Write us!

Whatever your plans, know that the staff of Ghost Walk wish you all the best! We wish for you a holiday season and New Year filled with peace, love and happiness!

Hurry...offer ends 12-31-11!

Lilly...

2011-12-21T10:42:00.000-08:00

Most of you who've followed Ghost Walk for awhile know about Lilly, our little girl ghost.

For those who are new and have not yet heard of her, she's amazing! She's been with Rocky Karlage, our President/Founder for most of his life and began appearning to him when he was about 19 years old. She's chosen to reach out to a few of us that she's learned she can truly trust.

She is the reason we do what we do. She is the reason we keep pushing ourselves. She is the reason we exist at all.

You can follow her on MySpace and/or Facebook but know that we are fiercely protective of her!

Get to know her. Listen to the music she chooses for her playlist, watch the videos she posts because they always have a message, read our notes, look at her photos...she has a powerful message she wants to share with all of you.

Most of all, be her friend. She does love to be loved and it brings her joy to give love! She has an abundance to share!

We love and cherish you Sweet Angel...forever.
