melonheads@laugh-at-the-law.com
Melissa Vogrin: Melissa made her acting debut in Aquaruis Rising: Dark Ritual Series Vol.1. Although she had a small part, she established herself as the North Coast's TRUE scream queen. With vocals so loud you have to keep the mic away from her, she will go on to be a big sensation!
Kristin Smith: Kristin comes to Cretinville straight off the set of Hostile Denial! From playing a divorced house wife of an alcoholic, child killing cop - to becoming a college cheerleader, Kristin will demonstrate how versitile of an actress she is.
Tree: Tree just showed up one night to possibly squeeze into the movie as an extra. Everyone liked her so much, she is now a major character.
Amanda Jorgensen: Amanda is a model, but she decided to branch out into the movie world. Amanda's melonhead knowledge and expirience will bring a sense of realism to the production. *Side note: Amanda made mention she wanted some blood to be on her....Careful what you wish for!
Randi Lynn: Randi will be playing Sharon. She has only been with the production a short while, but she has developed a sense of how things work and gives good suggestions and keeps up with continuity. She is a welcome addition to the cast.
Christina Rios: From the moment Christina walked into the audition, we knew we wanted her in the cast! Another newbie to film, Christina will be playing the part of Abbey. With both Beauty and Intelligence, Christina is an excellent fit to the cast. (only female left that was cast from the original casting call)
Jocelyn Marie Thompson : Another model & Official ShockStar Girl, so no virgin to being infront of the camera; Jocelyn will be playing a role that will push her acting talent to the edge. Good things are planned for her in this role.
Melissa Lippert: Will be playing Tiffany.
Bryan Jalovec: With roles in such films as Hero Tomorrow, Fanboy, Horror Convention Massacre and Guys, Bryan has become a local cult actor. Bryan came in to read for a small extras role, we were so blown away by the shear talent and character he brought -we had him read for a larger part. Bryan will be playing the part of Steve-he nailed the essence of this character with NO prep time. It was almost like the part was written just for him! Bryan brings his charm and style to Cretinville which should add some flair to the cast, in a way only Bryan could.
Rachel will be playing the Cheer Coach!!
Rich Yarber: Rich is president of TwistedSpine Films & director of the soon to be released Murder Machine! Rich asked for a small role, something maybe a little demented. Well, Rich was really the only one we thought of to play Dr. Crowe! You wanted demented Rich-you got it! Rich has the demented part down, hell he is on the Marc Norton Show, you have to be demented. Also, watch for Rich's Baron von Bloodstone character coming out on a short from eMpTy FILMS.
Holly Pasquarelli
Cyndi Kehler-Mrs. Crowe
Dawn Willette - ??? (a surprise)
Dusty Sidewalls: Actor, Musician, Comedic Genius-enough said!
'The' Mike Trivisonno: Mike has a cameo in the movie. Again he is the man to go to in a clutch!
Kenny Fadeley
Doug Johnson-Football Coach
Chris Smith-Mother
Jose Pagan: (pic coming soon)
Curse of the Melonheads!!!!
Curse of the Melonheads is the behind the scenes making of the movie, detailing all the setbacks, injuries and problems which happened during production of the movie. The filmmakers are truly convinced this production has a curse on it, you will be able to decide for yourself!
Cyndi Kehler-First victim of the curse. Cyndi was to be the original assistant director, then illness took her to the hospital and off the production team. (She is better now).
Holly Pasquarelli: The next in a line of cast & crew to feel the curse. Holly is the second assistant director to be on this project. She is currently the Assistant Director/Production Manager, but she too fell victim. ( We are saving this and the other stories for the DVD special features-you would not believe this one).
mAlice in Wunderland: First cast member to be physically taken out of commision by curse. In a true story of life literally imitating art.
Laura Manas : Second cast member Disabled by Curse! This one came out of nowhere! (The Director, Producers & cast wish Laura a full recovery)
Rachel Core: Disappeared! Have not been seen in over a month!
Joni Gomez: Hospitalized! Can not mention why! (Joni was to play Shelia)
Jose Pagan: As of right now has not had any personal effects of the curse, but the production was effected! Was sequestered for jury duty the day of his shoot.
Again the Soundtrack is going to be KICK ASS! Here are just some of the bands so far!

Written and Directed by Brian C Lawlor, this is the second feature in a series titled: the Dark Ritual Series.
"Where our first feature 'Aquarius Rising', was "Based on Possible Events"; and is an 'occult-thriller'; Cretinville will be a total horror movie playing on the area's stories of the legend.
What did most high school kids do in Lake county??? Go out to melonhead country for a good scare. Well, we want to show everyone what they were hoping to get a glimpse at; we will not be pulling any punches. We want this to be a movie that needs a warning about weak hearts and stomachs."
Casting for this movie will be in early April. Shooting should start as soon as the weather gets warm. Principle shooting will be done in Lake County, OH and the cast will consist of mainly local talent. You can find out more as this production develops at www.laugh-at-the-law.com
