Do you like robot and machine stories set in a time and place where the technological advances have not been made to support the stories in which they appear? Are you into Steampunk? The Mechanical Grave as produced and directed by John Keeyes might just tickle your fancy. Looks like you’ve got a winning formula here. Some pretty darn good effects for an indy production, wild west hotties with ALL OF THEIR TEETH and Clockwork robots (is this a nod to the Clockwork Wizards from the Abominable Dr. Phibes…  Clockwork Wizards Perform

Let’s keep your robotic eyes peeled for this potential show/mini-series. Maybe it’s the next Dr. Who…

The year is 1895. Steam-powered ships fly through the air. Clockwork robots have replaced servants. And a grisly murder has taken place in the dark night of New York City. Called to the scene of the ritualistic murder, newly appointed police commissioner Teddy Roosevelt discovers Detective Wayne and his police officers power usurped by two special investigators appointed by the White House: Occultist Edgar Allan Poe, a clockwork automaton housing the soul of the literary legend, and Mrs. Emma Entwistle, a dangerous assassin with a unique connection to the otherworld. When they elicit information from the demon Neshrew, a much darker and more dangerous plot of world domination is uncovered.

Welcome to the world of THE MECHANICAL GRAVE. Steeped in the popular steampunk genre, the story paints an alternative history of the Victorian Era world. Founded in the science fiction of steampunk grandfathers Jules Verne and H.G. Wells and the horror of Edgar Allan Poe, THE MECHANICAL GRAVE is an exciting adventure filled with robots, assassins, steam and clockwork powered inventions, magicians, demons, supernatural beings, and a life in which magic is very real, although taboo. Debuting this Fall, the producers are currently working

THE MECHANICAL GRAVE into an episodic show for television.

Dr. Jimmy Terror, more commonly known as James P. Harris, has been “writing your eyes” shut since 2010 with his horror themed blog Dr. Terror’s Blog of Horrors (whose name is a play on words derived from the Amicus film, Dr. Terror’s House of Horrors). In the early 2000’s he fronted the band The Vaudeville Vampires, a short-lived Horrorabilly band which saw the creation of a catalog of horror related songs before disbanding (with only one, six song demo ever being produced and distributed). He has had only one on screen appearance to date in the horror/suspense short, Ocean Parkway, as maniacal, gloved killer with a hair fetish. Having done some un-credited, behind the scenes work in some low budget genre pictures, he is currently working on his first foray into screenwriting with a demonic, retro gore entry that pays homage to Lucio Fulci, Dario Argento as well as other Italian masters of the genre.
