Friday Night 80s Party is where I post music videos, links to YouTube, relating to a theme for that particular night, plus nostalgia and trivia as well. I used to run one fairly regularly from 8-9pm EST, but a lack of a very reliable internet connection at the time, and an even more unreliable work schedule, made it difficult to keep it up. Well it's going to return on Friday December 15th with a few changes for a special edition.
#GhostsAndScaryMovies
The special theme for the coming Friday Night 80s Party will be videos, trivia and nostalgia related to ghosts and scary movies. This special edition will run from 8-10pm and will coincide with a fundraiser event to get donations for Chad Meisenheimer's short horror film Little Girl in White which is in the pre-production stages and most importantly needs to get the financing in order before they can start because people do like to be paid.
Little Girl in White is going to be the second short film of a trilogy. The first film was Nite Nite and was inspired by 80s horror movies, especially babysitter horror, and was even set in the 80s. Little Girl in White is going to be an Asian style horror film set in the 90s. As you can see each film in the trilogy is a tribute to a different decade in horror movies using a theme and style that was popular during that decade.
They need to put together $6,000 just to get rolling. Compared to a big studio Hollywood film this is not even a drop in the bucket, but for independent filmmakers, people who often work regular jobs like you and me just to pay the bills, this is a lot of money and they are most likely not going to make it back.
So how can you help?
Every dollar you give to the campaign to fund the film is one dollar closer they are to starting filming. Chad has a crowdfunding page setup on IndieGoGo where you can contribute any amount, and anything at all is helpful.

Friday December 15 8-10pm
You can write it down if you want to, but I will be tweeting about it from now until Friday the 15th. The Friday Night 80s Party will run for 2 hours from 8-10pm EST and include music videos from the 80s as well from the 70s and of course the 90s. Trivia and nostalgia, like commercials, will be tweeted as well. And in between them I will includes links to the Little Girl in White crowdfunding page.
Let's see if we can't get this off the ground for Chad and his crew.
