Killer Koalas From Another World













On April 5th 1992 we made a little horror comedy called Killer Koalas From Another World. It was filmed in Australia and was inspired by the dropbear myths. We shot it in the same location that was used for Howling III: The Marsupials (that was also filmed in Australia). We love all of the Howling movies. In our movie, a strange new shipment of koalas arrive in the outback-these koalas appear to look innocent and cute but are really vicious and bloodthirsty-these are called Dropbears. These monstrous marsupials are soon responsible for the disappearance of numerous tourists. The one tourist that didn't encounter one of the dropbears teams up with the local police department to track the dropbears down. We created some realistic animatronic dropbears for the movie- and they can be seen in our museum which has various props from our productions in it. The movie is very hard to find on vhs or dvd, it is a very rare and unique movie. It was entered in the local film contest, it won Best Short, Best Horror Film, Best Soundtrack, Best Score, and Best Special Effects. We've dabbled in the art of horror comedies before and are going to back to it in our upcoming horror comedy A Gastonian in Disneyworld, a homage to American Werewolf In London, my character is an actor who gets cast as Gaston in the production of BATB but ends up taking the role a little too seriously and turns into him. It's the first one to feature a transformation of me into a cartoon character.
