In the old days, we would say that the recent Full Moon releases Baby Oopsie and The Resonator: Miskatonic U were getting sequels, but Full Moon recently started releasing their films in “chapters”; if you go to watch Baby Oopsie through the Full Moon Direct streaming service, you’ll find that it’s in two 40 minute chapters, while The Resonator: Miskatonic U has one 40 minute chapter and one 29 minute chapter. Now Full Moon founder Charles Band has announced that William Butler – who directed both of the films in question – will soon be going into production on four more chapters of Baby Oopsie and four more chapters of The Resonator.
Speaking in a new Vidcast, Band said:
We had a really successful little premiere of Baby Oopsie in two parts. It turned out incredibly well, very different, a lot of people really liked it. You know, it comes from the Demonic Toys universe. The Resonator did super well, an H.P. Lovecraft-inspired piece. Both of these directed by Billy Butler, my friend, we go back to the ’80s. So the plan is, we’re going back to Cleveland, where we shot Baby Oopsie, and we’re actually shooting four more episodes of The Resonator and then after that four more episodes of Baby Oopsie. So by early next year you’re going to be seeing a series of six chapters of Baby Oopsie and six chapters of The Resonator.”
The Demonic Toys spin-off Baby Oopsie is described as being “an all-new, all-deranged and totally subversive sorta-sequel that’s sure to rip your senses to shreds!” Here’s the synopsis:
Perpetually picked on and endlessly neglected Sybil Pittman (Libbie Higgins, in a startling breakthrough performance) finds little joy in her life… except for her massive doll collection that has grown to perverse proportions! Every day, Sybil locks herself in her basement, broadcasting her doll restoration vlog all by herself, that is until the remnants of a mysterious doll – the dreaded “Baby Oopsie” comes into her life! After carefully restoring the doll, Sybil comes to realize that the tiny terror is exacting revenge on her oppressors, mercilessly murdering them one by one. And while Sybil finds herself enjoying Baby Oopsie’s bloody brand of vengeance, she soon changes her tune when the demonic toy turns its evil attentions to Sybil and those she actually cares about.
The Resonator: Miskatonic U has the following synopsis:
Set in the fictional college campus “Miskatonic University” in Arkham, Massachusetts where all sorts of fantastic and unworldly events have been known to unfold in Lovecraft lore, THE RESONATOR: MISKATONIC U follows six gifted students as they navigate life after one of them, Crawford Tillinghast, builds a machine known as the “Resonator”. The machine allows one to experience multiple dimensions while navigating the unsavory beasts that dwell within them. But things get complicated when Tillinghast realizes that the prototype of his creation has not only released murderous and deadly creatures into his world, but also has affected his own reality.
Although I am a longtime Full Moon fan, I have to admit that I’m behind on both of these projects. I need to catch up on these chapters, but our own The Iceman has seen and reviewed Baby Oopsie. You can read his review at THIS LINK.
