I'm still in the process of putting things together, so not all available videos are on their pages yet.

Old site description:

My classic about a thief on the run who is stalked by a mysterious gang of thugs who dress up like monsters. This is the movie that got my friends to act for me again, for the first time in two years and is the one and only accomplishment of mine which truly got me started on my new path of movie making! This movie…This day was the turning point of my life! This is the film that made me realize that I was destined to become a director and since then, I have been making movies non-stop.

Description from Cinemassacre.com:

This is the first movie I made that got me started on my path of filmmaking. Before this, most of my movies used puppets and action figures, because none of my friends were interested in acting. Finding actors was always a problem. This changed that slightly. With A Night of Total Terror, I started making the movie by myself (setting up the camera on my own, acting in front of it, changing costumes, playing all the different monsters myself). Then I showed my friends and it helped demonstrate how cool it is to make movies. So they joined in. That’s how it all started for me. This is really the birth of Cinemassacre right here.

This is the 10th Anniversary edition, 2006, which is heavily edited from the original 30 minute crap-fest. It was really a learning experience for me, not meant to be looked at for quality. This version combines footage from the original with the sequel, An Evening of Real Supernatural Horror (1996) and the unfinished remake “Spread of Malevolence” (1997).

You can see a really cool edit of “Spread of Malevolence” by Conrad Faraj.

A second remake came with “A NEW Night of Total Terror” (1999), shot on 16mm for a class assignment. It was more like an experiment.

The story was again recycled in “Curse of the Cat Lover’s Grave” (2003).

YouTube description:

This is a horror movie I made in May 1996. It originally ran 30 minutes long, but this is a shortened version I made in 2006 to better suit the internet and the majority of attention spans. I was not feeling confident in the original film, but looking back, I no longer like this edit. It was not true to the original story, and discarded the twist ending. It also combines footage from the sequel “An Evening of Real Supernatural Horror” and “Malevolence”.

James's old ratings:

Back in 2003 James included star ratings with each film he listed on his filmography on his website (the text under the star rating was his description of what the star rating meant). Later on he switched to ratings out of ten.

Eventually, he dropped the ratings entirely.
