Fanedit Name: In the Mouth of Event Horizon
Faneditor Name: RollWave
Tagline: Reality isn't what it used to be...
Original Movie Title: In the Mouth of Madness
Genre: Horror
Fanedit Type: Fanmix
Original Release Date: 1994
Original Running Time: 95 minutes
Fanedit Release Date: December 2014
Fanedit Running Time: 94 minutes
Brief Synopsis:
In this fanedit, Sutter Cane's latest novel is "In the Mouth of Event Horizon". Many of the delusions and horror elements experienced and observed by the main characters in "In the Mouth of Madness" are replaced by similar scenes and images from the movie "Event Horizon".
Intention:
Besides starring the same leading actor, In the Mouth of Madness and Event Horizon have many similar elements (escape through tunnel, monsters attacking, etc). My intention was to show that the main storyline of In the Mouth of Madness could be maintained (and even enhanced) through insertion of a large number of Event Horizon Easter Eggs.
Cuts and Additions:
There are 2 primary types of edit made to produce this fanmix.
1. A shift between the movies. Generally, anytime Trent falls asleep, has a delusion, or is otherwise mentally overwhelmed, he transitions from one movie into the other for a brief period of time.
2. Many individual horror elements are replaced using a variety of special effects techniques in order to have the Event Horizon world invade the world of In the Mouth of Madness.
Opening Credits:
-Inserted new on-screen text
-Inserted Event Horizon core clips
-Cut closeups of âComing Soon: In the Mouth of Madnessâ on book jacket
Asylum:
-Edited âyou havenât read it yetâ montage to include EH frames
-Inserted a trimmed version of Sam Neill exiting the stasis tank on EH
Diner:
-Cut a scene before this scene with Neill investigating another unrelated case
Neillâs home:
-Cut newscaster referencing âIn the Mouth of Madnessâ
-Cut unnecessary tv background talk at end of scene
Publisherâs Office:
-Cut some closeups of the coffee cup that are too easily readible.
Alley:
-Shortened scene to remove the cop beating the bum, which is no longer needed due to edits to next scene.
Reading:
-Replaced dream sequences with EH clips
-Removed the double wake up jump scare
-Inserted/Edited the falling asleep and waking up audio cues
Stiles Driving
-This scene was previously very long with ~6 different weird or scary things happening which was far more than needed. The number and length were cut in half to move the story along faster.
-Replaced the cyclist with the EH spaceship in windshield, side window, and rear view mirror
-Removed the crash since itâs too early for Trent to start seeing weird things, better if itâs only Stiles for awhile.
-Edited bridge montage to include the EH engine room tunnel
Check-in
-Replaced painting using masks, motion tracking, and various color/effects to make it look like a painting and not just screenshots.
Church
-Rotoscoped EHâs Justin (who was captured in the opening credits) in place of little Johnny (the dadâs look of confusion is admittedly justifiable, itâs a pretty weird sight.)
Inn
-More artwork special effects, painting moved off the wall.
Kids
-I did nothing to this scene because âtoday is mommyâs dayâ is the corniest, most stereotypical horror line in the whole movie...so it had to stay.
Trent reading in bed:
-trimmed scene to remove legible ItMoM text.
-edit Linda in church to remove an out of place sound effect from source material.
The book:
-Edited first page text to show correct title, motion tracked for camera motion.
-Edited montage to instead show the fate of the Event Horizonâs original crew
-Removed rescue crew footage and dialogue from the EH clips
Lobby:
-More artwork special effects
Inn Basement:
-replaced the old lady as a monster in the basement with the surgical room of Event Horizon, and associated gore.
Bar:
-Mixed in footage of Trent using EH as an escape from unbearable parts of this reality.
Car ride out of town:
-Inserted to EH clips of Neillâs internal monologue, being trapped. Glow matching between the 2 films..
Confession:
-Edited the montage to insert scenes of his dead wife from EH, foreshadowing her importance, and suggesting heâs ânot seeingâ or blocking something out of his memory.
-Shortly after âAll doneâ, removed Sutter Cane saying ItMoM.
Tunnel:
-Interspersed the escape through the tunnel with the EH tunnel escape
Motel:
-Edited book title, tracked with camera bouncing
Bus:
-replaced blue bus false wakeup with the EH maintenance tunnels, which were retinted from green to blue
-This EH clip is made much scarier by using some ItMoM background surround sound instead of the EH music.
Alley:
-replaced the background poster, rotoscope/motion tracking
Publisherâs Office:
-Cropped frames where ItMoM was easily readable
Bookstore Mob:
-Cropped frames where ItMoM was easily readable
-Cut audio of announcers mentioning ItMoM.
Asylum:
-Inserted the source of Trentâs torment, his wifeâs suicide from EH, which he finally remembers/unblocks.
-Right when he thinkâs heâs gonna be ok, combined and inserted Neillâs EH declaration of going to hell
-Note - Left a clear image of Laurence Fishburne that is out of place and potentially confusing for a viewer, whoâs this guy, whyâs he there. This is purely an easter egg. Heâs a co-star and deserved to be in this movie somewhere, even though his character was cut.
Outside Theater:
-trimmed the beginning of this scene to avoid showing the huge curved marquee which had a very difficult to remove ItMoM sign.
-Inserted 3 different posters and banners using motion tracking, masks, and rotoscoping. In the Mouth of Event Horizon blu-ray cover is used as basis for a poster, the Fanedit.org banner is used as a marquee banner, and my previous edit The West Wing: The 25th Amendment also has its poster in the background.
Inside Theater:
-Edited montage to include EH clips
-Changed final seconds to end the movie in EH instead of ItMoM.
Closing Credits:
-Inserted âFanedited by RollWaveâ scrolling credit
