That's right people!  I know some of you out there love when the special edition, re-edited, more footage added versions of your favorite movies come out on DVD.... and some of you also probably hate it as well (i.e. "Argh!  They just finding excuses to sell us the same movie twice!").

Well, with that in mind, I'm both proud and ashamed to admit that I've decided to work on a re-edited version of My Stuffed Animal is a Monster to release.  After taking another look at the movie myself and getting some constructive feedback from others, it seems to me that this classic could use a bit of the cutting room knife to some of the footage.  The thing is that instead of me adding "10 minutes of yet unseen footage" or something like that I'm actually going to trim off about 10-25 minutes of footage from the film.  It's going to be a much shorter, but tighter and more taunt version of the film... I hope.

The Executive Producer in me would love to sell this to you as some kind of "Director's Cut."  But the truth is that the original version I released in Theater and DVD in September is the definitive "Director's cut."  This version I will be re-editing will in fact be the "People thing the director's cut is too long and filled with blah scenes" cut.  That doesn't sound very marketable though... so let's just call it the "RENEGADE CUT" of My Stuffed Animal is a Monster.  Now that has a better ring to it!

Now before you get your panties in a bunch, I'd like to let you all know that I'm going to do something very un-hollywood here.... I'm not going to charge any extra for this version.  Once it's done and ready to be released, I will give a free copy of the "Renegade Cut" to anyone who bought a copy of the original "Director's Cut" of the movie.  Plus I will include both versions on future pressings of the DVD.  Woohoo!  Then you can watch both, compare and let me know which version you really liked best. 

Either way, it'll be a while before I can get this version together, but wanted to give you all a heads up.  So keep your eyes peeled to this site for news.  In the meantime, if you'd like to buy copies of the Director's Cut to help me finance the making of the Renegade Cut, that would be awesome.  Thanks to all you Sammy fans out there!

The way we look at it, nothing says "I love this f*cking film!" more than sporting merch from the film.  So it is with that reasoning that, when preparing for the world premiere of My Stuffed Animal is a Monster, we decided to bring the people what they want... SAMMY MERCH! 

Some to buy, some to take for free, but all to be able to say to the world, "Hey guy!  Guess what!  I love this f*cking film!"

Here's what we've put together so far in the way of merch for the film.

Buttons and Stickers...
Nothing says "We love our fans" more than SWAG (Stuff We All Get)!  And one thing everyone got and will get upon request is free sammy stickers and buttons (while supplies last of course).


Wear them all over your body.


Wear them right on your forehead.


Don't let the expression on my face fool you.  I've very happy to be wearing this sticker on my forehead.


SAMMY FACE!!



T-Shirts
Besides swag, there's the stuff that we try to sell with the hopes and prayers that we might actually make back the production cost of the film.  So we pimped out T-Shirts as well. 

Talk about alta moda!  You should be able to wear these shirts to any VIP only gathering and have a high end fashion designer walk right up to you and say "I would kill someone to have that shirt... maybe I'll even kill you for it."


No one has offered to kill us for the Sammy shirts off our backs yet, but we imagine it's a definite possibility.


Sammy Blue Steel!


Sammy blue is the new black.


Don't believe us?  Just look at how badass I look wearing this gear!


So if you love the film, if you love the filmmakers, if you support artists that are just trying to buy their next meal... buy some merch, wear our swag, pass on the good word.... or we'll find you!
