The August Underground Special (Fred Vogel Interview)

[@supersaiyandeathmetalgod]

I watched August Underground based on this video alone. I'm not a fan of a lot of extreme horror, aside from select movies like Inside or Frontieres. But I agreed with a lot of what you said and appreciate them as movies! And ended up getting a copy of The Final Interview afterwards. Awesome channel and awesome collection.

[@mrparka]

Thank you. Glad you could appreciate them. For extreme films I need something in them besides extremity typically.

[@christielee7011]

Just watched august underground for the first time last night. WOW LOVE IT! Fred is awesome! Thanks for this interview!

[@mrparka]

No problem. Fred is a great guy :)

[@freebee8221]

I watched it just now. And yeah it was "interesting" lack of a better word, but how can anyone love it?

[@joshwilley3173]

I recently reached out to Fred and he signed and sent me AU, AUP and Sella Turcica from his own stash then picked up a signed Mordum off ebay. Got the special Final Interview movie w all the bonus stuff in the mail the other day too. Can't wait to watch it tomorrow night

[@TheLoopofSound]

Had these on a hard drive in the army, borrowed it to a soldier who complained about them to his chain of command

[@markjonesatlarge5240]

What a snitch.

This is the best fred vogel interview I've seen yet! Thanks for this

[@BROCKBONES]

Great video bro, love both of your guys work. Can't wait to check out the final interview.

[@quietreader]

Thank you dude, awesome interview!

[@WTF_WHAT_THE_FLICK]

I like the trilogy in reverse order. I haven't watched any of them in about 10 years and are definitely due for a rewatch. Great video

[@istartedajoke1704]

I wanna meet this guy!!well both of yall haha damn yall cool..love the flicks ....especially on the ganja!!

[@slendertvdrake2137]

Great interview!!

[@219SilverChoc]

Great Interview! I got a digital copy of a Final Interview last year but still haven't got round to watching it, hope the blu-ray is still in stock if I like it!

[@mrparka]

thank you very much. let me know what you think.

[@Yaksniffer2]

Wow, can’t believe it’s been 20 years. I remember trying to find clips of “Mordum” on KZbin so long ago, fearful that I might actually find some footage and then have to watch it. Time is wild!!! Awesome video/interview

[@markjonesatlarge5240]

August Underground: Penance is my favorite of the trilogy. Fred Vogel could continously print his movies and they would always sell. He has stated over and over that he doesn't want the movies everywhere.

[@wtfhtbabyjane]

Fantastic video! Yep dont think i could majeyit through mordum again without at least a litre of jack daniels... 20 years! Shit where has the time gone ⌚😭

[@Wulfy96]

I had heard the name Fred Vogel and well I may not be into really extreme stuff like August Underground series. This interview with him made me buy The Final Interview 3 disc blu ray even though I live in the UK. He seems like nice and chill dude and I wanted to support him from even across the pond here.

[@mrparka]

Let me know what you think :)

Fred looking like Zlatan Ibrahimovic

That is exactly that i thought,, well they are both Jews

Subbed!

[@carolinelucia7455]

Love these movies!!!!! I have them all on DVD. My favorite is the first one.❤️💀

[@Uhlbsorry]

Mordum is best IMO

[@PixelatedKarl]

Great video Dave, 22 shots should be back soon right?!

[@mrparka]

Not too sure when

[@diptipman]

Cool

[@Espo2250]

Fred is a great guy and i love these movies even today, I remember asking him if he still had the original video or whatever he shot these movies on because i think they would be even more shocking seeing all the gore effects without the tape degrading look to it. The first 2 movies, obviously penance didnt have the aged look because HD was the thing at the time.

[@Uhlbsorry]

Good to see you back on KZbin.

[@Espo2250]

@@Uhlbsorry lol that whole trend of movies ended in the late 2000's.....after a serbian film that whole sub-genre died.

[@dirkwoodcock9376]

So I just watched the second one, one thing I had a question about. Is the guy with long black hair in the piercing/tattoo shop who says “the cops are here” the same guy that shows them the shed?

[@mrparka]

The guy in the shed is Killjoy. I don't remember where they first meet Killjoy in the movie, but I would say that is a safe bet, the movie is so chaotic it's hard to recall all the details.

[@dirkwoodcock9376]

@@mrparka boy you said it haha. I always like extreme horror but always avoided Fred’s movies because there was so much bad information out from randos online “oh there’s no plot, the movie is terrible and just disturbing and mean spirited for the sake of being just that. But after listening to Fred in interviews I have really developed an appreciation for Fred Vogel as a person and his work. They might not be movies I want to rewatch all the time, but his story in how he, like so many other filmmakers starting out, just wanted to make stuff, and he did the best with what he had and the result was incredibly effective in what it’s purpose was. And now he’s still making movies and doing it!!! I always wanted to work in cinema and Fred Vogel is just one of those Kevin smith types that just show you that if you want to do it, screw what anyone else says, just go out and make stuff. Love it. I wish I could reach out to Fred easier to explain this but I basically have no social media... because I hate it...

[@mrparka]

@@dirkwoodcock9376 social media is a mofo, but i have it for the show. Fred is a great guy, if you see him at a convention tell him how ya feel im sure he'd like hearing it. Not all his movies are for everyone, but not all his movies are the same. He has a lot of passion and I think that shows in his films and how he interacts with other film fans.

[@berniebrains3740]

Where can I buy the films? I've known about them forever and passed on the blu ray collection a few years back cuz I'm not very into the extreme stuff but it kind of intrigues me now. I got Redsin when it first came out and loved it.

[@mrparka]

They aren't out right now, but Toe Tag puts them out time to time, hopefully not they will be out sooner than later.

[@joshwilley3173]

Ebay man but they're expensive and rare

[@markjonesatlarge5240]

Yes.

[@adamwatson2914]

I don’t like those movies not because they disturb me they’re just so cheap and amateurish, embarrassing to watch, for the most part they’re not even good at being disturbing, you know being as loud and grimy as possible doesn’t always cut, I’ve been much more distressed by some of the movies that have featured you sir lol

[@mrparka]

I would disagree, but these arent for everyone. When these things hit at the time of their release there hadnt been anything quite like them.

[@adamwatson2914]

Bit too hardcore Indy for me

[@mrparka]

@@adamwatson2914 might want to check out the final interview or redsin tower his other films are different.

[@adamwatson2914]

I would freaking well hope so ☺️

[@BROCKBONES]

I disagree that theyre amateurish personally, I mean theyre not top quality cinema by any means. That said, he really is one of the only modern filmmakers besides Von trier that can pull off the cinema veratay style. (I know its spelled wrong lol) especially the first film the rough gritty style of filming mixed with the mundane bullshit that early 20s kids would film back when cameras were readily available is what makes it so real. I do agree that he doesnt pull it off in the third film because the cuts were very obvious and for a few other reasons, but I think that no one will ever be able to do what Fred did ever again. He really delved into the life of an irresponsible ignorant young killer. Yeah it seemed amateurish, and childish in some ways, but I think Thats what made these characters so accurate and real.

[@freebee8221]

Im pretty sure that the chick cutting her arm was at least real? How do you even fake that?

[@mrparka]

I believe a lot of that is real

[@freebee8221]

@@mrparka in one interview fred says its real and another one he says its fake. The cutting scene I mean
