BEVERLY HILLS—On Tuesday, March 10, film buffs, critics and fans gathered at the Fine Arts Theater in Beverly Hills to watch the new Independent feature film “The Boneyard Collection,” a film directed and produced by Edward Plumb and starring “B&B” handsome actor Ronn Moss.

Catching up after the film with Edward Plumb, he told Canyon News, “The Boneyard Collection is a black comedy anthology that pokes fun at the entertainment industry. In the first segment, called 'Her Morbid Desires,' a young model comes to Hollywood to star in a horror movie only to discover that starlets are being murdered on the film sets. This segment in the film is where Ronn Moss plays Count Dracula and is only seen in character and never off screen, as most of it is a movie within a movie. Golden Globe winner Tippi Hedren is a good witch, European horror legend Barbara Steele is a romance novelist, Oscar nominee/Golden Globe winner Kevin McCarthy is a monk, and Oscar nominee Robert Loggia and William Smith are film directors. This segment also has cameo appearances by poet/songwriter Rod McKuen, Cassandra Peterson as Elvira and special effects legend Ray Harryhausen.”
The film moves smoothly and swiftly, but it’s impossible to forget the legends you are watching on screen. The second segment is a phony movie trailer in which an all girl rock band is booked into a town filled with zombies. But Plumb smiles and then adds, “The third segment (not mine), 'Cry of the Mummy,' is about an angry, unhappy mummy, who is tired of being in front of the camera and like everyone else in Hollywood, he wants to direct. And, the last segment is another phony movie trailer called 'The Devils Die at Midnight,' whereby a coven of witches hold a party in a graveyard hoping to bring up the devil, and when he does arrive he gets mad because none of them are virgins.”
"The Devils Die at Midnight" has Oscar nominee/Golden Globe winner Brad Dourif as the Devil, Oscar winner George Kennedy as the world leading authority on witchcraft, Oscar-nominee Susan Tyrrell as a high priestess, and Ken Foree as an inept witch hunter. “Cry of the Mummy” has Oscar nominee Candy Clark as a ruthless literary agent, improv host Budd Friedman as an MC, and Rachel Melvin from "Days Of Our Lives" as an agent for a young scriptwriter. “Boogie with the Undead” has Bobby Boris Pickett, who wrote and sang Monster Mash, as a greedy, nonchalant manager for the rock band, while Danielle James (star of the HBO series “True Blood”) plays one of the ghosts that introduces the stories in the graveyard.
Fun was had by all at the theater, while producer/director Plumb was looking forward to the world premiere of his film. Such a film hasn’t been made with so many stars since the 1970s when producers put a menagerie of stars together to make the critically acclaimed “The Towering Inferno.”
Ronn Moss is the heart and soul of this film, as he remains the heart and soul of the CBS hit daytime serial “The Bold and the Beautiful.” This role is one in which Moss was able to break away from his regular persona and the more fun side of Moss poured out of his performance. “Boneyard” gets two thumbs up for creativity, bringing in the big stars to play small and cameo roles and for originality. Edward Plumb is an Indie film producer who will become a household name.
