Casting Call - Demon Squad: Tooth & Claw
Now casting for Demon Squad 2!
Fighting Owl Films is now casting for its new independent feature film Demon Squad: Tooth & Claw. A sequel to 2019’s Demon Squad, the film sees the return of paranormal investigators Nick Moon and Daisy O’Reilly as they embark on a new supernatural adventure. The first film was recently featured on season 13 of Mystery Science Theater 3000.
Fighting Owl Films is seeking Gulf Coast talent to fill several lead and supporting roles. Positions are paid. The project is expected to film in Mobile, Alabama, in spring 2024. Character breakdowns are below. Interested parties should email a headshot and resume to fightingowlfilms@gmail.com.
Hank Treme
50s - 60s
Friend and mentor to Nick Moon. He’s a know-it-all inventor and paranormal expert with a gruff exterior, but a real soft spot for Moon. Eclectic Southern gentleman.
Detective Bert Fortier
30s - 40s
The somewhat clueless but very game liaison between city officials and Nick and Daisy. He’s always treading water to keep up with the otherworldly incidents he gets pulled into. Nick’s best friend and Daisy’s boyfriend.
Chari Divine
30s - 40s
A fraudulent psychic who’s heart is in the right place – she may not have mystical talents, but she wants to help people. Feisty, flirty and argumentative, Chari can go toe-to-toe with anyone, whether it’s a game of wits or fisticuffs. Larger than life, but it’s all an act. New Jersey accent a plus.
Lon
20s
A want-to-be creature of the night who’s just a hapless idiot. Comedic role.
Dogman
A hulking wolf-man creature terrorizing the city. This role requires the performer to wear a full-body creature suit and mask. Physical performance is important.
Adrienne
30s - 50s
A quiet and unassuming local woman with a secret. She’s no nonsense.
Carly
30s - 50s
Protective partner of Adrienne, and guardian of her secret. Imposing demeanor.
Corky
20s - 50s
A warrior creature that is uncharacteristically well-spoken. Heavy creature makeup. Comedic timing a plus.
Merry Widow
20s - 50s
The malevolent specter of a Merry Widow that haunts the city. Role requires makeup prosthetics, physical movement.
Colette
30s - 60s
A flirty diner waitress with a crush on Nick Moon.
Deputy Mayor Ingram
30s - 50s
The Mayor’s right-hand man. Shady, acts like a mob boss.
Mayor Tipton
50s - 60s
The upstanding mayor of the city. Like a true politician, he has a great smile, warm presence and is capable of taking charge of any situation.
Aaron
20s - 30s
Security guard. Sweet natured, little bit of a screw-up.
Joy Carlson
30s - 60s
Trusted local news anchor. On-air experience not necessary, but a plus.
Tina Bartleby
20s - 40s
Local news correspondent and investigative journalist. On-air experience not necessary, but a plus.

It’s official!
On April 23 we hit a huge milestone: Our Kickstarter campaign was funded in a matter of two days!!!
WE'RE OFFICIALLY MAKING DEMON SQUAD 2!!!
Being able to slap the "Just Funded" banner on the campaign thumbnail felt so, so good. Thank you all for making this happen! We hope to make you all proud. Thanks to each and every one of you who pledged and shared the campaign.
We’re bringing on an outside writer to take our story outline and the scenes we’ve written so far and make it all shine. I think many of you will be very familiar with the writer… None other than the super talented Devon Coleman, who was a writer on the Demon Squad episode of Mystery Science Theater 3000!
Devon reached out to us about a month before the episode aired last year, interested to learn our thoughts about the experience and our feedback on the episode once it aired, and we all kind of hit it off. Devon legit enjoyed Demon Squad, gets the characters, the world, and the vibe of what we’re trying to do. So, we’re looking forward to working with Devon to bring this cool story to life.
To everyone who supported the campaign, THANK YOU!

Fighting Owl Films' recently re-launched its Kickstarter campaign for Demon Squad 2 after the original campaign for Deadwatch: Demon Squad 2 was unsuccessful. With a goal of $20,000, the campaign has raised 77% of its goal in less than two days with 144 backers! Demon Squad 2 is the sequel to Demon Squad, the well-received 2019 film that was also featured on the revived cult-classic TV series, Mystery Science Theater 3000.
"We're starting this project from scratch. New story. New script. And a much more attainable goal," said Thomas Smith, director and co-writer. "We're blown away by the response the campaign received."
About Demon Squad 2
Originally released in 2019 to warm critical reception, Demon Squad is a supernatural film noir that followed Nick Moon, P.I. (Paranormal Investigator) as he delved into a hidden world of monsters and creatures of the night to retrieve an ancient artifact with astonishing power. Audiences and critics alike embraced the no-budget independent film, praising it for its ambition, writing, and characters, while posing a similar question: "When's the sequel?" Enter Deadwatch: Demon Squad 2...
Paranormal investigators Nick Moon and Daisy O'Reilly are on the trail of a supernatural killer! When the city's homeless begin turning up dead -- often viciously slaughtered -- it's up to Moon and Daisy to determine who or what is behind the attacks. Complicating matters are Moon's waning mystic abilities and a rival "psychic" spreading rumors of werewolves and serial killers. Join the paranormal team at Full Moon, Inc., as they take on a brand-new case.
"With Demon Squad 2 we want to make the best possible movie we can," Erin Lilley, actor, producer, and co-writer explains. "This is our opportunity to produce a whole new adventure with the resources we need to make it right."
