On a dark and stormy night, a screaming, pregnant woman surrounded by mysterious men in crimson cloaks gave birth to a soul-less child with black eyes and cloven feet. Oh wait, that's a different story.

Pennsylvania-based filmmaker Tony Urban's first company, EPIC FILMS was formed in 1999 with the purpose of producing quality independent films. Over the course of the next two years Epic produced HIGH POINT and then LOSING HOPE. Everyone involved in the company was growing as filmmakers and artists and a more specific goal became apparent. Thus, in October of 2001 Epic was dissolved and CRAZY RALPH FILMS was born.

In the 3 years since, the company has produced several films, receiving both critical praise and enormous amounts of publicity. The company and its films has been mentioned everywhere from the LA Times and Chicago Tribune to MovieMaker and Fangoria Magazines. The company has appeared on TV, been profiled in books and, most importantly, attracted legions of devoted fans.

In the summer of 2004, CRF was joined by FUNHOUSE PICTURES, a North Carolina-based production company. The team co-produced HUNTING SEASON and is currently in production on several projects including THE SHRIEKING. As they say, this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship - one which will lead to many great movies, disgusting amounts of wealth and lots of spilled blood(stage blood, of course).

"Why do we make movies?" An essay by-- Wait a minute, we stopped writing essay's in High School and we sure as hell aren't going to start again now.

Everyone wants to know why we got into the movie business and to be honest, it's an impossible question to answer. Making movies is something you need to do, not something you want to do. You feel the desire burning deep inside you and the thought of NOT making movies sends you into a crippling depression. Or maybe we're just freaks.

The way Tony Urban tells it, Crazy Ralph Films is making "drive-in movies". To CRF drive-in movies can either be campy cheese-fests or vicious shockers, but both have one purpose in mind - to entertain. Ever see the posters for the old, sixties horror movies with big headlines like "Horrible monsters!" "Beautiful women!" "Do not see this film alone or if you have a weak heart!" That's what we're making.

We aren't re-creating Shakespeare but what we are doing is making fun, exciting horror movies with copious amounts of blood, flesh and fear.
