"Hollywood" comes to the village

"12 - Midnight" Coproduced by Jeff Miller and Robert Savakinus, of Cannon Fire Productions, Scranton, PA. (June 2023)


Our guests loved watching "Hollywood" happen at the village while a scene was filmed for an upcoming movie “12 – Midnight” at our vintage house trailer. 


Jeff Miller was so impressed with Tamaqua area, it’s history and scenery and the Village at Houser’s Crossing, that he decided it would be the location for his next movie.  


The Village at Houser’s Crossing provided the right look for a scene.  Miller, who’s independent film company, Millman Productions, specializes in horror and action genres. 


It tells the story of a detective who is despondent over the recent death of his wife.  He is brought back to the police force to track down the serial killer who may be responsible for her death as well as a new slate of recent killings.  He realizes the perpetrator may be superhuman, a werewolf.


In the starring role is Robert Bronzi, a Hungarian actor who bears resemblance to the late actor Charles Bronson.

Cast and Crew from Outhouse Production Films & Lee Film Company, stayed at the village during the production of fantasy feature film “Dream Devil”.  Based on the book by Im Ung, and directed by Robert J Morgalo.


"Dream Devil" is a fantasy tale of a middle-aged man who has lost everything due to a string of bad luck and bad decisions. His dead-end life is turned upside down when he finds a strange medallion and discovers that all that glitters is not gold.
