SURVIVANCE

This weekend marks the 38th anniversary of the cataclysmic eruption of Mount St. Helens on May 18, 1980. Director Jeff Lieberman and his crew were filming JUST BEFORE DAWN down in Silver Falls State Park this same weekend in 1980, although the story is that they had taken Sunday off and were out at the coast when the proverbial shit hit the fan. In any case, to celebrate this historical collision of natural and cinematic violence, we had no choice but to stomp around Oregon's “crown jewel” and make like a couple of homicidal inbred cretins. If it is at all possible, we strongly encourage you to do the same. Silver Falls is a majestic region of the world, and visiting will make our screening on July 27th even more enjoyable! The nightmare has begun. Er...the hiking season. Whatever, man.


Apparently word got out among the locals that actress Jamie Rose would be swimming topless for a scene and tons of “curious” pervs showed up to watch the shoot that day. So many, in fact, that Lieberman had to angle the shot so the onlookers couldn’t be seen in the final cut.


Ooops!

Have a drink on me.

If that ain't you touching my toes...

Take only photos, leave only corpses.

Man on the Silver Mountain.

This beauty is just one of the TEN waterfalls to be enjoyed on the 8.7 mile loop at Silver Falls!
