If you’re in the mood for a unique blend of horror and comedy, look no further than “WJHC-AM,” the latest offering from Big N Funky Productions, currently making waves on VOD streaming platforms. This film is a wild ride, merging the spooky with the hilarious in a way that only Big N Funky can.
“WJHC-AM” tells the story of a smart-mouthed DJ with dreams of making it big in the radio industry. However, the only station willing to take a chance on him is an antiquated Southern Gospel Radio station. As luck (or fate) would have it, his first night on the job coincides with both Y2K and the rapture. What follows is a chaotic, hellish night where literally all hell breaks loose.
Big N Funky Productions is the brainchild of the dynamic duo Big Luke Walker and Funkmaster V (Vinnie Vineyard). The pair initially gained fame as the pro wrestling tag team Big N Funky, known for their comedic heel personas. After years of entertaining fans across the Southeast and Midwest, they transitioned from wrestling to paranormal investigation with their award-winning TV show, “Wrestling With Ghosts.” Alongside fellow wrestler Travis Graves (El Gordo Gringo), they explored haunted locales and cryptid sightings across America, which ultimately inspired their foray into filmmaking.
“WJHC-AM” is part of a larger project, “The Smoky Mountain Chronicles,” a six-part series of horror comedies rooted in the legends and lore of the Appalachian South. The series is a testament to the team’s creative prowess and their ability to blend local folklore with humor and horror. Their adventures have taken them deep into the heart of America’s spooky side, bringing to life the cryptids and ghost stories that have captivated imaginations for generations.
Joining Walker and Vineyard in their cinematic escapades are musician-actresses Kandi Thompson, Amber Shultz, and an eclectic group of around 80 other oddballs. This ensemble brings a diverse array of talents and quirks to the screen, ensuring that there’s never a dull moment in their productions.
“WJHC-AM” is not just a film; it’s an experience. It captures the essence of Southern Gothic horror while injecting a healthy dose of humor. The film’s unique setting—a gospel radio station during the apocalyptic chaos of Y2K—provides a rich backdrop for both scares and laughs. It’s a testament to the creativity and ingenuity of indie filmmakers who are not afraid to take risks and push boundaries.
Big N Funky Productions has carved out a niche for themselves in the horror-comedy genre, and “WJHC-AM” is a shining example of their talent and vision. With their roots in pro wrestling and paranormal investigation, Walker and Vineyard bring a unique perspective to filmmaking that is both refreshing and entertaining.
So, if you’re in the mood for a film that will make you laugh, scream, and maybe even question your reality, tune into “WJHC-AM.” The Funk Train shows no signs of stopping, and we can’t wait to see where it takes us next.
