Writer/Director Dark. Satirical. Slapstick. Ridiculous. Childish... Enough said. Imagine some well refined comedy. Imagine jokes that have 100% class. Imagine jokes that only people of the highest sophistication would tell. Kings, queens and people of wealth. Now take that idea and throw it out the window, because you're not gonna find that here. RedDragonProductions is a vessel for slapstick comedy, surreal comedy, and possibly slightly offensive comedy. The minds behind this channel are brothers Benjamin Pearce (currently a US Marine) and Evan Pearce (currently a theater major at IUP.) Follow them if you want to continue seeing these weird people do weird things on their weird youtube channel. RED DRAGON PRODUCTIONS in association with Cigarette Burn Entertainment & Benjamin Pearce Films Brings you an epic blend of stylized witty, epic, satirical, nerdy and ridiculous homage styled comedy skits. In 2007 I founded the YouTube channel RedDragonProductions. The concept was simple: to make people laugh. Throughout the years we continued to do so. From June 2007 to June of 2016. Sadly we let that project end and are moving onto other projects and chapters in our lives. We ended with 13 million viewers and thousands of subscribers, met many exciting people throughout the world, and even was sponsored from google from 2008-2013 to create content. This project is complete and it is time to move on.

While in town, they pick up some movies at their local video store "Film Fiesta", go home and watch "Hot Fuzz", and are inspired to go blow money on some real guns. After returning from a long road trip out of town, they discover the town seems to be completely deserted. That is until they run into the gun-wielding Kintner boy(Jacob Pearce), the next door neighbor, who seems to behave oddly once firing the weapon at the two brothers. After the encounter, they discover more hostile children, but are rescued by ex-military soldier Glenn Demicks, who informs the brothers of a waterborne parasite that infects the minds of adolescent children. Glenn is shot and killed shortly after, and Erin and Mitch are on their own, fighting for their lives.
