A Message From Catherine Mary Stewart

Message to nightofthecomet.info (former version of this site) from Catherine Mary Stewart (31 October 2007)

“Congratulations on the first anniversary of your fan site! I’m so amazed and thrilled that Night of the Comet has had such a resilient life with such strong, determined and unique fans. When I first heard that fans were trying to get the movie on to DVD I thought “well now isn’t that nice…”, but you guys DID IT!! I am so honored to be a part of something that has so much support! Plus, now I have Night of the Comet on DVD! When we shot Night of the Comet it was somewhat of a labor of love. It was a low budget shoot with a quirky little script. I was attracted to the Reggie character because of her strength and independance combined with the innocent naivete of a young, simple girl thrown in to extrodinary circumstances. We had a great time filming the movie but I don’t think it really occurred to anyone that it would build the fan base that it did and take on a life of it’s own and continue to all these years later. People (especially men around 30 years old) still stop me today and tell me how the movie impacted them a teenage boys. I love it!! You are all truly amazing and I thank you for your love and support of this movie. If I accomplish nothing else in this life, I can say I was a part of a knarly teenager zombie movie called Night of the Comet and it was loved by the most amazing fans and will live on into eternity! …or until a comet comes along and destroys life as we know it…! Lots of Love, Catherine Mary Stewart”
