MAY 6, 2010—REDFORD, MI—While the weather warms and recreational car owners remove the drop-cloths and dust of winter, a black and red 1960 Plymouth Fury begins prowling the streets of southeastern Michigan.

In “Do Not Pass,” an upcoming episode of “Lee Martin’s Midnight Hour,” the furious-looking Fury—touted as “’Christine’s’ kid sister”—will become the leading protagonist in a tale of supernatural mystery and shock. Scheduled to lens July 10-11 along metro Detroit’s few remaining stretches of two-lane highway, area drivers are already noticing the striking car zooming past them on warm, dry days.

“It’s a good idea to get the motor primed and the seals lubricated after a long winter in storage,” remarks grass-roots mechanic Gary McClachlan. “That’ll keep the seals from dry-rotting and leaking.”

The script calls for the driverless car to terrorize small-town citizenry through a number of creative means, while a young man begins to uncover the mystery behind its malevolent life—and lethal agenda.

Port Huron-based actor Edward Sytkowski, who has appeared in smaller roles on “Midnight Hour,” will make his starring role debut as “Will,” a young man juggling the desires of his girlfriend with his domineering father’s (Curtis Lee Vest) drunken attempts to regain his son’s respect.

Producers are searching for suitably rustic stretches of paved two-lane highway and wooded countryside in which to film the episode, including the exterior of a small farmhouse or cottage.

“Do Not Pass” will air Thursdays at midnight and Saturdays at 10:30pm throughout October, 2010. See the Air Dates page of www.themidnighthour.tv for details.
