The Story So Far...

Temptation Red is a blood-soaked descent into the supernatural underworld of Charlotte, NC, where ancient powers clash with modern darkness. At the center of it all are two cursed souls:

Madam – a centuries-old vampire burdened by immortality and a hunger she can’t escape.
Wayne – a man born with a dangerous legacy and a taste for flesh.

Together, they're drawn into a violent struggle against secrets, addiction, and the monsters both outside and within.

Why We’re Here

We’ve already done the impossible:

Episode 1 is complete and streaming now.
Episode 2 is in post-production, premiering this June.
Now, we're gearing up for Episode 3 and we want to bring you with us.

We’re raising $15,000, direct to us, to cover cast and crew pay, production needs, special effects, and post-production for Episode 3.

This isn’t a concept. This is real. The world of Temptation Red is already alive—now we’re inviting you to help push it further into the shadows.

Why Donate to Mechanized Productions

We’re not some faceless studio.

We’re indie creators doing this in the margins of our full-time lives and with full-time passions.

We’re making the kind of horror we want to see: gritty, character-driven, supernatural, and grounded in real emotion.

We also hold ourselves to a higher standard than most production companies, both indie and major. We believe in giving people chances, treat our cast and crew with the utmost respect they deserve for their time and talent, and strive for providing a quality product even if we are on a small budget.

Small budget =/= Small Goals

With your support, we’ll continue proving that indie doesn’t mean low-quality...it means fearless.

Why DIRECT Crowdfunding

At Mechanized Productions, we’re building more than just a show, we’re building a space where indie horror thrives, where the cast and crew are paid fairly, and where fans are part of the process from day one.

And to do that... we’re cutting out the middleman.

While sites like Kickstart and Seed&Spark have their place, they limit what funds are available to indie creators and the timeframes don't fit in with their day to day lives. Sometimes it can take months to years to build up a platform big enough to generate the kind of crowdfunding needed for a project like this.

In addition to that:

Lower fees = more money goes directly into the show
Platforms like Kickstarter take a chunk of every dollar raised. Using our own platform lets us stretch your support further which means the funds go straight into cast, crew, practical effects, and post.

We’re already set up
Our website and Square store are live. No waiting. No weird third-party forms. No approval delays. We’re ready to roll.
