Woodstake ’99: Three More Days of Peace, Music and Blood

The long-awaited sequel to Woodstake is here. The nightmare continues against a background of corporate greed and Nu Metal.

Current Funding: $2,272
Funding Goal: $1,500
Days Left: 15
Link: Woodstake ’99: Three More Days of Peace, Music and Blood

–

Three decades after the blood-soaked chaos of 1969, the curse of Woodstake rises again. This time the stage is Woodstock 1999—Rome, New York, where peace and love have curdled into anger, greed, and fire. Beneath the blistering sun and the boiling tensions of the crowd, a darker hunger waits, feeding on violence and despair.

When riots erupt, towers collapse, and the fields burn, Artie and Nina’s daughter, Summer, must fight not only for her life but for her mother’s soul, as predators emerge from the shadows.

Woodstake ’99 is a savage, atmospheric descent into a world where the last echoes of peace are drowned out by screams, flames, and blood. A chilling blend of horror, late-‘90s nostalgia, and biting cultural commentary, it is a story of inheritance, survival, and the struggle for humanity in a world consumed by greed and nihilism.

Fletcher was at death’s door…until his body began to heal and his feet lifted off the ground.
