Our hometown newspaper — Lancaster Newspaper — recently did a huge feature on “I’m Dreaming of a White Doomsday” to cover its local premiere:


From Decay Mag: “A psychological tour de force”

From The Horror Syndicate: “One of the finest directorial debuts in recent memory”


“I’m Dreaming Of A White Doomsday is a different kind of film, touted as both a horror film and a post-apocalyptic nightmare–and it is both of those things but fleetingly–what it really is, at its core, is fear boiled down. The terror of that fraying tether you hold as the world finally snapping. The lovely balloon you look to for a smile and some uplifting feelings floating up, up and away.” – read more here.

From Geek Nerdery: “On a slim budget of around 10 grand, Lombardo and his crew have managed to pull of a once in a lifetime feat by taking a tired trope, that of an apocalyptic Christmas, spinning it around, placing it firmly on its head and then proceeds to kick it in the balls.”

From East Coast Horror Group: “If I had to describe I’m Dreaming Of A White Doomsday in one word it would be hopelessness.”

The imagery Lombardo conjures, coupled with the killer premise, has made this one of our most anticipated films this year.”


April 19th, 2016: Mike Lombardo talks with Amanda Rebholz about White Doomsday, indie filmmaking, and Troma

“Several years ago I was asked to be a part of a documentary about independent horror movies, and as a result of my involvement I was flown to Pennsylvania to film a segment with the rest of the cast. While everyone there were warm and wonderful, there was a boy about my own age who I couldn’t help but notice. He had vivid, brightly-colored tattoos and a messy mop of hair and a grin that took over his entire face. Within ten minutes we were obsessively discussing our mutual love of “Jason X” and its many tie-in novels, and we spent the rest of the party huddled in our own corner geeking out about splatterpunk as a genre and dark comedy elements in horror.”

“It’s 6 p.m. on a Monday and Mike Lombardo is painting his dining room walls white. It would strike me as normal, if not for the surrounding area’s contents. A severed leg. Spongy tentacles. Not to mention, the adjacent room’s canary-yellow wall speckled with bloody red droplets.”

January 18th, 2014: IndieHorror.TV’s director’s chat with Mike Lombardo


December 24th, 2013: Author L. Andrew Cooper’s interview with Mike Lombardo for “The Stall”

“The word “Lovecraftian” is key here because like The Thing, which owes more direct credit to the earlier Hawks/Nyby film and the John W. Campbell short story “Who Goes There?,” “The Stall” clearly springs from the imagination of Lombardo rather than that of (R.I.P.) H.P. Lovecraft. Nevertheless, the rare cinematic adaptations that credit Lovecraft stories and are actually good–most of which are directed by Stuart Gordon–elaborate so much on Lovecraft’s raw material that they often lose the eldritch, unspeakable quality that makes Lovecraft’s prose like no other’s. Gordon tends to lose it by injecting a lot of kinky sex, but the trade of transcendent tone for hypnotic kink still makes for good moviegoing.”
