Indie Horror Filmmaker John Johnson Struck With Parkinson’s Disease

By Chris Gore | February 28, 2018

Indie Horror Filmmaker John Johnson of the PLAN 9 remake as well as over 180 films has decided to go public with his battle with Parkinson’s.

Parkinson’s and me. That’s right guys and ghouls. I am playing life on hard mode. I started showing symptoms in 2015, and have been in out of the doctors from 2016 on. I am on the wiggle monster meds and they have helped a little. But getting the proper dose is no easy feat. Especially with young onset. It is not a death sentence nor is it taking my life away. I am with the good. Been dealing with it for years now. It is definitely not the great time you read about in the brochure, and I am sure one day Michael J. Fox will save me right before I am struck by lightning containing 1.21 gigawatts. But until then, there is nothing I can’t do (even hold a camera steady) it’s just harder for me to do. And my special brand of the Parks is more about the stiffness rather than wiggly jiggly any who. Mariah and I are truly okay. It sucks. But it can be dealt with and I have been knocked down enough in my life to know how strong I am in getting back up. And I will always get back up. It’s just sometimes I may need to take a nap first. Especially when you get smacked by the gods. So this is my outing pawty. And now in the future when ya see me and things look a little off, just know I am trying to vibrate into another dimension…

John is still rolling right along with upcoming projects:

  • 7th Guest The Series (Based on the Cult Video Game Franchise)
  • Rifters (Sci-Fi, Action Film)
  • The Dark Net (Horror film for Amazon Prime)
  • XMAS (Horror Comedy Musical)

The Film Threat staff wish John well and salute him for going public with this news. You can keep up with him and his projects on Facebook: www.facebook.com/johnnydstone

    I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease four years ago. For over two years, I relied on Levodopa and several other medications, but unfortunately, the symptoms kept getting worse. The tremors became more noticeable, and my balance and mobility started to decline quickly. Last year, out of desperation and hope, I decided to try a herbal treatment program from NaturePath Herbal Clinic.
    Honestly, I was skeptical at first, but within a few months of starting the treatment, I began to notice real changes. My movements became smoother, the tremors subsided, and I felt steadier on my feet. Incredibly, I also regained much of my energy and confidence. It’s been a life-changing experience I feel more like myself again, better than I’ve felt in years.If you or a loved one is struggling with Parkinson’s disease, I truly recommend looking into their natural approach.

    I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s 12 years ago and I’ve been on carbidopa levodopa since but my hands were still shaking so last July I had PD-5 formula and it was the best decision I made. I feel like a new woman and I can eat soup again! We feel very fortunate to have learned about the PD-5 formula.. Checkout their website Limitless health center. co m DON’T GIVE UP HOPE!!!

    My husband has Parkinson’s disease, adding PD-5 herbal formula to his nighttime Parkinson’s meds has completely changed his sleep issues. He slept all day and up all night, we had to hire care nurses. Now using this PD-5 medicine for the last four months and a normal routine he sleeps almost completely through the night and may get up once to use the restroom. It’s improved so much we were able to let go of the night nurses. This medicine also helps a ton with memory. we got the treatment from www. Limitless healthcenter. co m I am absolutely confident that this program offers a viable solution. I hope someone find this helpful, We feel very fortunate to have learned about pd-5

      My husband was diagnosed of Parkinsons disease 2 years ago, when he was 49. He had a stooped posture, tremors, right arm does not move and also a pulsating feeling in his body. He was placed on Senemet for 8 months and then Sifrol was introduced and replaced the Senemet, during this time span he was also diagnosed with dementia. He started having hallucinations, lost touch with reality. Suspecting it was the medication I took him off the Siferol (with the doctor’s knowledge) and started him on PD-5 natural herbal formula we ordered from AKNNI HERBAL CENTRE, his symptoms totally declined over a 3 weeks use of the AKANNI HERBAL Parkinson’s disease natural herbal formula. He is now almost 51 and doing very well, the disease is totally reversed!  (Visit w w w.aknniherbscentre .com)

    PLAN 9 is a very intense and effective movie. I got to know about John last year on a Blog, since then I have watched a few movies of him. He is definitely among the most professional Indie film-makers. Planning to watch his “Skeleton Key” series. I wish he get well soon; can understand how threatening this disease is.
