TOMMY McLOUGHLIN – Interview

It’s been debated many times,” which era is considered the best in the horror film genre?” The trend in the 1970′s seemed to focus on films that portrayed demonic possession, people were mesmerized by this. The current focus seems to be the paranormal activity type films that began to surface in the early 2000′s. However for the majority of die-hard horror film fans, it’s still the “Slasher” films of the 1980′s that seem to compel us again and again.

UWE BOLL – Interview

Life doesn’t have many pillages in it. There is the occasional moment where some bitch cuts you off in traffic and then you get speed up to her car and yell “Your Mother is a cunt” to her 4 kids sitting the back of the car while giving the family the finger. Beyond that there’s cheating on your taxes and every now and then you get something very special dropped into your lap.

JOSEPH MADDREY – Interview

As a supporter to the Independent filmmaker, I am also a full supporter to the Independent writer as well. This time, I am bringing your attention to a young author who has jumped into the horror genre with both feet, Joseph Maddrey and the book, Beyond fear: Reflections on Stephen King, Wes Craven, and George A. Romero. The chances of a young writer having the opportunity to do a book about not just one ‘legend of horror’, but three is pure luck! This book is full of horrifying treats, but before we get to that, let’s learn a little more about its author, Joseph Maddrey.

JOHN PHILBIN – Interview

It seems many actors come from the Mid-West to make it big in the film industry. That’s not always the case. Actor John Philbin was born April 27, 1960, right in the film capital of the world, California. Acting wasn’t even his first love. It was the awesome waves, and the sandy beaches of sunny southern California, that were John’s first passion.
