Writing Credentials

GoreZone Magazine

I wrote for them for about a year.  What was cool about that magazine was that they were (at the time) an almost totally European magazine and I was the only American writer.  I had my own column entitled The Cold Room where I highlighted not only the projects I was working on, but I brought press releases, DVD Release info and other exclusive little tidbits about other independent horror films being made.  I also did a few feature articles, including a history of the entire Howling series, as well as my version as an American of their top 20 Video Nasties.  I also did a few DVD reviews for them.

Dark Disc Magazine

I also wrote for a magazine that only had one release called Dark Disc.  I did two interviews in that edition.  The first was with Christine Parker, Director and Producer of The Forever Dead.  The second interview was with Bill Mulligan, whom had acted, produced, and did the make-up FX with me on set for The Forever Dead.

G.A.S.P. Magazine

In the Feb. 2009 issue, exclusive interviews with Mischa Perez (Director, Producer and Actor of the upcoming Mental Scars) and Richard Myles (Writer, Producer and Actor for the upcoming Mental Scars).

The Deditorials

I have my own original series entitled The Deditorials. This is where I would take topics that were going around in the genre and wrote opinion pieces on.  Topics ranged from the MPAA and the Ratings System, a Horror Hall Of Fame, Major Retailers Banning Movies Releases and so on.  I have also done several behind the scenes articles on films I have worked on.

Interviews

I have also done interviews with, Christine Parker ( Dir, Pro: The Forever Dead), Bill Mulligan (Pro, Actor, Make-up FX: The Forever Dead), Don May, JR (Owner of Synapse Films), Stephen Biro ( Owner of Unearthed Films), Peter M Bracke (Writer of Crystal Lake Chronicles), Matt Pennachi (Program Director of The Carolina Theatre), Lilith Stabs (Scream Queen), Melantha (Countess Bathoria, Model, Actress), Heidi Martinuzzi (Actress, Pretty/Scary.net, Women of Horror Calendar),  Rob Avery (Dir: Psychos Gone Wild), and Alex Ferrari Dir: Broken).

All of these interviews can be found on my company’s website:

This is also the site address for my Make-Up and FX Company, Slit of the Wrist.

On my site, you can read my interviews, see the trailers for the films I have done, slideshow views of all of my work on set, and see what future projects I have worked on.

I will have some behind the scenes interviews coming up with Aaron Harvey of Fixed Point Films (Dir of Lionsgate Home Entertainment The Evil Woods), Blake Faucette (Pro of Z13 The Zombie Within and the upcoming World War Dead), and Voltron Jones (Dir of Z13 The Zombie Within).  There will be more coming in the later months.
