He shoots, he scores..
The ‘he’ in question being the mighty Phil Sheldon, who has worked on the scores of all my movies since KillerKiller. This evening, I sat down with Phil and listened to his work thus far on Vice Day, (which, for those who haven’t been paying attention, is my chapter of the forthcoming Bordello Death Tales).…

Running up to Christmas..
Having a fun last couple of weeks before Christmas, mixing festive preparations with post-production on BDT. I delivered the mid-cut of my story over to our composer Phil last week, which is always an exciting turning-point in post. I love seeing what he comes up with; sometimes he ends up heading in a fairly counter-intuitive…

Photos and Chainsaws
What you are looking at is the official image of the three directors from Bordello Death Tales. Handsome bunch, aren’t we? (Left to Right: Al Ronald, myself, Jim Eaves). Weird to have ‘official’ photos, which seem to end up getting used over and over again for ages. The black & white photo that’s probably at…

The industry
Hmm.. How do I dance around this subject? Is this something I even want to address? At the end of the day, what is the purpose of this blog? Am I basically just here to plug stuff, and say that everything’s great? Because sometimes it ain’t that great. Because, as far as independents are concerned,…

Good Morning America
And thankyou. Not one for going wildly off topic on this blog, but watching the US election last night was a pretty amazing experience. Pip & I finally turned in at about 7am, after a bottle of bubbly and a couple of cigars. Here’s to a bright and fantastic future. Oh, and just to keep…

More Bordello..
More coverage over at Fangoria (where their new site seems to sometimes glitch in IE for some reason; try Firefox if you have problems) where they also have some exclusive stills, including the first glimpse of Al’s Stitchgirl chapter, which isn’t actually seen in the teaser trailer..

Bordello Death Tales
So, you may have heard that BDT is Bordello Death Tales. The project went public over the weekend, with a teaser trailer, teaser poster and everything. You can check them over at our good friends at HorrorTalk. It’s a really exciting project and it’s great to see the way that it’s coming together; three very…

Hellbride signs
Hellbride has signed with those lovely folks over at Maxim Media/Brain Damage Films and should be hitting the US DVD shelves at the beginning of 2009, unless I miss my guess. I’ve been insanely busy all week sorting out both the HB deal (completing a delivery list is always fun) and also dealing with post-production…

Secret projects again..
See, I’m spending a fair bit of my time at the moment working on a secret project. Again. Last time around, this was The Devil’s Music. This time around, it’s not. It’s.. Ah, no, can’t tell you yet. But soon. Very soon. We had a Jinx Gathering last week, when 40-odd folks from Jinx’s ten…

A review from Kim Newman
I’ve been a fan of Kim Newman’s writing for a long time.. His book Nightmare Movies was one of the first overviews of the horror genre that I ever purchased, and I read it cover to cover more times than I can imagine. A couple of years back, Kim Newman reviewed my first movie TrashHouse…
