  Which Sequel?

  Ok, so when last we chatted I was floating my idea for Hellbride II. It’s clearly not the only potential property that we’ve got sitting in the Jinx Media vault, however. We could revisit the KillerKiller universe, for  example. I’ve got a treatment for that knocking around somewhere, too. We could, if the other guys were…

  The Tale of Hellbride II

  Our movie Hellbride has been seen by more people than any other Jinx movie, (with the possible exception of TrashHouse, which was torrented insanely upon DVD release in 2006, but figures for that are really hard to accurately find). It was released on DVD on both sides of the Atlantic, with the UK release getting…

  Jinx Media vs 2016

  Well, the year’s nearly done. It’s been stupidly eventful, stupidly exciting and, at some points, just flat out stupid. I started the year by hosting a new live show before premiering my new movie (Jinx Media’s first full feature since 2007) and then destroying the master copy (and back-up) live on stage. Which was a busy way…

  Filming in a Haunted Asylum

  I’m not a believer in the supernatural. I’m a rational kind of guy. I love writing about ghosts, demons and the possibilities of experiences beyond what we comprehend, but the blunt truth is that I don’t believe in any of it. I’m not a guy to get rattled by dark corridors or abandoned buildings. With…

  Casting Call for Horror Features

  Jinx Media tends to run in cycles when it comes to production. Between February 2004 and August 2007, we shot a total of four feature films, our busiest run so far. Our plans over the next three years are more ambitious than even that prolific run from the middle of last decade. We’ve got some…

  Amazon Video Direct, Vimeo on Demand and the Independent Filmmaker

  So Amazon have now launched a new VOD service called Amazon Video Direct, which will allow filmmakers to charge for their work and has been labelled as a cross between Netflix and YouTube. This is an interesting new wrinkle in amongst the VOD options available to filmmakers and indies. We’re planning on trying it out this…

  Nudity in Independent Horror Films

  I’ve read a couple of pieces about nudity in horror films recently. As an independent horror filmmaker who needs to get my stuff distributed in order to stay in the game, the question of nudity tends to crop up in every film we make. I’ve seen it argued that horror tends to shy away from…

  Horror-on-Sea: Pat speaks!

  The Horror-on-Sea festival is shaping up to be a really terrific event for lovers of the genre. Alongside my live show/talk/thing there are screenings of fantastic, brand-new horror flicks from all over the world (including our own Nazi Zombie Death Tales) and other special events.
