WEEKEND OF HORRORS

Thought I would drop by briefly tonight and tell you that Fangoria (Day One) was a lot of fun! Now I know what a panel is, and what to do on one!! Basically its a huge room with four chairs on a stage at one end, and a few journo's, photographers and interested parties hanging out in the other bit of the room. Then they show clips from the movie, you file up on to the stage, tell everyone how happy you are with the film, and leave again!! Easy. After that whole thing, I hung out with the directors, producers, writers and cast of both Evilution and Basement Jack, signed a few posters and talked about the third movie in the trilogy, "The Necropolitan" - this will begin production later in the year, and from what I gather, I play some kind of 'Angel'.....could be a dark one, or a fallen one, or a trapped one, .......who knows! With these guys, its bound to be fun, freaky and there will be LOADS of blood involved!! The pic shows me hanging with Eric (actor and producer) at the booth with posters for all three movies behind us.

Having been down there again today, I wanted to update this post. There are TONS of crazy horror fans roaming the streets of downtown LA!! Look at this guy in the orange suit. He was just one of MANY!! I have no idea who he is, or what movie he was promoting - he just wandered by and stood there!!! SO weird! It was a ton of fun. And I am absolutely proud to say that the screening of Basement Jack was a cast iron success. I am so humbled to have been asked to be in the movie and the whole cast and crew did a fantastic job. The movie has a look and feel to it that totally belies it's low budget indie roots. Michael has just made the whole thing so polished, so high end looking, the cast are wonderful, and of course, its all down to a great story and great screenplay, courtesy of Mr Brian Patrick O'Toole. I cannot wait to get started on The Necropolitan later in the year.

Also, I can tell you that I am producing and acting in a movie called A Necessary Evil. Yep - I am taking it one step further, and as you can see by the poster I am standing next to, we really do have a script, a title and ....we are gonna make the movie! Again, just like most everything else I do, I don't have much of a clue what Producers actually DO....but I'll figure it out as we go along. I am just happy to be involved in this one, as the script is fucking awesome! More on A.N.E. as it comes. For now, I am gonna pick up a few posters of Evilution and Basement Jack when I go back down there tomorrow and give em away on CFR soon. I'll see if we can get them signed by some of the cast and crew.

Thats it from me - exhausted by all this gratuitous blood letting. Wanted to throw up a picture of Mick Jones and Tony James from Carbon:Silicon that was taken on my IPhone at the NME Awards during the week. Not the greatest picture, but definately a cool night out. Mick and Tony happen to have been in two of the most revered Punk bands ever - The Clash and Generation X.... so respect is due. Thanks to Paul, yesterdays Podcast is now up as usual - the miracles of "Modern Technology" enabled Dave to be in New York, me to be running around with monsters, and both of us to still be providing All New CFR on Indie 1031. Thanks for staying up ridiculously late and getting it for everyone Paul. Today, I have to stay in front of my computer and learn 24 new Camp Freddy covers in time for tomorrows rehearsals. No chance whatsoever of doing that, but I'm gonna give it a go anyway. See ya.
