A cast of older professionals like Lee Majors (Out Cold) and Lupe Ontiveros (Storytelling) mixed with some fresh faced up and coming hunks of the silver screen that include Matthew Montgomery (Socket), Matthew Leitch (Below) and Marco Dapper (Eating Out 2: Sloppy Seconds) get ready to take on one of the scariest villians in horror lore and Greek mythology -
"Medusa"
Medusa is known for having a hair full of snakes and for turning anyone that ever looks at her eyes into stone. Plot details are still scarce on "Medusa". This is the only plot synopsis available to date: A Columbia University professor attempts to fight the evil spirit of the mythological Medusa.
Medusa is still in pre-production. Filming is set for Romania where Jorge Ameer will be taking on writting, producing and directing duties.

Jason Paul Collum is the genre director of several films and was featured as Bachelor of the Month in Instinct magazine. He is mentored by legendary scream queen Brinke Stevens who starred in two of his more popular efforts October Moon and its sequel November Son. Both of these films were refreshingly different films in the genre as they were gay psychological horror thrillers. We had the chance to ask him a few questions about his career and these films. Here is what he had to say:
For horror fans who may be unfamiliar with you, who is Jason Paul Collum and what is he all about?
I'm a guy with my hands in a lot of pots. I write, direct, produce and very occasionally act (a loose term) in mostly low-budget, independent films. I've worked on projects with budgets as low as $500 and as high as $150,000. I even worked...

If you have Netflix have you been using their instant watch service? It's obviously both the future and way too empty calorie addictive. It's like Fast Food Movies. So many films available right that very second. Just click a button. Even if you're only mildly curious about something... why not? You've already paid the subscription free.
Surgeon Bill Matthews (Derek Long) loves that static electricity
I recently sat through an entire movie, Socket (2007), about a man who survives a lightning strike and gets seriously addicted to electricity, but sitting through an entire movie is not the norm. Usually instant watch encourages quick perusals and scan-throughs... which is nothing like a real movie experience. It's more like channel surfing on only one channel until you realize "yeah, this movie is not for me." Then you change channels and start over. But you might be fooling yourself because that's no way to watch a movie.

December 1 is World AIDS Day, and I have the pleasure of knowing someone HIV+ who is both connected to the horror/sci-fi world and a huge fan, actress Alexandra Billings.
I met Alexandra ages and ages ago, right around when someone invented fire. We were both eyeballs deep in the Chicago theater community, doing show after show, sometimes two or even three different plays a night, with the energy only a 20-something possesses. We worked together, became friends, and eventually both moved to La around the same time. You can read a fairly detailed account of her Chicago days (through my eyes) including a lot of info about her transgender journey in my other blog here: http://zombietruckstop.livejournal.com/2006/12/01/ - and of course on her own website.
After so much theater, Alexandra now swims around the Los Angeles on-camera, TV and film pool, slowly but surely convincing forward-thinking casting...

Part 2 of the Big Bear Horror Film Festival recap. Read Part 1 here.
Saturday
After being up way too late the night before watching Golden Girls and Sex And The City reruns in my hotel room (P.S., I’m totally gay), it was time to get back to the Big Bear Horror Film Festival for a really great film, Die-ner (Get It?).
Yes, the “Get It?” is part of the film title, which I’m now publicly begging the filmmakers to change. Why? Because this film is so much smarter than the title. Die-ner (Get It?) is a well directed, well written and well acted serial-killer-plus-zombie flick that makes great use of its limited resources. I don’t want to give too much away, but I definitely recommend Patrick Horvath’s awesome motion picture.
As we walk out of the theater for a quick break, J.T. Seaton* and Michael Simon* join our gay horror cabal.

As I drove up the winding mountain road to Big Bear, CA in the pitch-black night, I wondered, “What’s gay about the Big Bear Horror Film Festival?” Answer: just about everything.
What I didn’t realize before arriving was that a large homo contingent would be in attendance. In fact, there were so many gays in this tiny mountain village, to write “out gay ____” before each name I mention would be a chore. So I’m going to denote all the gay up in Big Bear with a “*”.
The Backstory: Several months ago Bbhf founder Michael Coulombe* pinged me via this blog with some very preliminary info on the fest. Sensing an opportunity to spread my super-important opinions around, I offered myself up as a judge for the festival. Realizing what a publicity juggernaut this blog can be, he immediately said, “Yes!” and I was on board.

In a interview I did with Sean Abley, writer,producer, & actor from 'Socket' for the 1st issue of Nowhere 2 Be Found Magazine coming out in January. He talked a little about the upcomming sequel. ..."The plot starts about a month after the end of the first film, with Matthew Montgomery's character waking up from his coma. We find that one of the characters from the first film has involved herself in the electric "reasearch", and together they figure out a way to make it even more twisted." They are currently searching for funding "I really hope we can start it soon" he said.

Writer/director Stephen J. Hadden sent along the news that his sci-fi/horror feature Bio-dead makes its debut today via video-on-demand, as well as some new exclusive photos (see them below). The movie will be available via the Time Warner, Bright House and Charter digital cable providers.
Bio-dead, which we last reported on here, stars Socket’s Derek Long, Matthew C. Norton, Tony Williams, Rick Hall and Jacob W. Gentry in the story of a hazmat team who go into a bioterror-contaminated section of Southern California and become plagued by both scary hallucinations and a vicious predator. Lightning Media has the distribution rights; you can see the movie’s official website here.

Director Stephen Hadden just dropped us a line to let us know his grisly post-apocalyptic themed horror film Bio-dead will have its world premiere via nationwide video-on-demand on Thursday August 6, 2009 through Time Warner, Bright House and Charter digital cable providers.
Synopsis:
Set in the not-too-distant future, “Bio-dead” takes place during the aftermath of a bioterrorist attack that has killed twelve million people and rendered Southern California uninhabitable. The once thriving mecca has now become a contaminated wasteland known as “The Zone”. Hazmat teams are dispatched into “The Zone” to search for survivors and document all casualties.
When a lone hazmat team enters a seemingly abandoned building after dark, the men begin to experience terrifying hallucinations and soon realize that they are not alone. Trapped inside the compound with no escape, the terrified team finds themselves locked in a struggle for survival against a vicious predator… and each other.

Last summer ABC's I Survived a Japanese Game Show was a pleasant surprise for me in the way it captured the bizarre and campy quality of the Japanese TV I've watched since childhood. Between the silly costumes, slapstick challenges, and the combined genius of the sayonara boys and the show's take on the walk-of-shame (eliminated contestant walks away from the studio still dressed in whatever costume they were wearing at the time while melodramatic piano music plays), it was pure TV candy.
The madness is now back for a second season, and it turns out one of the competitors is an out bear comic. The show lists Bob "Bobaloo" Koenig as a "House Cleaner" but he was also a part of the "Bears on the Run" comedy tour, has performed in the Outlaugh! comedy festival and has played roles in gay films like The Gay Bed and Breakfast of Terror and Socket.

Day Three
On Sunday I tried to make it to the Vindication panel to see writer/director Bart Mastronardi and his cast, but just couldn’t do it as I had NewFest commitments. Later I did race from NewFest (in Chelsea) to the con to catch the Vindication screening. I got there about 10 minutes late, but the room was standing room only. I’ve already seen the film, so I’m glad my butt wasn’t taking a seat from someone who hasn’t seen this really f-ing awesome film. Keep an eye out in this blog for more info and interviews from the cast and crew in the near future.

Somehow the gay scheduling gods and the horror scheduling gods saw fit to allow Fango’s NYC Weekend Of Horrors and NewFest: The New York Lgbt Film Festival to overlap this year. Which meant that I got to fly to NYC for both the world premiere of my latest gay thriller, Pornography, and some good, fanboy geekout.
The downside to film fests and conventions is - I really hate crowds. I’m a very shy person, believe it or not, and being dropped into a crowd of people I don’t know is pretty much torture. (Strangely, I love to talk in front of a crowd.) I’ve learned to handle it because I have to, but… blech. So I have to give big ups to Alan Rowe Kelly, Bart Mastronardi and Jerry Murdock for letting me tag along all weekend.

Sean Abley is about to scare you again.
The director of the recent Sf/horro themed Socket has produced a new twisted tale of pain, dread, death -- and porn. Directed by David Kittredge, who edited Abley's Socket feature, Pornography is, according to Abley, a "paranormal thriller set in the world gay adult video."
“It’s about what happens when a porn star disappears in the ’90s," Kittredge explains. " 15 years later, two guys try to figure out what happened. The mystery of what occurred kind of recedes as they search, and the obsession with finding out what was real and what was fantasy about pornography in general, and how they blur, becomes the real journey. It’s kind of about searching for something that you don’t really want to know the answer to, but you have to keep probing.”

Let’s tackle that quartet first.

When Tony asked me to moderate a panel on The Lair for at the Los Angeles Weekend of Horrors, I was thrilled. I participated in a bunch of panels at Gaylaxicon a couple years ago and had a ball because, let’s face it, I’m a bit of a ham. So the opportunity to be on a panel at a Fango con was an automatic, “Yes!”
As the date approached, I started to feel more and more nervous. I wondered if anyone would actually show up for this panel. I mean, The Lair is a fun show, but it’s on a Pay-Per-View network, and I would guess that ninety percent of its audience is more camp enthusiast than horror fanatic. Would there be any fans of The Lair actually attending the con? And more importantly, would there be any Glbt horror fans attending the con? Okay, yes, obviously...

Bio-dead, which was produced by Manfred Drews II and stars Socket’s Derek Long, Matthew C. Norton, Tony Williams (first photo), Rick Hall and Jacob W.

If his career keeps moving in the same direction, Matthew Montgomery may end up being the gay Parker Posey. Having played leads in at least seven independent features in just five years, plus another handful of supporting roles, he has established his indie street cred at a time when gay cinema seems to be exploding. Fans of gay cinema will probably remember Montgomery from Gone, But Not Forgotten, Long-term Relationship and the supernatural-tinged Back Soon.
Getting his start in Reign Of The Dead, a living dead short lensed in and around “Zombie Ground Zero,” Pittsburgh, he’s made his way up the indie food chain and appeared in other genre films, including Socket (which I wrote and directed, natch), Fear House and the upcoming Pornography.
But Montgomery isn’t just an actor in horror and sci-fi flicks; he’s a fan of them as well. A professed sci-fi nerd, Montogmery...

Writer/director Stephen J. Hadden sent along the exclusive makeup FX photo seen below and some info on his new fright feature Bio-dead. The pic features actor Derek Long, recently seen in Socket, in the midst of a sequence in which prosthetics “were applied to his face and torso to simulate knife wounds, burns and a gouged-out eye,” Hadden tells us.
Long stars in Bio-dead as Benson, leader of a hazmat team sent to search for survivors after terrorists unleash a lethal toxic weapon into the atmosphere over Southern California. Deep within the uninhabitable region known as “The Zone,” they come across what appears to be an empty building, but after venturing inside, they soon find themselves being stalked by a vicious predator, while suffering from frightening hallucinations.
“Bio-dead was inspired by my love for postapocalyptic cinema, especially the films made by the Italians in the early 1980s,” Hadden says.

Case in point: Todd Farmer, screenwriter of Jason X (with my favorite in the series after the original) and My Bloody Valentine 3D (with Zane Smith), which I saw on opening weekend and absolutely loved.

Fangoria.com has launched Gay Of The Dead, the first-ever gay horror blog to be featured on a major non-gay horror website. The blog is written by out filmmaker Sean Abley, who helmed the critically acclaimed gay sci-fi/horror flick Socket.
