Don’t tell director Matt O’Mahoney what he can’t see. His strong opinions toward censorship have found a brutal, bloody, entertaining outlet in his splatterfest Bloody Knuckles, which premiered at the Fantasia Festival on July 27. His short film, Electric Fence, won best short horror film at the Fantastic Fest in 2008.
Bloody Knuckles finds an underground comic book artist who, after offending local asian gangsters, loses his drawing hand. Withdrawn and literally severed from his art, the artist turns inward, until his severed hand insists he get back to work with appropriately nauseating results. Sound On Sight sat down with O’Mahoney to discuss violence, growing up twisted and the changing nature of censorship.
Sound on Sight: When did you first start writing Bloody Knuckles?
Matt O’Mahoney: Oh God, about two years ago. I had this screenplay I was working on and it evolved into what it is now.

First up, clear your schedules, because snicks is liveblogging Days of Our Lives today, and from what I hear around the newsroom, he's liveblogging all next week (including Memorial Day).
Molly Ringwald may be getting pushback on whether Ducky was gay, but she can be sure she's surrounded by a bunch of gays when she's the Grand Marshall of L.A. Pride.
One Million Moms is boycotting both Marvel and DC over their gay characters, which I'm certain they're grateful for. Evidently though, it's not gay if there's a robot penis involved.
The Southern Poverty Law Center is calling out the National Organization for Marriage for their tendency to denounce extremist groups for their language while still linking out to their anti-gay screeds and discredited studies. I bet Brian Brown would love the martyr status that would come with being designated a hate group.
Alvin McEwen has an excellent rebuttal...
