An Interview With Tyler Christensen Writer-Director Of House Of Purgatory

Today, I had a conversation with Tyler Christensen. We talked about a lot of things including the state of horror, his new film ‘House of Purgatory‘, and the future of film. Honestly, it was the best conversation about horror I’ve had in a long time. Christensen’s background is in reality TV, but his true love is the horror genre. He has produced several series that you may have seen, ‘Billy the Exterminator’, ‘Wild West Alaska’ and more. He was much more eager to talk about his first film, ‘House of Purgatory’, which will be released on October 21st. Horror Fuel: You have produced several reality series. What made you decide to switch to writing horror? TC: I’ve always wanted to. But reality is what has payed the bills. I’m in LA and I thought it was time, so I took six months off to write the script for House of Purgatory. The one thing I got from college was how

A Conversation With Comic Book Creator And Author Mitch Hyman

Earlier today I picked up the phone to interview comic book creator/actor/writer/producer/SFX makup artist/funny man Mitch Hyman, the man behind Bubba the Redneck Werewolf. I was not quite sure what to expect. I had no idea that Hyman would such an interesting, funny and sincere man. By the time I hung up the phone my sides were sore from laughing and my head was swimming with the fascinating stories he told. This man, who sometimes bills himself as “The asshole writer” at conventions, not a very fitting title, was far from unpleasant. It was the most interesting conversation I’ve had in ages. My interest in Hyman started over the hilarious trailer I discovered for his film Bubba the Redneck Werewolf , but I came to understand there was much, much more to the writer. Not only is there the Bubba the Redneck Werewolf comic, there’s a novel featuring two unique characters named Vinnie and Mook, who will be introduced in

A Conversation With Fright Hype’s Mike Hickey

Today I had the pleasure of talking with Mike Hickey, filmmaker and writer/host of Crypt TV’s Fright Hype, a great program that supplies news and updates about horror films and more. Mike took the time to answer a few of my questions and I would like to share them with you now. KM “How did you get into horror?” MH “As a kid I was into Halloween, more than normal. I stayed spooky. I was always into horror. My mom wasn’t though. She was fine with movies like the old Disney Legend of Sleepy Hallow and Hocus Pocus and stuff like that, but when I was around 10 I remember having a sleepover at my godmother’s (who was into horror movies) so I could watch Wolf with Jack Nicholson, and Bram Stoker’s Dracula.” KM “What was the horror movie that got you hooked?” MH “I watched Scream when I was 13. That really stuck with me.” KM “How did your

An Interview With Actress Bianca Bradey Of ‘Wyrmwood: Road Of The Dead’

I had the chance to interview actress Bianca Bradey. Bradey’s most recent film was the zombie film ‘Wyrmwood: Road of the Dead’. In the movie, Bradey plays the role of Brooke, a badass heroine that develops the power to control zombies after she receives a series of shots from a deranged scientist after being kidnapped. Bradey does a fantastic job in the movie. Her character comes across as tough, but sexy. You have to see ‘Wyrmwood’ for yourself to truly appreciate her performance. Bradey was kind enough to speak with me and answer a few of my questions. KM “How did you get started in acting?” BB “I always wanted to be an actor. I started acting, singing, and dancing when I was very young. But I never pursued it seriously. I was always so shy when I was little. I never really believed in myself enough I think. But one day I woke up and realized I wasn’t being

For those of you who haven’t heard about the horror-comedy ‘Ghostpuncher’, let me fill you in. ‘Ghostpuncher’ is the brain-child of Gemini award winning actor/writer Jordan McCloskey . Jordan starred on the TV series ‘The Wilkinsons’ and the series ‘Three Chords From the Truth’. Now Jordan has set out to make an unforgettable and completely original movie with blood, gore, creepy ghosts and a few laughs. I sat down today to talk with Jordan about his project. The man on the other end of the phone was over flowing with excitement about ‘Ghostpuncher’ and I can’t blame him, by the time I hung up the phone I was psyched about this indie film too. ‘Ghostpuncher’ tells the story of a single father and his son, who have moved into a new house, unaware of the fact that the home is haunted by three spirits. The home now stands on the foundation of where a nineteenth century poor-house once stood. The
