Take care of your actors.
They might just get hurt...
I’ve always been one for total creative expression and artistic endeavour; be it my own or exploring what anyone has to offer. But to be honest, my main area of focus has always been film; more specifically the dark, deviant and nightmarish underworld of HORROR CINEMA!!! Ever since I was 4 years old and saw Tom Holland’s 1988 cult success ‘Child’s Play’ for the first time (on new release no less!), I got the terror bug and fell in love with the genre from that day on. And after a temporary lull during the early to mid 1990s, I am thrilled to agree (as any fan would) that horror has finally picked itself up again and is back with a delicious vengeance, heading in an exciting new direction not seen since the good-old days!!
I’m also into making little twisted short films of my own, pushing myself forever harder to follow my dreams of one day getting into the biz and getting the opportunity to make the kind of sick and disgusting flicks that made my blood pump and heart race when I was still in grade school. Perhaps not surprisingly, I’m a collector of everything horrific and detestable, making and effort to fill the walls, floors and general atmosphere of my room with assorted horror memorabilia.
I also love to draw, paint and craft my imagination onto paper or canvas; finding great inspiration from my favourite surrealist painters such as Frances Bacon, Salvador Dali and James Gleeson. I've always felt that making artowrk is one of the exciting and intoxicating feelngs you can ever experience.

Although I’ve always adored music, I don’t currently ‘follow’ it per se’. Never having been one to conform to any one particular genre, I do however, have a fondness for metal. Rob Zombie, Nine Inch Nails, Sevendust, Tool, Deftones, and Incubus are a few favs. Oddly enough though, my favourite song of all time is Roy Orbison’s ‘In Dreams’. Every time I hear his voice and those lyrics I get the same incredible chills.
Фильмы
Where the hell do I start???!!! There is no way in hell this little box can accommodate the answers I have for such a question.
Oh well, I can however declare that my favourite celluloid experience belongs to John Carpenter’s seminal horror opus Halloween – the ultimate slasher film. To this day it still amazes me and brings a huge grin to my face...I can’t say enough about it.
IN STORES NOW!
..
ТВ
Twin Peaks, The X-Files, Millenium, Six Feet Under, Nip Tuck, The Simpsons, Family Guy, American Dad, and Masters of Horror (although, they are mini-movies)!! P.S I FUCKING HATE ‘REALITY T.V’!!!! When will it DIE??!!!!
Книги
All-time fav is ‘American Psycho’ by Bret Easton Ellis. I also have tremendous respect for the grand dady of terror – Stephen King – most notably ‘Pet Semetary’, ‘IT’ and ‘The Shining’. In regard to magazine publication, ‘Fangoria’, Empire', and Playboy’ do the job.

You scored as Captain Spaulding. You are Captain Spaulding. You love a good laugh, but when someone needs to die, you dont mind killing them. You hate people who dont like clowns, and feel they should die too. Infact, you just want to wreak havoc on anyone who hates clowns! Then enjoy a nice bucket of fried chicken after the daily killings!

hmm well i looked at the ones i thought the most appropriate for Del were 15, 16 and 25 from your paintings album or something like that. I'm not sure though because we all know how your stuff is and while i like it, i'm not sure about her. Do you have any ideas?
Hey Sam, long time no speak. I'm sorry to do this but i'm about to be kicked off in a minute. Del has moved into her new apartment in Canberra and it's her 21st next month so i was hoping to give her a painting for both. Do you think you could sell me one? Are you coming down for easter soon? Thanks

I was originally thinking the womans body with bloody handprints but i'm not sure if it would be appropriate so maybe the lips with blood splashing on them. Yeah, we still have that painting. I think i see Gemma in it.
It's not was he says, it's the fact that he does nothing and knows nothing so i'm not learning and my skills aren't growing. Speaking of your work, there's a paiting of yours in your photos that i would love to put on my folder. Is there some way you could let me use the image and send it to me? The homestead, and everyone currently or previously living in it, is fine. Yourself?
I was on the floor for some reason and i just decided to read it. I'm not suprised you did so well. bleh, my photography has fizzled out because my "teacher" is a fool and i don't have the funds for the camera i want. What have you been up to?
So i just randomly foumd amd read your paper of mortality and sexuality in horror movies. Wow! It's really good and made me wish i has seen any of those movies haha. Did you get a good mark for it? laters
I really miss you. I should be in sydney the weekend of the 6th of september, but I'm not sure that I'll have time to see you... :( I will keep you posted tho.
Uni's good, lots of work, but I love it. Me and Alix will have to be in one of ur movies I reckon. So that when u are ridiculously famous I can say, I was in one of ur films.
Wow, that's a lot of cake. Sweet tooth? I prefer savoury myself but i am rather fond of food. Could beat you at eating any day. Skye wouldn't care. I am a guts and she doesn't mind. Hahahaha.
I am currently at work. I don't have much motivation at all. Money motivates me and so does my female (usually through bribes). I am wishing i was in bed. What are you doing, sir?
I do live in Sydney. I am in Newcastle every weekend but i don't think we went out the weekend you were there. Did you have your number on private when you called? Cause i had been trying to figure out who that was!
Hey! So i hear you're moving to Sydney in the near future... well i'm moving to macquarie park on the 14th of this month! It's right near North Ryde and Macquarie uni where i will be going 4 days a week. so excited :) Things are HECTIC right now since i have to get textbooks sorted for all my subjects (starting uni again... yes i know i must be nuts) and furniture for the flat which i will be sharing with bec (that did media with you). So we should all hang out and it will be totally fun and awesome! Anyway many things to pack so toodleoo!
Newcastle should be an interesting experience for you if you haven't been there in years. Shouldn't be hard to arrange some kind of meeting consider i am up there every weekend. So, i hear you're into film? I have to say i am with you on that one. I read your profile, you seem interesting to say the least. Skye has not spoken a bad word about you either so don't be alarmed.
