JOHNNY GRUESOME Book Trailer
I'm probably best known for writing and directing the 1988 cult horror film SLIME CITY, available on DVD at my website, slimeguy.com. I also made UNDYING LOVE, which E.I. Cinema released on VHS under the horrible title NEW YORK VAMPIRE; it is not yet available on DVD. My third film, NAKED FEAR, is an extra on the SLIME DVD.
In 2004, my first novel, PERSONAL DEMONS, was selected by acclaimed author T.M. Wright as the winner of the anubis Award for Horror, a publishing contest which resulted in the book being published as a Limited Edition hardcover and small press paperback.
In January of 2008, my new novel, JOHNNY GRUESOME, was published as a Limited Edition HC by Bad Moon Books, featuring an introduction by Jeff Strand and artwork by Eric Mache and Zach McCain. The LE is almost sold out.
Giasone and Marcy Italiano created GRUESOME, a rock CD based the book; Matt Patterson of Matty Mask created the Johnny Gruesome Death Mask; I directed a music video based on the novel and CD starring Misty Mundae; and two-online comics, drawn by Kelly Forbes and Martin Blanco, won the NYC Horror Film Festival Best Comic Book Award. All of these products can be viewed/purchased at www.johnnygruesome.com.
JOHNNY GRUESOME is now available as a mass market Trade Paperback from Medallion Press; it is available in bookstores across the U.S. and Canada. Medallion is publishing PERSONAL DEMONS as a mass market paperback in October 2009, and my werewolf novel in 2010.
My filmmaking book, CHEAP SCARES! LOW BUDGET HORROR FILMMAKERS SHARE THEIR SECRETS, is now available from McFarland & Company.
Desmond Reddick of Dread Media says, "It's the best book on filmmaking I've ever read, head and shoulders above the rest."
Half of the book features my advice based on my experiences making my own films and working on I WAS A TEENAGE ZOMBIE, BRAIN DAMAGE, PLUTONIUM BABY, and WEST NEW YORK; the other half features in depth interviews with J.R. Bookwalter, Larry Fessenden, Roy Frumkes, Scooter McCrae, James Lorinz, Devi Snively, Justin Wingenfeld, Justin Channel, Brett Piper and Robert Craig Sabin, as well as entertainment attorney Jerry Gold, Unearthed Films president Stephen Biro, and Paige Davis, marketing executive for POP Cinema.
