This year, Big Gay Horror Fan has been wrapped up in nostalgia like Boris Karloff in mummy rags, so it seems only appropriate that there would be a Silent Night, Deadly Night re-imagining, Silent Night, sweeping down on our blood stained chimneys on November 30th (2012)!

The producers seem to be aiming this at the crowd that loved 2009’s My Bloody Valentine (some of the scenes in this trailer seem aped after that popular flick – and that is not a judgement, babies, just a quirky observation) and to that end re-make queen Jaime King (the afore mentioned My Bloody Valentine, Mother’s Day) is headlining this one.

Malcolm McDowall, Lisa Marie and up and coming scream princess Jessica Cameron (Camel Spiders, Mr. Hush) are, also, featured here – making good little boys and girls (can’t I be both?!?) like Big Gay Horror Fan very happy indeed!

So, gleefully, until the next time – Big Gay Horror Fan (http://www.facebook.com/#!/BigGayHorrorFan)!!!

Sometimes Big Gay Horror Fan and close compatriots, Apocalyptic Kitten and Deadly Johnson, long for the days when they were held in the sway of that maniacal group of snake worshipping, dildo making alcoholics. Life just seemed so much easier back then. But, then reality takes hold as yet another exploitation filled DVD screener arrives in the mail to teach us that life is so much better now.

Such is the case with writer-director Ward Roberts’ crazed and inventive Dust Up. Here, Roberts takes us into the world of drug kingpin and desert messiah Buzz (a rapturously committed Jeremiah Burkett). Under financial pressure from a crooked cop, Buzz demands immediate payment from addicted, blissed out follower, Herman (charming Travis Betz). In the time it takes to whip out your thumb for a hand job, Herman involves his frustrated wife, Ella, and two helpful strangers in one hell of a mess. Fully succumbing to paranoid grandeur, Buzz descends on Herman and Ella’s home with his devoted, vengeance loving followers and soon blood and body parts dot the barren landscape.

As a director, Roberts works with detailed energy here, fully exposing the treachery that surrounds hierarchies of every level – whether it is the warmongering powers-that-be, local authority figures or mentors of free spirited expressiveness. He, also, does not shy away from male nudity or expressing the often homosexual desires of Buzz – a treat for open minded, ready to romp viewers.

Most importantly, he navigates fine performances from his devoted cast. Aaron Gaffney’s brings a calm intensity to his Jack, Ella’s most ardent savior. As Sheriff Haggler, horror regular Ezra Buzzington (The Hills Have Eyes, Mirrors) shines with comedic depth and sharp eyed terror fans are sure to delight in the sexy presence of Victoria DeMare (Werewolf in a Women’s Prison, Killjoy 3) as an ecstatic participant at Buzz’s swinging soirees. As (Native American obsessed) Mo, Devin Barry radiates with sweet delight, as well.

Meanwhile, Amber Benson (Buffy, Supernatural, Intermedio) shines with frustrated warmth and sassy regret as the put upon yet determined Ella. Her loyal fan base is sure to delight in her layered work, here.

Dust Up will be released Tuesday, November 13th, 2012 from Breaking Glass Pictures – www.breakingglasspictures.com.

The way that Big Gay Horror Fan grumbles and groans upon arising in the morning, you’d think I was 100 years old. Well, feisty actress Carla Laemmle is 103 years old and as beautiful and vital as ever. Talk about being put to shame!

This iconic horror maven, whose most recent credit is this year’s Mansion of Blood, appeared as a ballerina in 1925’s classic silent version of The Phantom of the Opera and spoke the first lines, as Renfield’s traveling companion in 1931’s legendary Dracula
.
Carla’s family is trying to raise money to get her a well deserved Star on Hollywood’s Walk of Fame. The grand Ms. Laemmle is actually signing reproduced, vintage photographs of herself to help with the fundraising efforts. The cost is a bit stiff ($75 a pop), but the effort is worthy and this will be a piece of Old Hollywood of your very own!

So, drive yourself batty (in the best way possible) and check out Laemmle’s legacy at http://www.laemmle.us/!

Big Gay Horror Fan and his constant companions, Apocalyptic Kitten and Deadly Johnson, believe they wear many caps. Day laborers, lovers of the macabre, pretty cute catches when you’ve had enough cocktails – mixed with hemlock, of course!

Naturally, though, these accomplishments pale next to the grandiosity of actor Jim Bailey, best known for his characterizations of such divas as Barbra Streisand, Peggy Lee and Phyllis Diller.

Over the years, the eclectic Bailey has also appeared in such exploitation gems as Vultures, The Surrogate and Penitentiary III. Lucky writer Paul Freitag-Fey recently spoke to Bailey about his drive-in acting experiences in a charming Daily Grindhouse interview –

Big Gay Horror Fan’s head is always exploding with too many thoughts. So, it’s always nice when something is a no brainer. Like – getting behind a movie with the tagline “The Gayest Zombie Scene Ever Filmed!” Yep, Jason Crowe (Dead Moon Rising, The Legacy) and crew are unleashing The Zombie Movie upon the world and I, for one, couldn’t be happier!

Check out the official first trailer, here:

Big Gay Horror Fan has never had a reason to decorate his sleep dusted t-shirts with baubles – until this ‘capital’ idea!

Genre goddess Kimberly Beck finally has her official fan page – http://www.facebook.com/kimberlybeckfans and I for one couldn’t be more excited. What is most spectacular about this development is that Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter fans now have a chance to learn about Beck’s other prestigious credits. From old Hollywood (Alfred Hitchcock’s Marnie) to classic 80’s guest spots (TJ Hooker, Buck Rogers, Eight is Enough, Hunter) to soap operas (Peyton Place, Capital, General Hospital)to more mainstream modern flicks(Roller Boogie, Maid to Order, The Big Blue), Beck has had an incredibly creative and eclectic career. This page surely promises to highlight all those amazing achievements.

So, cinch up that oversized dress shirt into a skirt and get hacking away at (once again) http://www.facebook.com/kimberlybeckfans!

Oh, the things that chew at Big Gay Horror Fan’s mind at all hours of the day! Worries, worries, angst – and worries!! Fortunately, creative director Gregory Mandry brought a new meaning to the term Gnaw with his 2008 English country cannibal epic of the same title!

Now Mandry and the crew at Big Yellow Feet Productions are unleashing a horror comedy upon the world about the goofy, fright filled feats of a pair of paranormal investigators, played by British comedy duo, Dan Wright and Steve Marsh, called I-SPI!

To set your sights on helping the creation of I-SPI be sure to visit http://www.indiegogo.com/I-SPIthemovie and/or the official website for the movie, www.i-spimovie.com.

Big Gay Horror Fan may wield a vibrant pen or two, but when there is a Zombie Massacre on the uprise, you are going to want the ever busy, totally eclectic Tara Cardinal on your side. For this powerful actress, very convincingly, swings around a ninja sword in the trailer for this upcoming undead rising flick (which features a very awesome Mary Shelley looking creature and another that looks like he just emerged from a one on one with He-Man)!

Check it and I’m sure you will agree!:

Until the next time – SWEET love and pink GRUE, Big Gay Horror Fan!!!

“Josh cut off his penis because something came out of my vagina!” – Katrina Bowden, “Shelby” – Piranha 3DD

Just like the Andrea True Connection Big Gay Horror Fan wants “More, More, More” –when it comes to male nudity in his horror films, that is. Granted, 2010’s Piranha 3D featured Jerry O’Connell running around in a ridiculously tiny red Speedo and that fangy, fishy flick , also, highlights the very personal dismemberment of that buff actor’s cheesy pornographer character (including some obviously fake mangled manhood shots) – but there was truly no male butt shaking action to be found ANYWHERE in that popular summer outing. <

Thankfully, director John Gulager (Feast) could sense just what horror fans like me wanted and remedied that situation in his full out, (Ving Rhames cameoing) sequel Piranha 3DD.

Not only do we get some comic nudity from eclectic plus size actor Adrian Martinez (Kick Ass), but hunky Jean-Luc Bilodeau’s (Trick or Treat) Josh gives us some murky rump action in a skinny dipping sequence and then delivers the full-on posterior goods in this ferocious fin flick’s O’Connell homage.

Yep, Bilodeau finds out taking a heroine’s virginity can really be a bloody experience when one of the vicious title creatures emerges from her insides and clamps down on his ‘Don Johnson’ during some noisy coital action. Hopping out of the sack, Bilodeau’s Josh does away with the chomping fiend, the only way he knows how – with knife thrusting vengeance, allowing us a nice view of his bare backside. Horrible for him – but oh so fun for us!

Big Gay Horror Fan’s current greatest scare is the guy with ‘ji-normous’ muscles at the gym whom bumps around, breathing crazy, with a winter cap covering most of his face. He kind of makes me pee a little. Which is not a good thing. (In this circumstance, at the very least!)

Still, I can see why some people’s greatest fear would be a crazily reanimated two year old with a scalpel. So, I generously applaud writer-director-producer team John Compopiano and Justin White for their upcoming documentary Unearthed and Untold: The Path to Pet Sematary. Covering the film version (and it’s long reaching impact) of one of Stephen King’s most graphic tales, these inventive guys have procured interviews with many of the creative forces behind this seminal film (Dale Midkiff – call me!) – making for one of the most highly anticipated horror events of the coming year.
