Thrilled to see something I first created back in 2023 resurrected by Media Meltdown! Can’t wait to attend the RETURN of SF Underground Short Film Festival tonight at the 4 Star- this time as a patron instead of producer, filmmaker, or performer! mediameltdown.tv/sfusff @mediameltdown.bsky.social

Just rewatched Dressed to Kill.....are you aware that according to Warren's STD paperwork that sometime this week marks the 45 anniversary of him scoring his gonorrhea? Random or intentional that you chose this film for this week?

We had a Terror Vault first this weekend and it’s one for the record books. Guests have screamed, cried, and even peed their pants before, but this time, a man literally lost control in HEXED. He loudly confessed he shit himself and begged to be escorted to the restroom. As a producer, I'm proud.
