Although he had worked in Asian television since 1979, "Bloody" Billy Tang earned his nickname with the career-defining DR. LAMB (1992). Tang brought themes critical of the government, like overcrowding, corruption, and police brutality, into the over-the-top true crime bloodbath. bit.ly/4fN71ys

NEW EPISODE:
30 years ago, I made LET'S GET DEAD (1993), a zero-budget SOV movie, a story about a happy-go-lucky teen named Tom Schrenk (Dan Truman), who makes his childhood dreams of fame and glory come true...by murdering someone. Horror is the punk rock of cinema! bit.ly/3MPuQts

NEW EPISODE! bit.ly/3MPuQts

Horror is the Punk Rock of Cinema, and S.O.V. (shot on video) movies prove it!
Following the DIY ethos, regional horror movies sprung up everywhere and created a subculture.
Just like punk rock did!
I discuss my favorite SOV movies, and my own SOV film from 1993!

Yesterday was the cover reveal for author/poet Stephanie M. Wytovich's new book, ON THE SUBJECT OF BLACKBERRIES!
I was lucky enough to read an advanced copy, and it was a harrowing and emotionally intense experience.
