Hello Folks,
First I would like to mention that our issue #5 cover contest will be closing
very soon. We received some great entries that will all be posted on a special
page in about a week.I'd also like to officially announce that I recently
started shooting the ultimate docudrama called Horror Business. It's a candid
look into the lives
of filmmakers, Make-up artists, actors, and merchants that are working their
fingers to the bone to stay afloat in the horror biz. The main segments will
consist of exclusive On set visits and profiles of Dante Tomaselli,
Mark Borchardt(American Movie), Ron Atkins(Necromaniac), Edwin Neal(The
Texas Chainsaw Massacre), Just to name a few. The main segments will be tied
together by behind the scenes footage and interviews with some of the most
beloved names in the world of horror including H.G lewis (Blood Feast), Rob
Zombie (House Of 1000 Corpses), William Lustig (Maniac), George Romero,
John Russo, Larry Fessenden(Habit,Wendigo), Eli Roth director the upcoming
(Cabin Fever) and many many more. I'll keep you posted on its progress
The Are You Going? Movie project will roll in September 2003 as planned. I
have been working on rewrites. I'm trying to get the script just right.
We don't want to deliver just another run of the mill slasher filck, that
would be way too easy and an insult to your intelligence. We will explore
new
possibilities for the horror film, and although Are You Going? is an unconventional
horror story about human problems and human monsters, every frame will be
delivered in "true horror" film fashion. Make no
mistake, Are You Going? will be a macabre and gritty horror film.
More to Come...
Stay evil and never give up.

News as of July 29, 2002
Hello ladies and gentlemen... First of all, I'd like to thank all the folks
who have been writing in with their thoughts on the AYG magazine and movie
project. To our faithful and patient subscribers: The new issue will be finished
soon. I'm just trying to give you the best possible magazine and I'm only
one man. You won't be disappointed with issue #4; it far exceeds the quality
of the other issues. It will be ready by mid-to-late
August. For non-subscribers: You can pre-order issue #4 now.
The AYG movie project has been going though an evolution. I have been rewriting
the screenplay and considering some new cast members. I have
been visiting some new locations as well. I have had many meetings with potential
investors, and they have all been wrong for the project. I will not make this
movie just for the sake of making it. I will do it right, and if
it takes another year of pre-production, so be it.
I am indeed preparing to shoot a promotional short for the film, and that
will be able to be seen exclusively on our website probably by late fall.
You will get a small taste of what this film is all about.Also I'm going to
be at the Fangoria Convention in Pasadena, California
with Mr. Edwin Neal (Texas Chainsaw Massacre) so stop by and visit us!!!!!!!!!!
You will hear from me again very soon.¦
Stay Evil,
Christopher
