Being an Indie film maker and a die hard slasher movie fan I have a unique relationship to not only the movies I love but the fans as well. I have the opportunity to reach out to the fan base and talk to you all because of my position as a slasher film maker because we all want basically the same thing better slasher films, right ? You as fans and me as a writer / director of the genre we can work together to make great slasher movies that scare us again.
I started Wicked Carnival Productions back in 2013 to do just that. I write ll the scripts with a little help nw and then from Chris Fyfe if I get stuck or if I need help with a twist. So far I have directed Sins of Man : Rise of Mortis and I will be back in the directors chair for Sins of Man II : Vengeance and most likely Sins of Man III because Sins of Man is my baby, I may or may not direct after the trilogy I'm not sure yet.
These blogs are my way of trying to reach as many fans as I can, I enjoy talking to you all and I always learn something from most conversations I have with you folks . I often wonder and will ask you what are some things you want me to talk about on a blog or even on a video ? that's one of the reasons blogs are so difficult for me to write because I often run out of topics to discuss.
I don't watch all genres of horror and I admit that openly because Ghost stories and Zombies don't do anything for me. I do watch Psychological Thrillers, Slashers are my favorite, I watch Monster movies but even today's version of Werewolves and Vampires is complete trash . (Thanks Twilight for killing that for me)
I have thought about writing a Vampire movie to knock that Twilight Trash out of Horror fans memories with that said I know Twilight wasn't a horror movie series or a a horror book series but it could've been much better on film. and left a sour taste in fans mouths who loved Dracula and The Wolfman . Twilight really damaged those two ICONIC monsters weather Twilight fans want to admit that or not it's true.
I have many ideas for scripts that I would love to bring to life. I want to make Slashers Movies Great Again and will do that with Sins of Man II : Vengeance and with the next few films on the Wicked Carnival Productions schedule . I was thinking that I might post the release schedule for the next couple of years but the way things change I don't want to have to come back and move things around when things get bumped up or down on the schedule ...
I think I have a unique relationship with fans because I am a fan like all of you, I think that gives me a unique perspective on how to write and make films for slasher fans by a slasher fan . When I'm writing I try very hard to think about what a fan would like to see in a scene and even thought I struggle to go over the edge with th blood and violence I know that there are fans that love the gore and blood splatter and I will try to give you all of that stuff that you all enjoy with Vengeance.
I know that Mortis will be more blood thirsty, more violent and more hell bent on killing as many people as possible ! Like I have said previously Rise of Mortis was about establishing the character and his motives Vengeance will be more about the evolution of the character and will push the envelope on how sick Mortis is and how far Mortis is willing to go to get the revenge that Mortis didn't get in Rise of Mortis .
