Time for Another Blood Bath

Wednesday, February 3rd, 2010

Pretty Scary Blood Bath Film FestivalI’m happy to announce there’s going to be another blood bath in Texas. First, there was that messy chainsaw massacre back in the ’70s, which people are still talking about. Then last year, there was the Texas Blood Bath Festival. Now, in honor of the Women in Horror Recognition Month, DOA Blood Bath Entertainment and Damnation Books are presenting the Pretty Scary Blood Bath Film Festival from 11 am to 6 pm on Saturday, February 27, 2010, at the Studio Movie Grill in Addison, Texas, right outside of Dallas. The fest, sponsored in part by Heidi Martinuzzi of Pretty-Scary.net, will showcase a selection of indie horror films created by women.

Both short and feature-length flicks will be presented, including The Mis-Adventures of McT & A by Kimberly Amato, Amy Lyndon and Michelle Tomlinson, Death in Charge by Devi Snively, Family Demons by Ursula Dabrowsky, and Dead Hooker in a Trunk by Jen and Sylvia Soska. Also featured will be the world premiere of The Retelling by Emily Hagins.

Eve Blaack, owner and editor of Hacker’s Source magazine, will serve as Mistress of Ceremonies. I have it on good authority that both Ms. Martinuzzi and Ms. Tomlinson will be in attendance as well. If you’re cool, you’ll be there too. I know I will. Tickets are $15 and are available HERE. If you need a place to stay, try the Hyatt in Addison.

I don’t know what it is about the Lone Star state that attracts all this blood, but this event definitely makes me Texas Proud. And that whole Leatherface thing? That’s pretty cool too.

The Mis-Adventures of McT & A

Monday, November 9th, 2009

The Mis-Adventures of McT & AIn the ever-changing environment that is today’s show business industry, you can’t wait for opportunities to present themselves. You have to make things happen. And with the rise of the internet as a valid delivery system for entertainment, this is becoming much easier to do. Web series are becoming a viable option and a legitimate way for artists to make a name for themselves. With this in mind, Michelle Tomlinson (“McT”) and Kimberly Amato (“A”), two of today’s finest indie horror talents, have come together to amuse and entertain us with a brand-new project called The Mis-Adventures of McT & A. Slammed & Damned has been fortunate enough to score an exclusive look at the first episode of this exciting new venture which, according to Tomlinson, brings “new meaning to T & A.”

The Mis-Adventures of McT & A is what happens when you put two crazy people together and say “go!” The concept is pretty cool: You, the viewing public, write in with requests for what you’d like to see them do, and they do it. Simple as that. Episode 1 is divided into three distinct sections of madness. “The Annie & Ronnie Saga” is a hilarious little piece, inspired by horror icon Kevin Tenney, starring two fashion dolls lost in the woods. “What the Hell Is Erdega” is a peek at Tomlinson’s super-secret language, Erdega, and what can be done with it when combined with copious amounts of alcohol. The final section is a bit of lunacy called “Cemetery Lights.” Acting guru Amy Lyndon directed the first two segments, and Tomlinson and Amato co-directed the third.

The result of this team-up is a lot of fun to watch. It’s clear these two women are having a blast, and that translates into an extremely entertaining few minutes for the audience. These ladies have recently each formed a production company—Amato’s Little Crown Productions and Tomlinson’s Mighty McT Productions—and The Mis-Adventures of McT & A is a joint production. There are several other exciting new projects in the works from this team, including Touch, a feature film starring Tomlinson as a private detective facing the most challenging case of her career.
