MOVIE PRODUCTION NEWS
SHOCK-O-RAMA’S
SHOCK-O-RAMA
Veteran cult horror director Brett
Piper’s third film for Shock-O-Rama cinema, titled – appropriately enough – Shock-O-Rama, has just gone into production
at locations throughout northern NJ and Orange County, NY. It will continue shooting through September
and October. The film’s cast is
comprised of “regular” ei performers including ‘B’ movie starlet Misty Mundae (Bite Me!, Screaming
Dead), Julian Wells (SpiderBabe,
Bite Me!), Rob Monkiewicz (Screaming Dead, Bite Me!), Caitlin Ross (Bite Me!, Sexy
Adventures of Van Helsing), and A.J. Khan (Screaming Dead, Lord of the G-Strings).
Shock-O-Rama is an
anthology horror film a la Creepshow,
and, like the Romero classic, influenced by influential horror comics from the
EC (“Tales from the Crypt,” “Vault of Horror”) and Warren (“Creepy,” “Eerie”)
camps. It’s safe to say Piper has a
certain affinity for these macabre and gruesome comics and they have infused
his work from the get-go.
Shock-O-Rama features three
comic book-esque fright flicks surrounded by a ghostly wrap-around story. In Zombie This!, a popular ‘B’ horror actress
(Misty Mundae) decides she’s through with the biz and heads out to an isolated
country mansion to unwind. Unfortunately
for her, life quickly imitates art as she is imposed upon by a particularly
bothersome and hungry ghoul. Mechanoid sports an alien life form, on the run
from intergalactic police, that crash-lands on Earth –
in a junkyard. The alien quickly
animates a huge robot out of various junked parts and sundry scrap metal items
to do battle with the dump’s pissed-off proprietor. The segment stars Caitlin Ross and Rob
Monkiewicz. Lonely is the Brain is…well…let’s just say it features
beautiful women being experimented on and threatened by an oversized, under
stimulated cranial organ and stars
Julian Wells and AJ Khan.
Piper’s first Shock-O-Rama Cinema
film was the haunted insane asylum shocker Screaming
Dead (March 2004), which has been the horror label’s most successful
release to date and has garnered a very good response from fans and critics
alike. The mutant-bugs-on-the-loose,
special fx spectacular Bite Me! – film #2 by Piper for
Shock-O-Rama – hits stores on October 12, and if the pre-release “buzz” is any
indication, it may be poised to eclipse Screaming
Dead’s popularity.

MISTY MUNDAE @ SUSPECT VIDEO
Popular Shock-O-Rama Cinema actress
Misty Mundae (Screaming Dead, Bite Me!) received the “guest of honor”
treatment on Saturday night, Aug. 28, from 7 – 9pm, at Suspect Video & Culture –
Toronto’s #1 video emporium known and loved by its devoted patrons for its
diverse eclecticism regarding all things film and related merchandise and
paraphernalia. Misty met fans and
veteran Suspect Video-goers and signed copies of her newest, Misty-approved DVD release, Voodoun Blues, which
showcases her titular, award-winning short horror film along with a host of
other cool and original extras.
Shock-O-Rama
had been contacted in early August by Suspect Video associate Robert Myre of
Middleman Media regarding Misty’s availability for an exclusive signing at
Suspect as a follow-up to her promotional appearance at the Rue Morgue
“Festival of Fear,” just a few blocks away.
(Previous Suspect guests have included Dario Argento, Peter Jackson and
Gunnar Hansen.)
Misty was thrilled at
the idea of meeting her Canadian fans at such a noted yet intimate and
idiosyncratic establishment, so there it was!
Misty, co-actress Erika Smith (Bite
Me!, Sexy Adventures of Van
Helsing), and the roving Shock-O-Rama film crew made their way to
Suspect at 7pm Saturday
night and spent the next couple hours having a super time with free copies of Voodoun Blues and Screaming Dead
(Misty’s first Shock-O-Rama film) being handed out to fans attending the
signing and a lucky raffle winner receiving a collection of Misty Mundae films.
A big Shock-O-Rama Cinema thanks to
Suspect Video and Culture owner Luis Ceriz, manager Daniel Hanna and Robert
Myre for opening up their fine store to Misty, Erika and the Shock-O gang and
for a fun, unique and exciting evening.
BRITISH TV VISITS
MISTY MUNDAE
A British Television Production
company behind the upcoming, controversial UK TV show, “Ban This Filth,”
recently visited Seduction Cinema studios in New Jersey to film “A
Day in the Life of Misty Mundae” segment. Ban This Filth” is a 30 min
comedy format and ‘magazine-style program’ featuring three proper, elderly
British pensioners - Barbara, Jill and Brenda - who are on a tirade against
Britain’s moral decline. Each week the
decency campaigners will tirelessly seek out all that is smutty, rude,
scandalous and sexually explicit on TV and in the movies, both at home and
abroad, and then show it to viewers with details of
where and when it can be found. As a warning, naturally! The ladies run their “Ban This Filth”
campaign from the chintz and comfort of Barbara’s country cottage. They are
delighted to have their own show, which they intend to use to highlight
evidence of the debauched state of the nation. The show is due to broadcast in
a late evening slot on Channel 4 in the autumn, at 11:00 pm
The British
production company initially contacted ei Cinema and Seduction Cinema for the
usage of clips from several SC films starring Misty Mundae, but once more
familiar with Misty and her devoted worldwide fan base, especially in the UK, they
elected to fly to the states and follow her for the day in an attempt to shed
light on this ‘B’ movie star’s sexy appeal and her dynamic career in horror and
erotica features. They filmed and interviewed Misty relaxing at home and
traipsing around town, going to school, being the subject of a sexy photo
shoot, and posing for the “Misty Mundae as SpiderBabe” resin figurine, among
other things. It was definitely a unique
and busy “day in the life” of Misty, beginning at 10am and continuing late into the
evening. But everyone involved in the
day’s exciting events had a great time, and the necessary footage was gathered,
so let’s hope Brenda, Barbara and Jill of “Ban this Filth” aren’t too bent out
of shape with Misty’s extraordinary popularity and career.
ei Cinema
hopes to use the final produced episode on an upcoming DVD release, so
stay tuned for further news on its availability.

BITE ME! AVAILABLE ON OCTOBER 12
Bite Me!, horror
auteur Brett Piper’s newest film for Shock-O-Rama Cinema, hits retailers’
shelves on October 12,
2004 (revised from Oct. 26)…just in time for the
Halloween season. Bite Me! is Piper’s second project for the horror label following on
the heels of his most accessible, popular and well-received film to date – the
March 2004 haunted insane asylum shocker, Screaming
Dead. Piper is currently in
production on his third fright flick for Shock-O-Rama Cinema, the
Creepshow-inspired anthology, Shock-O-Rama
(see this month’s news for more info on this film).
Bite Me! began shooting in northern New Jersey, in late Fall
2003, snow already on the ground, and continued through January 2004. Obsessions Night Club in Randolph, NJ, served as
the film’s main location – the “GoGosaurus” strip joint, so named because of
the life-sized concrete dinosaurs that adorn the property. The exciting climax of Bite Me! that pits man against slithering man-bug takes place within
the interior of one of the dinosaurs – a 100-foot-tall behemoth that looms over
the fictional establishment. These
scenes were shot at ei Cinema studios, in Butler, NJ, on a set
built to mimic the steel and mortar insides of the giant reptile.
Bite Me! features a talented ensemble of actors that ei and
Shock-O-Rama Cinema have regularly worked with including popular ‘B’ movie
actresses Misty Mundae (Screaming Dead)
and Julian Wells (Dr. Jekyll and Mistress
Hyde). Rob Monkiewicz (Screaming Dead, Arachnia),
Erika Smith (The Sexy Adventures of Van
Helsing), Caitlin Ross, John Fedele, Sylvianne Chebance and Michael
R. Thomas round out the cast.
Director Piper gave each of them free rein to create his or her own
unique character, and the results are truly inspired with fun performances all
around that really deliver the tongue-in-cheek humor that is essential to the
story.
Following
production, Brett Piper spent the next five months in post-production shooting
all of the painstaking stop-motion animation fx armed
with an arsenal of fist-sized mutant bugs and a man-bug hybrid that he sculpted
and built. Bugs skittering across
floors; bugs gorging themselves on blood; bugs crashing through doors; bugs
devouring one another; an eight foot tall “man-sect” duking it out with the
hero: each of these physical fx were then digitally matted into the “live”
action of the story so that these creepy-crawly critters and the climax’s
human-sized monstrosity could seamlessly interact with their human prey. The miniature fx that turned children’s toy
dinosaurs into giant statues were also created at this time, as was the
mayhem-filled special-fx finale that sees the go-go club going up-in-flames,
the towering dino come crashing down, and a gargantuan bug rising out of the
conflagration! Piper has created what he
considers his finest, most entertaining film to date and a truly inspired addition
to a resumé of films that includes such notable cult releases as Nymphoid Barbarian in a Dinosaur Hell, They Bite, Drainiac, Psyclops,
Arachnia and Screaming Dead.
The Bite Me! Collector’s Edition DVD will
include lots of cool extras including:
-Mini documentary of Bite Me!’s premiere screening
and promotions at the 2004 Rue Morgue Magazine “Festival of Fear”

MISTY MUNDAE SHORT FILM GETS DVD TREATMENT
Shock-O-Rama Cinema is proud to
present Voodoun Blues – a unique and
fascinating short-play DVD (DVD EP)
featuring the titular silent short film written and directed by ‘B’ movie
starlet Misty Mundae (Bite Me!, Screaming Dead, SpiderBabe). The
Voodoun Blues short was conceived, created and directed by Misty Mundae during
her Fall 2003 semester at college, and it won the
“Best Short Film Award” at her school’s student short film competition.
The 5-minute avant-garde horror
film, shot on 16mm b&w stock and inspired by the works of Czech animation
legend Jan Svankmajer, features an evil black-magic practitioner placing a
voodoo doll hex upon her ex-lover (Misty Mundae). The film contains provocative and nightmarish
imagery, much of it achieved via stop-motion and soft-focus cinematography,
courtesy of cameraman Joe Miller. The
original soundtrack music produced specifically for Voodoun Blues combined with the film’s potent visuals give it
an atmosphere, texture and effect all its own.
The Voodoun Blues DVD project was
green-lighted by Misty Mundae, who had complete creative input into its overall
design, presentation and spotlighted extras.
So, besides Misty’s exquisite short, the DVD also
contains surrealistic shorts by fellow filmmakers Joe Miller (Sour Milk, which features Misty) and Katie
Bordeaux (Night of the Whorror Hoppers).
Other exciting extras include a brand new 2004 interview with Misty Mundae
about the genesis and making of Voodoun Blues, a mini documentary detailing the
studio recording of the Voodoun Blues soundtrack music (composed by Tim
McBride) at Grisly Labs in Jersey City, NJ, trailers for recent and upcoming
films starring Misty Mundae, and a full-color, 2-sided collectible Voodoun
Blues postcard.
The 50-minute Voodoun Blues DVD will be a
Limited and Numbered Edition release of 5,000, and it will be offered for the
first time ever at the 2004 “Rue Morgue Magazine Festival of Fear,” August
27-29, in Toronto, Ontario (check out www.rue-morgue.com/html/content/fof.html)
where Misty will be promoting Shock-O-Rama Cinema’s October 12 release of Bite Me!
Fans will also be able to get a copy by logging onto www.Shock-O-Rama.com, www.MistyMundae.com, www.SeductionCinema.com, www.amazon.com or via Movies Unlimited, where
Voodoun Blues will be initially available.
Voodoun Blues will likely see a retail release later in 2004 at special
pricing under $9.99.
It’s 100% Misty approved.
(A special thanks to ei Cinema
senior editor Brian McNulty for his excellent, expeditious and creative work on
the Voodoun Blues DVD)

JOSEPH SARNO’S CLASSIC SEQUEL
Look for Retro-Seduction Cinema’s
newest release – Seduction of Inga
– to hit stores on September 28 as a “2-Disc Limited & Numbered Collector’s
Edition DVD.”
Seduction of Inga was erotic
cinema legend Joseph Sarno’s follow-up to his 1967 landmark classic Inga, which starred beautiful teenage
Swedish sensation Marie Liljedahl as a young woman on the verge of sexual
discovery. Seduction of Inga was
produced in 1969 by Vernon Becker, in Stockholm, in color (Inga was shot in b&w) and it brought
back not only writer/director Sarno, who maintained the rights to the
characters and the story, but Miss Liljedahl, too, who reprised her famous role
as the love-crossed, sex-starved “Inga.”
On his audio commentary, producer Becker talks about bumping into Sarno,
quite accidentally, on a street in Stockholm, stepping
into a café, and crafting a contract to shoot an Inga sequel on a cocktail napkin.
Sarno was the most important sexploitation
filmmaker of his generation. He began
writing and directing films in the early 1960s (Sin in the Suburbs brought him his initial acclaim) and
continued until the mid 1970s at which time he had amassed a film resume that
included over 100 films. The Seduction of Inga
(a.ka.a. Inga II, Inga and Greta) eventually hit U.S. theaters in
1972, released by Jerry Gross’ Cinemation, and it did very solid box-office,
though it did not achieve the spectacular success of Inga.
Retro-Seduction Cinema’s 2-Disc DVD release of The Seduction of Inga is a Sarno fan and
erotic cinema aficionado’s dream come true.
It includes:
-
R rated version of The Seduction of
Inga
-
Alternate unrated “grindhouse”
version of The Seduction of Inga
-
New, original interview/documentary,
“Innocence Lost,” featuring Marie Liljedahl, Joseph Sarno and Peggy
Steffans-Sarno
-
Bonus feature film: Sarno’s shocking
“lost film” The Indelicate Balance
-
The Indelicate
Balance audio commentary by Peggy Steffans-Sarno and Gary Huggins
-
The Seduction of Inga mini doc
featuring audio commentary by producer Vernon Becker
-
“Inga’s Theme” music video performed
