Blood Fare (Press Release)





SALT LAKE CITY, UT. – On September 27, 2011, J.A. Steel, the award winning female writer and director, announces the completion of the digital coloring of her fourth feature film “Blood Fare.” The up-and-coming colorist, Jeff Pantaleo, completed the digital coloring on the newly developed Scratch workflow at Warner Bros. Motion Picture Imaging (MPI). 

“Blood Fare” is a Civil War ghost story with a modern twist, by J.A. Steel and Co-Producer Christian K. Koch.  It is the tale of Corporal Henry Trout (S. Edward Meek - “Wild Stallion”), who in 1861 fought valiantly in a forgotten skirmish after the first battle of Bull Run.  150 years later, he will come face to face with his descendants as the battle for blood continues on a haunted battlefield.  Tyler (Brandi Lynn Anderson from the upcoming Syfy original series “ZEROS”) and her brother Chad (Adrian West), Henry's fifth generation grandchildren, will challenge the very legend of Charon the Ferryman, as the lines between the living and the dead become blurred.

Gil Gerard, internationally recognized for his lead role as Captain William ‘Buck’ Rogers in the science fiction movie and television series “Buck Rogers in the 25th Century”, plays the character of Professor Meade, mentor to the protagonist Tyler, in “Blood Fare”.  Gerard was recently seen in the Syfy original movie “Ghost Town”.  International action star, Kim Sonderholm, most recently seen in the newly released “Little Big Boy,” appears alongside Gerard as Professor Malick.

In addition to Gerard and Sonderholm, several other amazingly talented actresses and actors have joined the “Blood Fare” cast, including Michelle Wolff (“NCIS”, “Chicago Hope”, “ER”, and “Providence”), Savannah Ostler (“Vengeance”), Bridget McManus (“Wanted”), Scott Beringer (“Ocean’s Eleven” and “21”), Brenden Whitney, Alison Trouse, Thomas J. Post, Antonio Lexerot and April Knight.  Marcus Intheam, Salt Lake City star radio DJ of “Marcus in the Morning” on Z-ROCK 94.9 and “The Real L Word Live Lounge” host Natalie M. Garcia add live broadcast talent.

Chris Hanson, one of the most recognized special makeup effects artists of Hollywood, joined the crew of “Blood Fare” as Special Makeup Effects Supervisor.  He demonstrated his unique creativity in “Hellboy”, “Underworld”, “Men in Black”, “Men in Black 2”, “The Green Mile”, “The X-Files”, “The Faculty”, “Spawn” and many other productions. 

Steel rounds out her crew with Director of Photography Michael B. Call (“127 Hours”), Co-Producer Christian M. Koch, who has worked with Steel on her first 3 films, and Executive Producer Jessica M. Bair.

“Blood Fare” is a green, sustainable film production, and Eco/Sustainable Production Executive Micheline Birkhead was on set to ensure the project meets green certification requirements.

Shining in Crimson: Empire of Blood Book One



Set in a post apocalyptic religiously-demented American Empire, the city of Las Vegas is no longer a city of sin. Now called Necropolis, it is a city that eats sin. The vampires of Necropolis wait patiently for the Empire's weekly drop off of guilty Penitents; sinners and criminals full of fresh blood.

Hank Evans is one of those Penitents and he would gladly let the vampires take every drop of his blood if it weren’t for one detail: Toby. Toby is Hank’s only son. Now, Hank must do whatever it takes to escape the city of the dead and save his son from an Empire as bloodthirsty as the vampires it uses to keep its people in line. 

"A big-scale vampire thriller that changes the rules."--Scott Nicholson, They Hunger

Reviews:

“Amazingly brilliant first novel. Absolutely loved it. The only suckage is having to wait for book two”


“I have to be fair. I read this book when it was still being developed and crafted. It was near completion but it was still a draft copy.

Thank being said I am really eager to read the completed work. The draft was of such amazing quality and work.

Let's put it this way. I don't much care for Vampire stories, but this story is so much more then blood sucking pretty boys that all the tweens swoon over. These are characters are real people, the vampires have a story to tell, and there are great intertwining plots in this story. I have already pre-ordered my copy of this book.

If am person who doesn't much care for vampire books can enjoy this, I am certain diehard fans of the genre will enjoy this as well. It is my opinion that you pre-order this one as well. When it arrives you will love it.”

“Loved this so much I am re-reading it again to make sure I did not miss a thing. For a first time novel Robert S. Wilson created a masterpiece. His weaving of story lines, creation of characters the the telling of back stories work wonderfully together culminated in a refreshingly new vampire story. This is one story I wanted to go on and on.

What impressed me was the new version of the vampire genre. After reading hundreds of stories of novels this is truly an original.

Brilliant work. Cannot wait for the next one.”

Monstermatt's Bad Monster Jokes Vol. 1 (Press Release)





Book publisher Pill Hill Press, is pleased to announce an official scheduled release for "Monstermatt's Bad Monster Jokes Vol.1", written by Monstermatt Patterson, illustrated by Kyle Kaczmarczyk, with an introduction by Joe Moe and an afterword by Pat Tantalo, for their non-fiction imprint, WestNeb Books.

WestNeb Books acquired the book from it's previous publisher, during a brief and successful run, with both critics and readers alike. Some changes have been made to the book, including some added content.

"Monstermatt's Bad Monster Jokes Vol.1" ISBN
978-1617060946 is a self described collection of over 400 bad jokes, rancid rhymes, putrid puns, and sophomoric song parodies, with illustrations, focused on horror films, monsters, sci-fi, superheroes, and some pop culture, for good measure.

According to Pill Hill Press and WestNeb Books editor Jessy Marie Roberts, September 21st, 2011 is the scheduled release for Volume 1. Just in time for Halloween! Volumes 2 and 3 are currently being written, with no release dates yet, for the follow up editions.

Monstermatt has written over one thousand bad monsterjokes, and this first volume gives you a sizeable introduction to the humor that resides within. The marriage of the jokes to Kyle Kaczmarczyk's insightful illustrations, are what has fans waiting for more!

What can readers expect?
Bad jokes like:

Does the 666 on Damien Thorne's scalp mean he's the Devil?

No, it's his "Credit Score"!


Why was The Wolfman mad at his H.M.O.?

They wouldn't pay for his "flea dip"!


Where does H.P. Lovecraft like to shop?

Bed, Bath & "From Beyond"!


What coffee drink does The Phantom of the Opera like?

La lalalalalala, latte!


Sophomoric song parody lyrics, like:

"My Zombie Valentine"

"Intestines"

"Monsters in the Night"

And many, many, more...


According to duo, the book is acting as an introduction to the horror genre for newcomers, while entertaining those already familiar with it. Jokes and illustrations about Frankenstein and Dracula, to jokes about "The Manitou" and "Basket Case”, even "The Human Centipede”, are turning many a newcomer into a horror buff. The duo has heard feedback from readers that watched "Dead Snow”, and some other notable films, due to the book.

The jokes and song parodies have been used on horror podcasts like:

RueMorgue Radio
Screamwave Podcast
RottingFlesh Radio
Tomb TV with Tomb Dragomir

And more. This has helped to build a growing following of Maniacs (fans).

As the Emcee of Buffalo MonsterFest 2010,Monstermatt got a chance to field test his brand of humor-a mixture of Mad Magazine/Famous Monsters/Benny Hill/Borscht Belt Comedy, finding that what produced groans from the audience, felt delicious to him!
With Kaczmarczyk at the drawing pad, illustrating sight gags, he knew they had something "ghoul" going on, that could entertain, enlighten, and grow on the reader.

Some notable names, from the horror genre weigh in on the book:

"I wrote this blurb so Matt would stop the Pun-ishment."

-Rodrigo Gudino, Rue Morgue Magazine


"I tried very hard to find anything remotely amusing or anything that might induce at least a chuckle from this 'Joke Book' but was unsuccessful. In fact it actually 'scared' me how corny it is and that is hard to do to me! At least you have the guts. Congrats!"


-Tony Moran, The Original Michael Myers (Halloween, 1979)


"You can open any page of this book, read one line, and feel intense pain throughout your entire body. I’m in awe."

-Joe Bob Briggs, Drive-In Critic & Host of MonsterVision


Here's what the Monsters themselves, are saying about the book.

"Monstermatt's jokes are Good! Bad Good!

--Frankenstein's Monster


"Monstermatt's jokes are a pain in the neck!”

--Dracula


Kyle Kaczmarczyk's illustrations had me howling!!

--The Wolfman


"As soon as we opened the book, we knew we'd have a double headache"!

--The Thing with Two Heads


Critics also had something to say about the book:
“I laughed, I groaned, I shook my head in disbelief! I highly recommend this book!”

The Monster Librarian


“The book is purely enjoyable."

Sonar 4 Landing Dock Reviews.


“You’ll go back to the beginning and start reading it again! A very enjoyable read by two rising stars!”



"Monstermatt delivers countless yuk-yuk monster jokes, while bringing horror goodies (and music), through the grue."

The Horror Fiction Review


A perfect book for the Halloween season, Monster lover, horror curious and more!
The book will be available at major online book retailers. For more information, and updates, or to keep up with Kyle, Monstermatt and PillHillPress, follow them on Twitter at:
