Writing Credentials
GoreZone Magazine:
I wrote for them for about a year. What was cool about that magazine was that they were (at the time) an almost totally European magazine and I was the only American writer. I had my own column entitled The Cold Room where I highlighted not only the projects I was working on, but I brought press releases, DVD Release info and other exclusive little tidbits about other independent horror films being made. I also did a few feature articles, including a history of the entire Howling series, as well as my version as an American of their top 20 Video Nasties. I also did a few DVD reviews for them.
Dark Disc Magazine:
I also wrote for a magazine that only had one release called Dark Disc. I did two interviews in that edition. The first was with Christine Parker, Director and Producer of The Forever Dead. The second interview was with Bill Mulligan, whom had acted, produced, and did the make-up FX with me on set for The Forever
Dead.
