Updates and Tributes!

Well, with the Tall Man himself, Angus Scrimm, passing away at 89 this Sunday I figured I'd share the Silver Sphere video once again. The 1979 cult classic Phantasm, directed by Don Coscarelli, is a personal favorite of mine, a truly unique horror movie, and the soundtrack is just amazing. I'm pretty sure neither Don or Angus heard the track or saw the video, but I'm glad I and Cineploit managed to release this tribute while Angus was still alive.

With the (unexpected) passing of David Bowie, Videogram supporters Friday the 13th: The Film Franchise posted an article on the unusual ties Mr Bowie had with the iconic Friday the 13th movies.

The article - as well as the highly-recommened Crystal Lake Memories documentary - covers producer Frank Mancuso, Jr's fandom of Bowie's music, so much so that every production starting with Friday the 13th Part III was filmed under a Bowie song title alias.

One of my personal faves, Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives, was filmed as Aladdin Sane, and, for a bit of added trivia, I posted the above photo on my official Facebook page, clearly showing the LP pictured right during the girls' "Camp Blood" card game. Read the article here.

In other news, Videogram supporters Trash Mutant just published an all-new review of my Pre-Cert LP/CD.

Calling it a "satisfying listen from start to finish" and "the type of stuff that could make a good movie even better", they sum up my Cineploit debut as a "very stylish, well-produced and consistent album".

Read it in full here, make sure to give them a "like" on Facebook here and while you're at it, read the interview we did back in March of 2015 here.

While on the subject of my records, I recently got the exciting news that my Pre-Cert album is charting on HHV.de's Top 100 Film and Soundtrack Albums in Germany. Turns out that my Camp Blood 10" pic disc EP is as well, placing at #50, and charting at #25 on their Top 100 10" list as an added bonus! Again, vielen dank Deutschland!

To finish up this update I received my Vestron Video logo tribute t-shirt yesterday. I created a storefront over at Teepublic thanks to Joey at Camera Viscera, and having checked them out myself I can assure you they offer great quality t-shirts, both the fabric and prints!

So far I've got nine designs available, featuring tributes to various VHS distributors, as well as the brilliant Lunchmeat VHS Fanzine artwork courtesy LOUD COMIX' illustrator Jamie Vayda.

You can order yours here, but I've also added various print and color examples on my official Facebook page here. Check them out!

Pre-Cert album launch + video!

Happy Friday the 13th! Today marks the official release of the Pre-Cert LP and CD on Cineploit! To celebrate this, we've launched a Facebook event and you're all invited! Head on over here, make sure to RVSP, share it and invite your friends!

To celebrate even more, today sees the debut of my Silver Sphere video. A tribute to Don Coscarelli's cult classic Phantasm, the video is my recreation of the original 1979 trailer. You can check it out at the above mentioned Facebook event, or via my official YouTube channel here.

Voorhees Stomp!

Check it out! Last night saw the on-air debut of Voorhees Stomp off the coming Pre-Cert LP/CD (and the Camp Blood 10" EP) as Austria's ORF FM4 show House of Pain aired a special on Cineploit and its artists.

The language is Austrian, but the special begins at roughly 23:01:00 and Voorhees Stomp at roughly 23:12:55. The special also includes a taste from Zoltan's coming tribute to Don Coscarelli's 1979 classic Phantasm and more!

Available to stream for the next seven days (not too sure as my German isn't that great and there is a bit of a difference between that and Austrian), you can check it out here.
