A huge “thanks!” to everyone who came out to see us last weekend at San Francisco Comic Con! John and I loved talking to all of you about Charley & Humphrey, hearing about your memories of the characters from TV and your excitement regarding our upcoming comic series! We’re honored that Pat McCormick gave us the green light to bring his characters to a new generation! We had a blast and hope to see everyone at SFCC 2018! 

WOW! I forgot to post it here, but if you’ve kept up with my creative endeavors you may know that I wrote a screenplay adaptation of my graphic novel HEART OF A CORPSE. Well, I decided to enter it into the Academy’s Nicholl Fellowships in Screenwriting competition, and out of over 7,000 scripts entered, it made it through to the Quarterfinals – that’s the top 5%! Can’t wait to see if it makes the next round, but the Quarterfinals are a huge honor nonetheless! I’ll keep everyone updated on the progress when the screenplays that make the next round are announced!

BLOODMANIA, the final film of The Godfather of Gore, Herschell Gordon Lewis, is now available to buy, rent and stream on Amazon! I even wrote the third segment, The Night Hag! You’ve got to watch it now.

 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE                                                                                                Herschell Gordon Lewis’ final film to be distributed by Monarch Films Inc.

Diabolique Films, and HGB Entertainment Ltd, are pleased to announce the signing of an exclusive worldwide distribution deal with Monarch Films Inc. for their horror anthology, “Herschell Gordon Lewis’ BloodMania.”

“Herschell Gordon Lewis’ BloodMania” is the final film by legendary horror director Lewis, affectionately known as the “Godfather of Gore”, who passed away in late 2016, after a career in film spanning over fifty years.

“I am very excited to add Mr. Lewis’ final film to the quality package of new films we will be premiering at MIP 2017. We have already heard from many of our key TV and DVD buyers worldwide expressing their interest in licensing “BloodMania” for their territories. We will be making “BloodMania” available to horror fans worldwide via Amazon Prime and dozens of additional VOD, PPV, and streaming platforms later this spring”.

Art Skopinsky

President, Monarch Films

Diabolique Films and HGB Entertainment Vice President and Producer James Saito says, “It is extremely gratifying to work with Monarch Films to bring Herschell’s final film to his loyal international fan base, and to introduce his work to a whole new generation of horror fans.”

The horror anthology film consists of four tales – each representing a different genre of classic horror cinema. Lewis himself described the film as, “… a perfect combination of horror and comedy”.

Mr. Lewis wrote and directed two segments. The other two were directed by Melanie Reinboldt and Kevin Littlelight. The anthology stars Roger LeBlanc, Stuart Bentley, Sonia Deleo and Caroline Buzanko.

A release date for “Herschell Gordon Lewis’ BloodMania” will be announced shortly.
