Skull & Bones -- Controversial, nasty, and extreme. But bad? Judge for yourself!



Hey Everyone,

I write to talk about my new gay-themed, campy slasher "Skull &
Bones" (USA, 2007, 73 minutes). The tagline "A Tale of Homo-cidal
Mania" sums up my original and darkly humorous take on a traditional
genre: http://www.skullandbonesthemovie.com

Allow me to highlight other key features of the film:

"Skull & Bones" is controversial, nasty, and extreme.

Audience members at private New York screenings have described the
film as "twisted," "disturbing," and "subversive," but
also "hilarious" and "hot."

FilmThreat.com calls it "unnerving . . . fantasy wish-fulfillment
for truly disturbed homosexuals."

"Skull & Bones" receives 4 stars (out of 5) from The Coroner's
Report, which calls the film "a worthy introduction for writer and
director T.S. Slaughter," adding: "it features intelligence,
originality and creativity rarely seen in the overflowing amount of
horror films being released today. It also defies political
correctness in a time in which that can be a liability. Expect
nightmares for months to come!"

My influences include early Wes Craven and John Waters, Tobe Hooper,
Rob Zombie, and Italian horror (Argento, Bava, Fulci, Deodato,
Lenzi).

Multiple-award-winning Executive Editor Spencer Schilly also edited
RuPaul's "jaw-droppingly crude" new comedy Starrbooty, which has
made the rounds at NewFest, Frameline, Outfest, and PIGLFF, among
other gay film festivals.

All the music in the film is performed by the filmmakers and their
associates--and most of it is brand new. In fact, much of the music
was composed specifically for "Skull & Bones," notably the punk
songs you'll hear. Some, though, comes with permission from a new
Swedish Hip-hop CD.

The snakes and tarantula used in the final torture sequence are
real. The yellow snake with the red eyes is a ten-foot Albino
Burmese python; the others are eight-foot Brazilian carpet snakes
and a baby boa constrictor.

Sounds like you should let the weirdos, I mean, folks over in Horror Movies 101

Of course there's probably plenty of people here who would willingly watch your movie just to see if it really was the worst movie ever.
