HELL HOUSE

HELLO, SCARS READERS…

I’ve recently returned home from the Indiana set of HELL HOUSE, a new feature from Feathered Italian Films that is being directed by Jason (DEAD MOON RISING) Crowe, and thought I would give you a little sneak peek at this production. The film features a ton of people, including wrestler Al Snow, Daniel Emery Taylor (Return Of The Swamp Thing), and Leslie Rogers (Monstrosity)… just to name a few.

I play “The Ringmaster” in this film… the manager of Hell House. The movie, based on a true story, focuses on a family of misfits who have been wronged and seek vengeance on a town that allowed their family members to die.

HELL HOUSE promises lots of thrills, lots of kills, and lots of chills… look, I rhymed!! Ha ha ha! The film also sports some fine comedic moments, inside industry jokes, and subtle humor… especially in some of the scenes I saw being shot with Daniel Taylor. Donuts have never looked so good!!! (You’ll understand when you see the finished film)

This was my first time working with Feathered Italian Films, a partnership between Jason Crowe and TJ Moreschi, and I must say that it was a pleasure. Jason knew what he wanted to capture in the scenes and he worked well with his cast and crew, moving from one set up to the next quickly and efficiently.

I had a great time on the set of HELL HOUSE and can’t wait for the opportunity to work with this fine group of people again. The film still has quite a bit of production time left with a release date not yet set, but keep your eyes open for this one in the future.
