"The Wicked" Teaser Trailer, Horror Film By Sal Ciavarello
..
Profound Images is the company behind Sal Ciavarello's 2001 Indie Horror Film: HPE: HARDCORE POISONED EYES.
My first feature length horror film was "HPE: HARDCORE POISONED EYES" (2001)
Inspired by the films of Dario Argento and George A. Romero at an early age. I was bit by the horror film bug very early in life.
