About Me

Hello myspacers! I'm Tom Steeber, a thirty-something dad. In addition I am Cymbal Monkey Theater, formerly A Brain Stuffed Into A Squirtgun Productions. A special effects artist who (used to) make short movies with Marshmallow Peeps and does work for movies. I'm currently involved in the production of Ho Ho Homicidal and Twist of the Vampire and my previous movie credit is Troma's Pot Zombies. Below you will see the goriest Peeps movie ever made, Bloodshed. But if you go to youtube.com and you look me up by my username, "drweir" you can watch many more of my Peeps creations, including Peeps Xanadu, Peeps Halloween, Peeps Halloween II, Peep Kong, and much more.Bloodshed

And now enjoy Peeps Jaws, courtesy of youtube.

This is a short video I made. I took a model of the ship I own and shot it on greenscreen, which I then superimposed over a background of Neptune space.

Paul Anderson, of course, who directed Event Horizon along with many other greats.Todd Solondz, director of Welcome to the Dollhouse and Happiness. I love his weird and dark sense of humor.Jan Svankmajer, the Czech director who makes use of surreal stop motion in his shorts and feature length movies.Georgi Palfi, the Hungarian director who puzzled me with Hukkle and then revolted me with Taxidermia.Rob Zombie. Come on. The guy makes kick ass movies.Brad Anderson, the soul behind the weirdness of Session 9 and The Machinist.John Waters, the reigning king of trash. The world would be a much drabber place without movies like Pink Flamingos, Desperate Living, and Polyester.and J.T. Petty who directing list is sadly very small. This guy gave me the hauntingly memorable Soft For Digging which is one of my all time favorite movies.And now For Peep Wars!
