When you see me with a smile on my face, then you know I'm a mental case!

About Me

I am the writer & director of Chainsaw Sally. I also run and own Forbidden Pictures (formerly Planet X Entertainment) with my wife, April Monique Burril who plays Sally on the web and in the movies.
My new movie, The Good Sisters starring Debbie Rochon and April Burril, just wrapped this past May and is now in post production. It's very different from Sally, but I hope the same folks who loved Sally, are up for a totally different adventure. Our next film will either by Bad Kitty or The Darl'n Clementines. Once again, the only theme to my films seem to be powerful women. Perhaps I have a fetish I'm working out.... never sure. What comes out is what comes out. There is also a script and cast for Chainsaw Sally 2: Bloodkin which we are seeking funding for at this time. Our issue there is that we want to go up to a much larger budget. So, when we get what we need, we will make the film. Feel free to send a Friend Request to the MySpace site for The Good Sisters, which you can find in my top friends.
I've been a fan of Horror, Camp, and B-movies for as long as I can remember, but my life took a turn greatly when I stayed up too late one Friday night when I was in 6th grade and watched Alice Cooper's Welcome to My Nightmare on The Midnight Special. That bridged my two favorite things, horror and music.
I got into music at a very early age. For my second birthday I got a gift that would stay with me for the rest of my life, my first set of drums. Later I played in bands and at the age of 13 started playing out as a rock drummer... and I loved it. I never felt anything as euphoric as being on stage. That feeling would later take me to acting, which I did on stage for many years. That soon turned into writing for stage, and directing. I wound up actually writing four musicals that were produced on a small level with my partner James M. Taylor.
The love of acting, writing and directing took me to the path I am now on, which is movies. This is the best time I've had. I really have a wonderful life... great family, great friends, and I make a good living as an artist, and part time indi filmmaker. I just could not ask for more.

My Interests


BEWITCHING YOU SOON!
NOW ON SALE!-THE CHAINSAW SALLY ISSUE!


CLICK IMAGE TO BUY THE DVD I am fan of Horror movies, B-movies, Camp, Comedy and other sub-culture flicks,
but it all comes down to, I love movies that entertain me. I look for the same
things in a movie that I do a theme park... A good time and a fun ride.
I love music and the arts. I am a medical illustrator for NIH, but I also do
my own work.. mostly cartoons and pin up art.
As for music, I like a lot of different styles, and I play several instruments,
but no matter what I do in life, I will always be a drummer.

I'd like to meet:

I'd like to meet horror fans, horror filmmakers, actors, musicians, artists, etc... I also think I would have a lot to talk about with Henry Rollins.

See the Forbidden Pictures Zombie Short "S'mores" only as part of the Grave Yard Picture Show!

Music:

I love everything from classical to punk. The bands who's CD's wind up spinning in my player the most often are Alice Cooper, Foo Fighters, Rob Zombie, Ramones, David Bowie, XTC, Cheap Trick, Oingo Boingo, Aerosmith, Led Zepplin... you get the idea.
As of late I've really been into the "Rockabilly / Psychobilly / Gothabilly" Rock and Roll music.
Here are links to some of the bands who are on the Chainsaw Sally soundtrack. These are some great musicians with great sounds and great songs... check em out!
The Dead Elvi, The Alphabet Bombers, Calabrese , Piss Ant , The Screeches , Big John Bates , Grave Danger , and Brian Huddell
Click Play Video to watch "Silence" by Piss Ant
from the Chainsaw Sally soundtrack!

Movies:

My favorite movie is The Texas Chainsaw Massacre... the real one by Tobe Hooper... not that other remake shit. I like the movies of Herschell Gordon Lewis, John Waters, Quentin Tarantino, and way too many others to mention... but those are my most replayed films and or film makers.However, I think Mr. Zombie may be my new favorite writer/director.
Ricky O... th Story of Riki may well be the best movie ever made. Check it out!!!!

Television:

I watch Adult Swim, Venture Brothers, South Park, Family Guy, Futurama, Robot Chicken, Dexter, Firefly, 30 Rock, Penn & Tellers Bullshit!, Older shows I grew up with that I still love are: Batman, Star Trek (the original), H.R. Puff-n-Stuff, Night Gallery, Kolchak-The Night Stalker, The Addams Family, The Six Million Dollar Man, The Bionic Woman, And all of the older Looney Toons.

Books:

Books on film and film making. Other "how to" books. I also like books about the horror and exploitation genres... and of course, Dr. Suess.
"I do so like green eggs and ham,
Thank you, Thank you,
Sam I Am."

Heroes:

Alice Cooper, Herschell Gordon Lewis, John Waters....
but mostly my Dad, who is the strongest man I know.
