About Me


In honor of the (rapidly-dwindling) population of Banion's Cross, NM (the fictional town where the movie takes place) the first 67 orders will receive the signed and numbered limited edition, autographed by GUNNAR "LEATHERFACE" Hansen and several other members of the cast/crew!


After receiving several less-than-appealing offers for distribution of GIMME SKELTER, we've decided to take matters into our own hands and distribute the movie ourselves. We need YOUR HELP to succeed -- if you love horror movies and independent filmmaking, PLEASE ORDER YOUR COPY of the Special Edition DVD TODAY! The DVD will ship in mid-January and will include writer/director commentary, video blogs, a still gallery, and more. The first 67 orders will receive the SIGNED AND NUMBERED LIMITED EDITION!


REVIEW QUOTES:

“GIMME SKELTER is more than just another indie slasher flick. It is a glorious Go-Go frug of a meditation on moral hypocrisy, the cult of personality and the true meaning of ‘The Manson Family Christmas Special’… an injection of fresh re-agent into a normally stale genre… this is the film fan’s answer to the unfortunate flood of ‘torture porn’ films the studios are cramming down our throats. GIMME SKELTER has thrills, chills, and slaughterhouse kills without the ridiculously over-the-top gore.” — Axel Howerton, EyeCraveDVD.com

“Fantastic jokes, some great casting and an ample amount of nudity to satisfy any horror fan.” — Goon, Horror-Movies.ca

“GIMME SKELTER is an amazingly depraved gem of a horror movie.” — Steve Smith, Skullring.org
