Tom Savini’s make-up effects work is what made me interested in learning how to do effects. Then my love for horror films like The Evil Dead, Return of the Living Dead and The Howling made me want to try making my own movies. Just watching was no longer enough. I had to take part some how.

  2. Nice, I have met and spoken with Brian numerous times at conventions on the East Coast some years back and actually own the original release of Bone Sickness as well as Fetus. Brian is insanely nice and what he does with his budgets and his passion for horror is nothing short of incredible. Really happy to see him show up here, Aaron.
