New “Shock Rock Movie” Clip Features Footage Of World Record Suspension

Following the announcement of the new project Shock Rock Movie, directed by Lord Zane and Dagon Destroyer of Society 1, a teaser has been released, giving a short glimpse into what’s to come. The clip never features before-seen footage of Wayne Static commenting on Lord Zane’s world record for longest body suspension. In the new film, Dagon and Zane will be interviewing various artists as well as discussing their own contributions to the genre that they became heavily involved with when Zane began body suspension during the band performances in 2002. “It was just one of those surreal days. I’m hanging six hours with fours hooks breaking the previous record held by Cris Angel and Wayne is there for most of the day. We’re talking, taking pictures, he’s giving interviews about Static X and his thoughts about me. It’s amazing that we found this footage and how perfectly it fits into the film” said Zane The second month of filming

Award-winning director Matt “The Lord” Zane and co-director Dagon Destroyer have begun working on a new documentary exploring the shock rock genre.

Childhood Ruined Part 1: Do You Know The Muffin Man?

Nursery rhymes were a big part of our childhood, but have you ever wondered where they came from? We will be exploring one in this episode of our new multi-part series “Childhood Ruined”. Today we will expose the truth behind “The Muffin Man.” Do [or “Oh, do”] you know the muffin man, The muffin man, the muffin man. Do you know the muffin man, Who lives on Drury Lane? Yes [or “Oh, yes”], I know the muffin man, The muffin man, the muffin man, Yes, I know the muffin man, Who lives on Drury Lane? Like most nursery rhymes, the song sounds innocent enough, but its dark creation was actually designed as a warning. Of course, the version we know now has been watered down. The rhyme was born as a reminder to stay away from “The Muffin Man,” a serial killer who actually lived on Drury Lane. Originating in the early 1600s, the song is actually about “The Drury

An Interview With Michael Lombardi Director & Star Of ‘The Retaliators’

Ahead of its premiere this September, I sat down with co-director and star Michael Lombardi to discuss his killer horror film The Retaliators, which left me impressed as hell. Lambardi, who made a name for himself in movies like Last Knights and series such as “Rescue Me,” plays the lead in The Retaliators about “an upstanding pastor who uncovers a dark and twisted underworld as he searches for answers surrounding his daughter’s brutal murder. Kelli: You not only direct the film but also star in it, will you tell us a little bit about who John is? Michael: “Yeah, so, um, John Bishop, he’s a small town pastor. The film starts in a sort of Spielbergian-Joe Dante Gremlin way. He’s beloved by his community. He’s a man of morals, a man of the cloth. And one of the things that the writers had put in the script, which really was a shoo-in for me. He’s a rock star in this
