Pauly Shore Tells Us About Making His Crossover To Horror With ‘Sin City Psycho’ And More

The name Pauly Shore is one you will all recognize. While you know him best as a comedian, Shore is revealing his darker side. Yesterday he released his most recent short film, titled Sin City Psycho where he plays the role of a psychotic killer. Not only does Shore star, but he also wrote, directed and produced the film. Even though we know Shore for comedic films like Bio-Dome, Son in Law, and Encino Man, he pulls off the role of a killer quite well. We happen to have the full short film here for you to see. I sat down for a conversation with Pauly Shore about Sin City Psycho, his past projects, and what the future might hold. Horror Fuel: “It’s nice to see you in the role of a dramatic character.” Pauly Shore: “When I first started acting, before all my comedy, did all dramatic stuff. It’s been inside of me. My mom died, I went through

(Watch) Pauly Shore Stars As A Serial Killer In ‘Sin City Psycho’

See Pauly Shore in a role like never before, as a psychotic serial killer in his new short psychological thriller Sin City Psycho which he also wrote, directed, and produced as a proof of concept. Known for his roles in films like Encino Man, Bio-Dome, and Son in Law, Shore stars as an unhinged killer, toying with his next victim played by Sharon Gardner. I’ve always wanted to play a psychopath, what actor doesn’t? I’ve been known for comedy my entire life, so it was really fun to dig in and do something unexpected. I came up with this premise a while ago; I’ve always loved Dexter, American Psycho, and Silence of the Lambs,” Shore stated. I thought filming something in Las Vegas regarding an unfaithful spouse made sense because people go to Vegas all the time and always say when they do bad things, ‘whatever happens in Vegas stays in Vegas,’ that’s not the case for my character Donovan,

Body Horror ‘Pop’ Is Ready To Gross You Out on Prime

Watching zit popping videos is a thing these days, however gross it may be. Pop, the new bizarre body horror from Unmanned and director J. Spencer takes zits to a whole new level. Renee, a stoned slacker is obsessed with popping her zits — till the zits start popping back! It satirizes L.A. culture, delves into body-image issues, tosses in some demonic puss tentacles and 1970s-style sci-fi sexploitation for good measure in the movie starring Chloe Farnworth, Travis Coles, and Kasia Szarek. The female-led flick premiered on Film Shortage yesterday and will be available to stream on Amazon Prime starting on October 19th and on YouTube on the 31st.

Watch: It’s Alive Films Unleashes Short Horror Film ‘Replicator’

Michigan based company It’s Alive Films has released their film Replicator for free on YouTube which you can watch below. The short satirical horror film clocks in at 34 minutes and 52 seconds, and originally debuted at Sunrise 45 Film Festival in 2017, later playing at Spooky Empire’s International Horror Film Festival. I wrote Replicator after reading about yet another remake being made of a beloved film, and finally snapping. I imagined the creators and studio execs being incredibly unoriginal, and thought of how useless they must be outside of a film studio. Then I thought about how scary it would actually be if one of these producers was put into the real world, with no actual skills other than remaking what already works just fine. The rest fell into place after that.” The film’s title, as well as its tagline ‘Anything can be remade’, serves to hint at the concept that the film tackles: a power hungry film producer

Short Film Review: Parlour Tricks (2018)

Family members gather in a Victorian parlour to attend a seance conducted to communicate with their deceased aunt…in order to determine how she wanted her possessions and money distributed as she left no will. As the seance occurs, these vultures…err, loving relatives encounter a spirit close to them, but not exactly the one they intended on… Written and Directed by legendary horror biz Scream Queen and Burlesque performer Tristan Risk (American Mary), Parlour Tricks is one hell of a campy, over-the-top, piece of creepy comedy! Starring a fantastically game cast including: Gidget Gravedigger (Caravan of Creeps, Dark Entries podcast, Abracadaver Cabaret), Emma Eldritch (Abracadaver Cabaret, Dark Entries podcast, Osculum Infame), Tyler Nichols (Howard Lovecraft and the Undersea Kingdom, 28 Geeks Later), and Sean Covernton (Princess Blasteroid, TheBasketball Game, Trick or Treat:The Halloween Party), and featuring wonderfully moody black and white cinematography by Jordan Barnes-Crouse (which creates a nice contrast to the ridiculous action happening on screen) this is an impressive
