Last year I reviewed director Joe Badon’s fabulous film The God Inside My Ear (review can be found here). At the end of that review I said “Badon is onto something here, and I hope he continues to create this type of unsettling cinematic fare.” It would appear as if that is the case.
A Kickstarter campaign has been launched to help fund Badon’s newest flick, Sister Tempest. This film sounds absolutely insane, but in a good way. Badon described the film to me as a “SUPER weirdo film with aliens, godzilla-sized astronauts, a space council, a giant floating head, a cosmic camera crew, nazis, cannibalism and vampires all wrapped inside of an art-house drama!”
Sounds good to me! Please check out their Kickstarter page and consider supporting Joe as he makes his next feature film. There are some great perks, some even having the opportunity to get two films for the price of one! Donations of $20 not only get a copy of Sister Tempest, but also get a copy of The God Inside My Ear. Let’s get this thing funded!
Ah now for the one thing everyone loathes...writing about themselves! Well for starters, my name is Chuck, and I am a south Jersey transplant living in Amish country. I’ve been a horror fan since 5th grade, about 16 years ago. My horror fandom started when I got my hands on a copy of Jay Anson’s novel The Amityville Horror. The book terrified me, and I knew I just had to watch the movie. An older cousin of mine had a copy of it, and that was the genesis of my obsession with the genre. Over the years I have expressed my horror fandom in many ways. Since about 2005 I have been regularly attending horror conventions. These have been great ways to amass collectibles, movies, and to meet some of my favorite celebrities. My best friend Mike and I used to run our own horror blog years ago, and we also dabbled in script writing. I am looking forward to going back to writing about horror, something I’ve always loved. When I’m not working (I work at PNC Bank), my non-horror interests are studying theology and economics, watching Japanese tokusatsu, and doing play-by-play commentary for professional wrestling. I’m also a member of the Barbershop Harmony Society and singing in a Barbershop quartet. Oh, and I’m probably the biggest fan of the Golden Girls you’ll ever meet. My top 5 horror flicks (definitely subject to change):
1. Cannibal Holocaust (1980)
2. Basket Case (1982)
3. Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974)
4. The Beyond (1981)
5. Dawn of the Dead (1978)
