There are perhaps no more prolific actresses out there than horror icon Debbie Rochon. She has a list of credits to her name over 230 movies long and it's always growing. But she recently completed filming her directorial debut, Model Hunger, and can't wait to unleash it on the world.
Model Hunger stars Lynn Lowry, Tiffany Shepis, Carmine Capobianco, Brian Fortune, Michael Thurber, Aurelio Voltaire, Suzi Lorraine, Babette Bombshell, Geri Horn and Jayne Caswell. Rochon also enlisted the talents of well-known composer Henry Manfredini (who did extensive work on the Friday the 13th series) and a crew that she described as the best of the best for creating Model Hunger.
With such an extensive acting career, one wonders why Rochon never directed in the past as she's been in the entertainment business for most of her adult life. What finally triggered that desire to get her working on the other side of the camera?...

We return with another edition of the Indie Spotlight, highlighting recent independent horror news sent our way. Today’s feature includes details on Sun Choke, starring Barbara Crampton, and the Monster Zombie Claymation short film:
Sun Choke Begins Production: “Janie (Hagan) is just trying to get well. As Janie recovers from a recent violent psychotic break, she’s subjected each day to a bizarre holistic health and wellness regimen designed, and enforced, by her lifelong nanny and caretaker, Irma (Crampton).

Since I’m a sucker for monster movies of all shapes and sizes, I’m always on the lookout for low-budget titles that have slipped between the cracks. Such is the case of director James Morgart’s 2009 endeavor “Won Ton Baby!”, a film that just arrived on home video this March. The production has a decidedly Frank Henelotter/”Basket Case” feel to it, right down the pint-sized homicidal twin. In short, the flick looks supremely awesome. An official synopsis is on the way: Over thirty years ago former brothel owner, Rachel “Madam” Won Ton, found herself involved with one of the wildest clients to ever enter her establishment. The drug-filled night leaves the Madam pregnant, but with no desire to let the child go, she soon quits the pandering business for a more “clean” life. Today, despite having converted her brothel into a fully functioning Chinese restaurant, the lore of...

Here at your official unofficial Won Ton Baby! head quarters we are keeping all of you horror fanatics up to date! Last week we posted the highly anticipated full trailer (Watch Here) and today we have lots of new images to share with y'all so check them out after the jump!
Synopsis:
From the twisted minds of scream queen Suzi Lorraine (Claang the Game and Holocaust, Holocaust) and first-time director James Morgart comes Won Ton Baby!, one of the most highly anticipated horror-comedy indie films of the year. A fully-developed package of drugs, sex, blood, gore, and even an Elvis impersonator add up to a special delivery of laughs as Debbie Rochon (Tromeo and Juliet and Nowhere Man) and Lou Martini, Jr. (The Sopranos and Spiker) battle it out with an umbilical cord-swinging cannibalistic fetus driven by an overindulgent and unsavory sexual appetite. Right from the moment of being carved...

Director James Morgart dropped us a line today to let us know that his really friggin' weird flick Won Ton Baby is two weeks away from wrapping post-production and will then be actively seeking distro! He was also kind enough (or sick enough, not sure which) to hook us up with more stills, the first one-sheet, and even a new teaser trailer.
The film, which stars Debbie Rochon, Suzie Lorraine, Lou Martini, Jr., and Gunnar Hansen, looks primed and ready to turn a few heads and stomachs.

In preparation for a lengthy piece entitled The Frighteningly Profeminist Trilogy: Stuart Gordon’s Portrayal of 1980s Women and Capitalism in Re-Animator, From Beyond, and Dolls, James Morgart sat down with the filmmaker for a one-on-one interview.
Fangoria is pleased to present that conversation for you below.
Fangoria: I’ve heard that while a student at the University of Wisconsin you formed Screw Theatre and performed a Peter Pan production that gained recognition and landed you in jail, I was wondering if you could elaborate on that a little bit?
Stuart Gordon (Sg): Yes, it was 1968 and the same year as the Democratic convention in Chicago where the riots broke out and the police beat up and tear-gassed the protesters outside the convention. My wife, Carolyn, and I were in the middle of that, and we got tear gassed and arrested. So following the incident, I decided that maybe...
