Some very sad news: the man behind Leatherface in The Texas Chain Saw Massacre has died.
Gunnar Hansen, who originated the Leatherface role in the horror classic The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, died Saturday of pancreatic cancer at his home in Maine. The Icelandic-born actor was 68.
The news was announced by Hansen's agent, Mike Eisenstadt, who called Leatherface "one of the most iconic evil figures in the history of cinema."
The 1974 film The Texas Chain Saw Massacre was directed and co-written by Tobe Hooper. To horror fans, Leatherface was the cannibalistic hero, protecting family from a group of trespassing teenagers with nothing but a chainsaw.
Hanson was born in Reykjavik, Iceland. He moved to Maine with his family at the age of five. He worked as a computer operator after finishing school and began theatre work during college. Hanson studied English and Scandinavian Studies at the University of Texas.

Motel Hell is available now on Blu-ray. That information alone should be enough to send horror fans shrieking into the streets to party until the wee hours of the morning. And we here all want to get into the festivities as well.
To celebrate the release of Motel Hell on Blu-ray, we've compiled our Top 9 Chilling Chainsaw Kills. Of course this is in reference to the iconic chainsaw scene in the climax of the film. There was something simply unforgettable about Rory Calhoun wielding a ridiculously long chainsaw while wearing a pig head like a Halloween mask. Classic!
But before we get to our top horrific movie chainsaw kills, we have some honorable mentions to share with you. We've got to go way back to find some of the earliest on-screen chainsaw kills. We came up with Dark of the Sun (1968) and The Wizard of Gore (1970) for two of the first buzzsaw butcherings.

Horror fans don't grant new performers legendary status on a regular basis. We cling to our heroes like treasures and limit inclusion into the upper echelon of the genre to a very select few. But people do manage to break through and win our undying respect and admiration, and Bill Oberst, Jr., is doing just that right now.
After appearing in the Academy Award-winning short film Take This Lollipop (if, for some ungodly reason, you haven't seen it yet, absolutely check it out Asap!), Oberst's popularity exploded; and he now has over 100 films to his credit, most within the past five years. This whirlwind of energy and excitement sat down with Dread Central recently to discuss his career, his fears and his upcoming films.

Many people, myself included, hate hospitals. They're generally scary places where people die any second of the day. Then there's that smell. The emergency room chaos. Oh, and the vengeful spirits that prowl the halls don't help much either!
Below you'll find the latest artwork for The Hospital written by Jim O'Rear and Daniel Emery Taylor. Taylor also co-directs the film with Tommy Golden. Check out the official The Hospital Facebook page for more.
John Dugan (The Texas Chainsaw Massacre) and April Burril (Chainsaw Sally) star.
Synopsis
Old St. Leopold’s Hospital has many urban legends surrounding it, but the residents of Bridgeport all agree on one thing: tortured souls roam its abandoned halls. The mystery proves too much for a pretty young student who decides to investigate for her senior class project. Unfortunately, she does not find ghosts. She, instead, finds Stanley… serial rapist, murderer, and psychopath. As the...

After months of speculating, head-scratching, hand-wringing and a teaser trailer that evoked more questions than it answered, the secret is finally out. Just what is the Soska sisters' new film American Mary all about?
The answer: underground, extreme body modification.
Dread Central was recently lucky enough to sit down with the Twisted Twins, Jen and Sylvia Soska, and discuss American Mary. To describe the experience, interviewing the Soskas is like trying to hug a beehive…incredibly intense energy, tireless activity and the sense that even though you're dealing with multiple entities, there's an overall feeling of single-mindedness and unity. The Soskas are an incredible breath of fresh air, and after the success of their unique first film, Dead Hooker in a Trunk, the ladies are looking to solidify their place in the horror community. Judging by early response, American Mary is just the film to do it for them.

Hey there, Fiends! The sinister summer is upon us, and another excellent Dungeon show is in the can! Just wanted fans of the show to know a few things. The first involves the name of the show. When I began this venture, I placed my name on the show to get our names out there.
The truth is, though, everything we do belongs to All Of You. So, from this day forward, my name will be stripped from every title. We will be The Dungeon of Deadly Delights. It's your Dungeon. We do this for the fans. Second, I am in talks to make The Dungeon a television show! More on that when it becomes available.
So last week on the radio show, we spoke to my friend and show sponsor F/X legend Robert Kurtzman. Bob spoke about some history on certain films like Night of the Creeps and Phantasm 2.

The Chainsaw Sally Show recently aired the final episode of their eagerly anticipated web series' Season 2. The stars of the production were gracious enough to sit down with Dread Central and talk about the adventures of creating this indie production.
Director and co-star of The Chainsaw Sally Show Season 2, JimmyO Burril, joined us with the three beautiful stars of the show, April Burril, Debbie Rochon and Nicolette LeFaye.
JimmyO (who directs and also stars as uber-villain Angel Eyes) talked about just how it felt to wrap season 2 of the show without knowing if we would ever see Sally again. "Our crew is tiny," JimmyO said. "It's eight people, including us (himself and April). And we took Sally up to the conclusion we wanted. It’s a satisfying ending, but it leaves it open for more. If we go back to Sally, I think I want to take her to a city.

Through a feature film and an on-line series that was picked up for DVD distribution by Troma last year, Chainsaw Sally mastermind JimmyO Burril and his muse, star and mascot April Monique Burril have made waves by making many messes on screen, using social networking, endless outreach and, most importantly, an emphasis on fandom and family. It has worked enough that season two of The Chainsaw Sally Show is revving up (listen…hear the sound of that chain belt grinding metal and smell the gasoline vapors?) starting today, to give devotees more of the seriocomic sex and bloodletting they adore.

She's baaaack. Fans of the psychotic, sexy siren with a saw will be thrilled to know that April Monique Burril and friends are ready to launch The Chainsaw Sally Show Season 2. Sally and all her friends are back, with more blood-letting, boobs and brutality than ever before. Believe the tagline... "Twice the Blood, Half the Clothes".
Series creator/writer/director JimmyO Burril says viewers will see a Sally they recognize, but perhaps a bit evolved. "While still a sitcom, this season is a little darker, a little grittier, with no rules except our own to guide us," JimmyO said. This can certainly be seen immediately in the first episode of Season 2 as Sally gets frisky with a plaything in a scene that evolves into a realistic bloodbath with a 70's-esque feel. "There are some new developments this season and a handful of unexpected twists and turns," added JimmyO. The biggest...

Little Big Boy is, to say the least, a film like no other. It tells the story of acclaimed horror film director Jimmy Duncan, famous for his hot temper aswell as his very exploitative movies. Having witnessed the murder of his mother at the age of seven, Duncan grows up at an orphanage and as an adult works his way up in the movie industry.
Caught up in the downward spiral of his own success surrounded by movie reviewers who refuse to acknowledge his obvious talent, starlet wannabes with absolutely no talent, producers with little patience and people who will do anything and exploit anyone to become famous in an industry where you can count on no-one, we follow Jimmy while working on his fourth feature film “Death Stalker”, which quickly turns into a descent into complete and utter madness as his leading lady leaves the production halfway through the shooting.

The acting. I’d love to be excited for a horror film that has neither remake, reboot, nor sequel associated with it, unfortunately, despite its promising premise; the teaser itself is less than enticing. Sure the one-sheet boasts great reviews from a few of the more notable horror sites, and writer/director Mike Flanagan (Still Life, Ghosts of Hamilton Street, Chainsaw Sally, Oculus) says “When we had our first cast reading, we agreed that the movie functions as a serious character drama, a murder mystery, and a horror film. It's like The Shining meets You Can Count on Me.”With no definitive release date from FallBack Plan Productions, I won’t be holding my breath and I suggest you don’t either.Synopsis: Absentia tells the story of a woman whose husband has been missing for seven years, and she must now face the grim realities of declaring him "dead in absentia.

Nicolette Le Faye is a Maryland based actress whose out to make a name for herself in the indie horror film scene while staying true to her Maryland roots and doing things her way, even if isn't the most popular choice. She stole scenes in Chris Lamartina's President's Day, a gory fun little film in which a killer in an Abraham Lincoln costume kills off those running for student body president. Nicolette was so convincing as the school bi*ch, you would think she was one in real life! She is also featured in The Chainsaw Sally Show directed by Jimmyo Burril and co-starring the legendary Debbie Rochon. We hope that Nicolette continues to take risks, push boundaries and never confirms to someone else's vision of what they think she should be. We had the chance to ask her a few questions about her work. Here is what Nicolette Le Faye had to say.

April Monique Burril has come up with a very cool, intimidating, unique and downright sexy alter-ego that goes by the name of Chainsaw Sally. April is gearing up for Season 2 of the Chainsaw Sally Show and has several film projects going on, some of which I got to talk to her about. Make no mistake, behind her intimidating alter-persona she is a sweetheart and she's probably going to get me for saying this. I got to hangout with April at Fright Night Film Fest and I came out alive, smiling and sweating a lot (inside joke these for all who attended) Check out my latest "Versus" below to see what all we had to chat about.
Brian S- Hi April, your not in Sally mode are you?
April- Sally mode? Is that a problem? We're not going to have a problem here.... are we? Are We??
Brian S- Please put down the chainsaw!

Recently, I had the opportunity to rap a bit with JimmyO and April Monique Burril, the Maryland-based founders of Forbidden Pictures and creaters of the Chainsaw Sally franchise. The first series of the splatter sitcom based on their 2004 movie has been set for DVD release by Troma in September, with a second season in the works. The duo also recently self-released their latest feature The Good Sisters, co-starring Debbie Rochon.

Nvf Magazine founder David Byron recently interviewed a bunch of women (including Pretty/Scary's editor Heidi Martinuzzi) for a book on chicks in horror movies called Queens of Scream: The New Blood.
Also interviewed were Brenna Lee Roth (Killer Biker Chicks, Grind House Glory), Scarlet Salem (Killer Biker Chicks), Bianca Barnett (Albino Farm), Nicole Kruex (aka Nikki Homicide K, Zen: Hunter), Rachel Grubb (13 Hours in a Warehouse), Seregon O’Dassey (Ghost Watcher 2, False Face), Evie Effects, April Monique Burril (Chainsaw Sally), and Monique Dupree (Bachelor Party in the Bungalow of the Damned) plus a special guest appearance by former Hammer Films starlet Ingrid Pitt, whose portrayal of Countess Dracula gave a new meaning to the term Scream Queen long before it became popular for future generations of horror film fans.
The book will be out in July 2009 from BearManor Media

Indie filmmaker JimmyO Burril sent along a new bloody image from The Chainsaw Sally Show, the on-line series spinoff of his 2004 feature, which we last told you about here. He also gave us an update on when fans will be able to view the sanguinary sitcom, starring April Monique Burril in the title role.
“The show will start the first week of September and will run one episode a week for 11 weeks at www.chainsawsallyshow.com,” Burril tells us. “For now, people can follow the Sally Show v-blogs [see the latest one below] on YouTube or at our Forbidden Pictures website. We’re shooting through June, and we have much more killing to do!”...

There have been westerns almost as long as the medium of cinema has existed. The first ever-narrative film, Edward Porter’s 1903 twelve-minute milestone The Great Train Robbery was a western. In terms of sheer cinematic proliferation, the western simply stands unmatched and there is a very good and very simple reason – they’re bloody cheap. A couple of guys, a couple of horses and some wide-open space and you’ve essentially got yourself a western. But just because you can do something doesn't necessarily mean you should nor that there is value in doing that thing.
With that in mind we arrive at Come Hell or High Water, writer-director Wayne Shipley’s Dv, no-budget, horse opera where, at first glance, a Maryland amateur dramatics society comes together to chart the vast outreaches of incomprehensible thespian inadequacy. Coming across like some bizarre hybrid between a civil war reenactment, a wild west...

Fango got an update recently from independent filmmaker JimmyO Burril that he’s about to head into production on The Chainsaw Sally Show. The on-line spinoff of his 2004 feature, originally announced last year, will once again star his wife April Monique Burril in the title role.
“We finally, after the essential indie setbacks, go into production on the Sally show this month,” he tells us. “I’m reasonably sure there is nothing else quite like this around…a slasher written as a sitcom, including studio audience response—applause and laughter—for the kills, and of course ‘ooooohs’ and ‘ahhhhhs’ for any sexy moments. Should be fun!”
Gore pioneer Herschell Gordon Lewis (who had a small role in the Chainsaw Sally movie) is official presenter of the series, which will air on-line at an official website that has yet to open. Episode collections will also eventually be offered on DVD with...

Indie director Todd Langseth gave Fango the scoop on his upcoming production Stingy Jack. The movie, about a small town called Emerson and its prohibition on Halloween, begins in 1957 when Esther Fowler witnesses her young son, Stevie, mowed down while trick-or-treating.
Plagued by this tragedy, plus odd sightings and strange occurrences, the townsfolk pressure their mayor into exacting a ban on All Hallow’s Eve and its festivities. For 40 years, the rule remains in effect and the town of Emerson stays at peace. That is, until David, his wife Kaitlyn and their 9-year-old son Jack take up residence and refuse to let the holiday go. But between the off-kilter inhabitants, a looming presence taking over David and the ever-increasing number of “shadow people,” it becomes clear to the family that a curse hovers over the town.
