A Little Dead Podcast

This is their honest to goodness promise to you...


Full frontal nerdity anyone? Yeah, we thought so.

Let us introduce you (or hopefully reintroduce you) to A Little Dead Podcast. If you like things wicked awesome, cool, and, yes, over flowing with geeky goodness, then Darryl L. Pierce is your kind of guy. He is exactly the kind of person we Twisted Twins are proud to have as a supporter and a friend. We had the distinct pleasure of chatting with him and discussing our beloved and demented baby, DEAD HOOKER IN A TRUNK.

You can check out the interview HERE. And when you have a hankering to get your geek on, look no further.

A Little Dead Podcast is your definitive source for full frontal nerdity.

Check it out. And you're welcome.

Excelsior~!! ;)

Slammed & Damned unleashes Twisted Twins Week

"It's the most disturbing feel-good movie I've ever seen. Funny, violent, gory, unsettling, gratuitous, excessive, and kick-ass, the flick the Soska twins have delivered is the unlikely combination of utterly derivative and wholly original. At various points, I was amazed, amused, appalled, grossed out, disgusted, delighted, confused and restless - but never bored. It's nice to know that women can make a film that is as bizarre and fucked up as anything made by a male. it also disproves the conception that all Canadians are nice and normal." ~Theron Neel, theronneel.com

Beautiful words from very talented writer and reviewer Theron Neel. Look familiar? These words have graced the "MAYHEM TRAILER" for DEAD HOOKER IN A TRUNK. As you can see, it was hard to pick only a few words.

Theron Neel, of theronneel.com, Slammed & Damned: The Modern Day Horror Review, was kind enough to review the first cut of DHIAT. As many indie film makers out there well know, getting your film seen is no easy task. We were so happy that Theron wanted to see the film and were absolutely floored when the review came out. Twisted Twins Week is an incredible honor that leaves us speechless and honored and overwhelmed.

Treat yourselves to a little perusal of the site, HERE. And stay tuned for the week of reveals including a review of the slick and sexy new cut of DEAD HOOKER IN A TRUNK premiering in LA at Bleedfest with the MAYHEM TRAILER premiering at Viscera.

Stay tuned to theronneel.com for Twisted Twins week and check in on our blog as we travel via wicked road trip down to LA!!

Bloodiest of best, friends!

There's a DEAD HOOKER IN A TRUNK in the Horror News...

"Dead Hooker in a Trunk is a must see for low budget horror fans, and another powerful venture for women working hard within the horror genre. Even though horror movies tend to have a male preying on young women, seeing the women getting their share of killing sprees is both empowering and refreshing in this entertaining bloodfest."~Joanna Rose, horrornews.net

We were absolutely floored this morning to find a beautifully and thoughtfully written review of our DEAD HOOKER IN A TRUNK from Joanna Rose of Horror News. If you haven't checked out Horror News, take our advice and don't admit that little tidbit in front of your die hard horror fans. Horror News is the world's #1 horror news site and updated daily. If you want to be in the know, check it out and expand your twisted minds. It's radcore in every sense of the word and, yes, "radcore" is a word and I won't be convinced otherwise.

Check out the brilliant and insightful review of the film HERE.

Come for the Dead Hookers and stay for the overwhelming awesome. A very special thanks to Joanna Rose for the wickedly delicious review!

Bloody best,
Jen and Sylv

Big Daddy gets him some Dead Hooker In A Trunk

If you don't know, you SHOULD know that Big Daddy brings it. Hey, get your mind outta the gutter, I'm not talking about Ron Jeremy. I'm talking about Big Daddy Horror Reviews. Treat yourself to a little looky poo at their site HERE. Not that you need more convincing, but our dear friend, long time supporter of our Dead Hooker (and potentially dead hookers everywhere), and very talented reviewer, Brandon Sites, has treated us to a gore~geous review on the film.

"Group of misfit friends discover the body of a dead hooker after a night of hard partying and encounter all kinds of crazed, demented characters as they try to get rid of the body.

Ambitious directorial debut from the Soska sisters is a grindhouse/dark comedy/horror twist on The Hangover meets Very Bad Things that comes alive with energy, humor, and spirit. One entertaining vignette or quirky line of dialogue right after another. Plenty of surprises or twisted moments throughout right up until the finale. And after all the debauchery and blood that has spilled, it ends up being a sweet simple statement on the importance of friendship and the ties of sisterhood. The Soska sisters have started out with a film that perfectly reflects their vision as directors and have found their voice all in their very first film. No easy task considering some directors spend their entire career looking for their voice to begin with. Destined to be a cult classic!" ~Brandon Sites, www.bigdaddyhorrorreviews.com

We Twisted Twins would like to extend a very special thanks to mister Brandon Sites for his overwhelming support of us and our work and for taking the time to watch our demented little baby aka Dead Hooker In A Trunk.

Wanna join the likes of Big Daddy Horror Reviews and see Dead Hooker In A Trunk for yourself? Well, just drop us a line through our site and we'll do our very best to ensure it plays at a film festival or theatre (or "theater" for our American cousins) near you.

Bloodiest of best,
Your Twins

All Things Horror and Awesome for Hooker

Did you ever see the Norm MacDonald film 'Dirty Work' - directed by the wonderful Bob Saget? We did. As a kid, there was this dead hooker in a trunk joke... and well, I guess it's left it's comical mark on us. As did the dead hooker in the mattress of 'The Misbehavers' in Robert Rodriguez's segment of 'Four Rooms'. Aw, dead hookers - always there when you need them.


It is evident that Mike Snoonian, of All Things Horror, has also seen 'Dirty Work' with his review of 'Dead Hooker in a Trunk' whimsically entitled 'Dead Hooker in a Trunk (doing Norm McDonald proud)'. But first, what is the All Things Horror site? Well, listen for a boo or two, girls and boys.

"All Things Horror is run by two friends who share a love of the taste of karo syrup, the smell of latex, and the sight of stupid teenagers making terrible decisions.

Head contributor Mike Snoonian has been putting off his first novel for this site. He promises you that his Vampires do not sparkle, because that would just be stupid. In his spare time he watch way too many horror movies and is obsessed with his cats. His wife would like to remind him not to make a mess.

Chris Hallock has worked on two feature films and a number of short films in the Boston area, as well as directed a New England-based horror film festival.

If you have any comments or suggestions about the site, would like to contribute as a columnist, would like to submit your work for review or have an event to promote, please contact us. If you want to trade links for your site, ditto. Send all email to allthingshorroronline@yahoo.com"

Mike certainly know his horror movies. As a matter of fact, he knows a lot about all sorts of rad movies. What did he think of 'Dead Hooker in a Trunk'? Read his radcore review here. You'll be glad that you did!

Also, are you in Boston? Would you like to see 'Dead Hooker in a Trunk' for yourself? That's good, because there is an upcoming Boston screening! Stay tuned for delicious details.
