Sam the Horror Man chats with the Twisted Twins Tonight!

Sam the Horror Man is the man. He is pictured above on the street where Laurie Strode in Halloween first encounters Michael Myers. Epic.

He's been a long time supporter of our exploits beginning from when our DEAD HOOKER IN A TRUNK first dragged it's ridiculous and demented self onto the horror scene. We've come a long way and it's a real pleasure to speak again with a friend who believed in us and our work from the very start of it all. Tonight, on The Savir Show we'll be re-united. He also writes for Bloody Disgusting, which we love like Freddy Kruger loves narcolepsy. He is one of the geniuses behind The Realm Cast which is a geek~gasmic site. It's spectacular and amazing and sometimes even "web of" (yeah, that's one for my fellow Marvel fanatics).

And just to add even more awesome to an already awesome show, fellow femme fatale, Andrea Albin will be on the show! It's the first time we'll be making voice to voice contact. We recently had the pleasure of being interviewed by Andrea for STIFF Magazine alongside everyone's (and our) favorite badass director, Eli Roth. You can order yours here and get the full interview also here on The Albin Way, the wicked awesome blog of miss Albin.

Tune in tonight to hear The Twisted Twins share some awesome info in their filmmaking careers. Sylvia & Jen Soska. Tune in at www.viewen.com. / VRadio . 9pm-10pm CST/ 10pm-11pm EST/ 7pm-8pm PST.

Tune in tonight, boys and grrls!

Bloody Best!

Fear File #3: Twisted Twins Jen and Sylvia Soska

"I'll be the first to tell you how overtly absurd DEAD HOOKER IN A TRUNK sounds. It's a messy, straightforward title that leaves little to the imagination. In fact it's that title alone that has recently caused a censorship upheaval and serves as a deterrent for light-hearted movie goers.

As Juliet so eloquently said in her famed Shakespearean tragedy- What's in a name? Sure, there is a dead hooker and they do find her in a trunk, but the film goes much deeper than that. It's as if Tarantino took a stab at a chick flick and gave it a welcome dose of steroids and blood. Intrigued by the film's raw, side-splitting intensity, I tracked down the filmmakers- surprisingly sweet identical twins Jen and Sylvia Soska. These two women are a breath of fresh air, an inviting balance to a testosterone filled world. They're the yin to my yang (what can I say, we've bonded) and two of the genre's most talented up and coming filmmakers.

Ladies- I think we may have found our anti-heroes." ~ Andrea Albin, Bloody Disgusting/The Albin Way

Bloody Disgusting is fan~fucking~tastic. If you don't know that by now you've been spending too much time living in that cave. For horror news, reviews, and assorted goodies, it just can't be beat.

And speaking of the fantastical and wicked awesome, let me say that it has been a great pleasure to have met and been interviewed by Bloody Disgusting's Andrea Albin, writer, reviewer, and interviewer extraordinaire. It was an esteemed pleasure to speak with this brilliant and talented woman. Not only that, but through our communications we now have an incredible new friend that we have much more in common with than simply horror (sushi, religion, OCD... the list goes on).

We were delighted to speak with her and be featured on her Fear Files. Fear File #3 is an in depth interview with us with a very special guest appearance by everyone's and our favorite badass director, Eli Roth.

"People often ask me for advice, and truthfully, a lot of people don't want to hear an answer like 'try again' or 'it takes years,' they just want everything solved instantly. The Soskas are the opposite. They are very, very smart, and if they don't know something they learn it fast. I have also seen how they handle themselves in interviews, and how they face the attacks for their feature, which is a very self-aware and absurd title, and they can eloquently defend what they do and why they do it." ~ Eli Roth

For the full FEAR FILE (#3), grab a shot of Jack (or whatever it is you moisten your palate with) and enjoy it RIGHT HERE.

Want the FULL INTERVIEW with we Twisted Twins AND hear what Eli Roth has to say about us, DEAD HOOKER IN A TRUNK, AMERICAN MARY and more? Boom. RIGHT OVER HERE.

A very special thanks goes out to Miss Albin for the gore~geous interview. It is such a pleasure to walk away with not only an outstanding article and interview, but also a wonderful new friend. And on the note of wonderful friends, thank you to our favorite Bear Jew for being precisely that that.

XO,
Jen and Sylv

Keep Your Peepers On These Five - Horror Directors On The Rise

From blood-soaked slasher flicks to spine tingling paranormal feats, scary movies rip at our souls. It's the thrill, the unanswered questions, the taboo, the unknown angst that makes us shudder, yet yearn for more. And that's what makes the genre special- what breathes new life into it. Horror hits a lot closer to home than most would care to admit- and that's what makes it appealing. And frightening.

Dozens of names have become synonymous with the genre: Wes Craven. John Carpenter. George Romero. Eli Roth. We've seen it all- from teenagers going on killing sprees, to tourists being forced into human torture chambers. And there's a lot of exploration left, but where else can it go? And who is going to take it there? We've taken the time to compile a list of the top five up and comers in the horror game. Some of them have already established their credentials, while others are just stepping into the limelight. - Andrea Albin, Miami New Times

I have to share, Eli Roth introduces us to some of the best people on the planet - I can't even begin to express how much his friendship and support have changed our lives. First, he introduced us to Hannah Neurotica who - if you're new to the class, is our separated at birth sister, we are just that perfect for each other - and over last the last week we met the sensational Andrea Albin, keeper of all horror knowledge who is brimming with so much talent and eloquence that it is impossible not to love who she is and what she does.

Andrea Albin is a professional writer - you can see her work on Bloody-Disgusting.com and Stiff Magazine, as well as her personal fierce blog, The Albin Way - with a knack for cutting through the bullshit and going for the proverbial kill. Which helps a lot if horror is your game and she is a master at it. In a culture where the safer road is often the one most traveled, it's a breath of fresh air to have someone like Andrea who prides herself on having one of the edgiest Hollywood blogs around. No bullshit, indeed.

It was a supreme pleasure talking to her about the industry, our work, and everything in between. The article is on its way, but she has bestowed another great honor on us by including us on her list of Five Up-and-Coming Horror Directors About to Hit It Big.

2. The Soska Sisters
Beautiful identical twins that thrive off of intensity and violence? Sign us up! These girls were busy brainstorming nightmares while others were planning fairytales -- and that we can appreciate. These sisters are right at the top of the watch list for the simple fact that their film, Dead Hooker in a Trunk, is one of the best low budget, independent horrors circulating around to date. It's a bloody romp that's sure to impress even horror purists and captivate skeptical watch hounds. American Mary, their latest project, has eyes set on Cannes, and who knows where their groundbreaking films will lead them- hopefully into a cemented spot in terror history.

I am so honored to have myself and my twinnie included on this list that Andrea has really hit the proverbial nail on the head with this article. Daniel Stamm (THE LAST EXORCISM), Oren Peli (PARANORMAL ACTIVITY), Darren Lynn Bousman (REPO! THE GENETIC OPERA), and James Wan(SAW) are innovative, creative artists that films that are unique and are breathing a life into horror that big studio films often lack.

It is a true privilege to be included. For those of you that are unfamiliar with these names - I implore you to hit up the full list and get your knowledge on. These gentlemen are going to be creating the films that you will be talking about tomorrow.
