The Blood Sprayer Fuckin' Rocks!!

As proud as we are of our first born demented baby, DEAD HOOKER IN A TRUNK, it is truly the people who have stood behind it that have taken it from our love letter to the genre to the cult classic, indie phenomenon that is has become. If a tree falls in the woods and no one's around to hear it, does it make a sound? Well, TECHNICALLY, no. According to my 8th grade science teacher, sound cannot exist without a receiver. So in the same vein of thinking, what is the point of making a film without an audience to receive it? For that reason, we will always put our audience first when it comes to our work.

We want to take this opportunity to thank some people who have not only taken a chance on checking out a strange little Canadian oddity titled DEAD HOOKER IN A TRUNK, but have given us their overwhelming support. They've supported and promoted the (un)holy hell out of Twisted Twins Productions and DHIAT. They've supported Women In Horror recognition month, they've supported our annual Massive Blood Drive, they've even taken the time to recognize the legendary "man behind the curtain", our co-conspirator, our Goody Two Shoes, CJ Wallis.
And these people know their shit. They've seen it all and support indie film like no one else, sifting through the unmentionables and bringing hidden film making gems into the light of day. So, from the bottoms of our twisted little hearts, we want to extend our most humble thanks to THE BLOOD SPRAYER. Thank you, Kristy Jett. Thank you, Zach Shildwachter. Thank you, Wes Allen. Thank you to ALL the wonderful staff of BLOOD SPRAYER. Bless you and your dedication to horror.


We are blown away to have our DEAD HOOKER IN A TRUNK included on Wes' "2010, Wha' Happened?" article. We appear as one of his FAVORITE FILMS of the year and let us tell you, boys and grrls, it's one HELL of an honor.
On the list appears the cream of the proverbial crop of 2010: MACHETE, A SERBIAN FILM, LONG PIGS, FROZEN, GRAPHIC SEXUAL HORROR, BAD BIOLOGY, GEEK WAR, THE CRAZIES, THE GOOD SISTERS, and ENTER THE VOID. Find out why you should know these films by reading the FULL ARTICLE HERE. There are also some honorable mentions that I'll let you discover on your own.

Our most sincere gratitude to the gore~geous folks at THE BLOOD SPRAYER for making this world a little more radcore. Okay, okay, a LOT more radcore.

Bloody Best!

Scott Ruth Made Me Cry Today

It has been an incredible year for DEAD HOOKER IN A TRUNK and as the year comes to an end, we are excited to announce that there will be release news in the new year! I checked my google alerts to find this --



With our HOOKER sitting proudly...



We're the middle piece! As if that wasn't enough of an honor - there was the write up (tears) which I'm not too much of a tough guy to admit, it truly touched me. It was incredibly thoughtful piece that really delved into the movie on the screen and behind the scenes.

"Throughout 2010, we've heard a great deal about the need to show support for independent horror. At times, this was being shouted from the rooftops, in an attempt to rally support for films that, whereas they may have indeed been independent in nature, they're budget and studio connections were a far cry from that of most independent films. I agree, as horror fans, it is paramount that we support independent cinema, and it's films like Dead Hooker In A Trunk that are truly deserving of our support!

Nearly every actor and actress who appeared on screen in this film also served the film in other areas, from camera operators and stunt coordinators to editors and cinematographers. This film is a work of art, and it's a labor of love. Love from fans of horror, and of film in general, who took that love and put it to work, creating a film of their own. And the love and respect that these men and women have for the the genre, as well as for movies as a whole, is very evident throughout the entire film. This is how a movie is supposed to look, sound and feel! There are many filmmakers out there, especially in Hollywood working with billion dollar budgets on films that no true fan of the cinema even cares to see, who could all stand to learn a great deal about the art of filmmaking, and the love that is required when making a movie, from Jen & Sylvia Soska, C.J. Wallis and everyone whose blood, sweat, heart, love and tears went into making Dead Hooker In A Trunk!"


Thank you so kindly, Scott Ruth - the Horror Examiner, for taking the time to watch the film, write this article - READ THE WHOLE PIECE HERE -, and rank the film as #3 - HERE - on your top twenty list for 2010. It is an immense honor to be on that list and to have such kind words said about the film and the team behind it. Thank you kindly, sir.
