The Twisted Twins on Jennifer Blanc-Biehn's Scared Stiff

AMERICAN MARY Directors The Soska Sisters – Scared Stiff (#101)

"Hello Horror fans! I’m Jennifer Blanc-Biehn - welcome to my new show, SCARED STIFF, on theStream.tv! For our kickoff episode, I was so excited to welcome the smart, sexy, sassy directors of AMERICAN MARY and DEAD HOOKER IN A TRUNK, The Soska Sisters (Jen & Sylvia Soska, aka “The Twisted Twins”). 

It was a freewheeling discussion covering the gamut from body modification to practical gore effects, fan worship, forked animal penises, and their uniquely ribald approach to casting. We also fielded a fistful of great questions from you, the fans. If you haven’t seen AMERICAN MARY, it tells the tale of a young surgical student (Katharine Isabelle of GINGER SNAPS) who gets sucked into the underground world of body modification for quick cash. 

The film also stars Antonio Cupo, Tristan Risk, and Twan Holliday. AMERICAN MARY has been hailed by FANGORIA as “a modern horror masterpiece” - I totally agree! If you haven’t seen AMERICAN MARY, you can watch it right here on theStream.tv!

If They Came From Within: An Alternative History of Canadian Horror Movies

First and only time Jen and I have ever worked separately on projects, I'm dying to see what her fantastically fucked up brain came up with. If you are in Toronto, do not miss this event. 

"Dave Alexander, Editor-in-Chief of Rue Morgue magazine, a Canadian publication covering horror culture and entertainment, brings to Toronto “If They Came From Within: An Alternative History of Canadian Horror Movies” - a multifaceted art project that imagines a different, more legendary legacy of uniquely Canadian genre films. If They Came From Within brings these imaginary movies to life via fictional 20+ movie posters -- created by some of Canada’s top poster artists and designers – accompanied by synopses from some of the country’s top horror filmmakers.  

Faux horror movies from past, present and future are dreamed up by Bruce McDonald and Tony Burgess (Pontypool), Jason Eisener (Hobo With a Shotgun), Vincenzo Natali (Splice), Éric Tessier (5150 Elm’s Way), Astron 6 (Father’s Day), George Mihalka (My Bloody Valentine), Jen and Sylvia Soska (American Mary), Brandon Cronenberg (Antiviral), Maurice Devereaux (End of the Line), Lee Demarbre (Smash Cut) Brett Kelly (My Fair Zombie), Donna Davies (Zombiemania), Rodrigo Gudiño (The Last Will and Testament of Rosalind Leigh), Karim Hussain, (La belle bête ) and several from Alexander himself.  

The artists bringing them to life: Rupert Bottenberg, Angus Byers, Donald Carron, Jason Edmiston, Justin Erickson, Vince Marconi, Mathew Marigold, Richard Patmore, Martin Plante, Ghoulish Gary Pullin, Paige Reynolds, Eric Robillard, Mathew Verreault, Adam Vierra, Mark Unterberger, James White and Andrew Wright. Expect additional multimedia surprises, including original soundtrack music created by Montreal musician Conrad Simon and examples of actual Canadian horror films that never went into production.  

Together they create an alternative universe of Canadian genre films.  

Please join us between 7pm-11pm on Wednesday, August 7th 2013 at Steam Whistle Brewing (255 Bremner Blvd) for the opening of this exciting gallery show.  

Some of the artists and filmmakers will be in attendance. The exhibit will also be on display during the month of August, 2013. Panels promoting the show and featuring several of the artists and filmmakers will also be held as part of Rue Morgue’s Festival of Fear, August 22-25 at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre (more info at: http://www.fanexpocanada.com/horror-attractions)"
