Kelly's back, and walking wounded and shot down

Kelly is back in town (you’ll remember her from Blood Ripper: Death Comes For Her) so she popped by Project Horror HQ last night and we shot a a couple of films - one features a lot of walking wounded and fighting on to the bitte...

Throwing an axe into Amber's chest - FX test teaser

Another exclusive teaser for members of the Psycho Killer tiers

Amber and Roxie are two of my oldest model friends - I've been working with them for about ten years now. They are literally up for anything and are so much fun. Anyways, I finished a shoot the other night and they were bored so popped by t...

This is the sequel to The Curious Disappearance of Jennifer Devere. If you haven't watched that yet, go watch it now. 

Finding Jennifer takes place two months after Jennifer goes missing. The police are baffled so a broken Mr ...

Amber returns - and gets machine gunned

After a long break due to COVID-19, it was great to work with Amber again after so many months. We did a couple of quick films to blow the cobwebs off. Here’s some on-set stills from one of the videos.

Project Horror and YouTube

As you know, I've been reviewing and thinking about how Project Horror works and how best to have things running so I can carry on pushing the project forward over the coming months.  I've already made some changes - as set out here 2020-07-16 16:54:55 +0000 UTC View Post

White shirt machine gun overkill teaser

I may have got carried away with the bullet wounds when I worked with Neave last week 🤣😂🤣

This is hands down the most over-the-top machine-gunning and we got so much great slo-mo clips.

Can’t wait to edit this and share it.

Blood & Honour: The Raid - set stills and BTS - two female cops machine gunned

So here are some teasers and BTS exclusively for you patrons in the Psycho Killer tiers. As you can see, I’m back to shooting with multiple people - which is great news. These pics are from a film being released in either August or September called The Raid and is part of a series called Blood & Honour. It features Rac...

No Way Out

This shooting video is inspired by the popular archive story of the same name. 

Kayleigh makes her Project Horror debut as Agent Brooks, a young agent sent to infiltrate the KGB and copy some documents. 

Kayleigh's ...

Gushing blood on white lingerie

A tiny teaser from a custom job I just finished for a patron, which features a double belly stab. I've been experimenting with blood spurts and gushes and I'm pretty happy with how this turned out. 

What do you think?

The Curious Disappearance of Jennifer Devere

Neave is impaled and then stabbed and then brutally disembowelled - and there's some treats in store for fans of feet and/or tights.

Neave is amazing as Jennifer Devere, a young writer from a wealthy family. Set in the 70s, she is ambitious and driven and is desperate to exploit the rising interest in true crime and urb...

Red On White - video archive release

This is an exclusive archive release, just for you patrons - as a thanks you for sticking around for July. 

So I shot this back in 2017 when I was first getting to grips with video. I shot a couple of things with Sophie and slipped this in at the end. It's essentially a screen test for two things - 1) the prostheti...

Coming in July

Hi there, 

I'm poorly at the moment so haven't had time to put together a coming soon trailer for July. But do stick around for July because there's some awesome gory stuff coming your way. 

I'm starting a new series with a new serial killer, the Bankside Ripper. It's actually borrowing heavily from the ...

Changes to Project Horror

So you'll remember a few weeks ago I said that my plan for Project Horror was to continue to explore creating narrative driven blood and gore content, much in the style that I have been. I also spoke about how to achieve that, I need to tweak the tiers and benefits and release schedule. If you missed the post or need remindin...

A Rookie's Mistake

Dani stars as Detective Jones, an ambitious rookie detective who happens to stumble across an organised crime gang up to no good at a warehouse in the city. She calls for back-up, but it's going to take too long. She figures  the gang might be gone by then and decides she can handle it solo. 

 I hope you ...

In the $30, $45, or $60 tier? You need to read this

Hi there, 

Slightly dull but very  important - so please read.

Thanks for your support. I hope you've enjoyed the downloads from May, April and/or March, depending on which tier you belong to. 

Those of you on the $60 tier, you are all caught up so there's no advantage or benefit from remainin...

Things Go South for Mitzy North

I changed the release schedule because I'm really excited to share this with you. This is Neave's audition tape for Project Horror. I had something quick and easy planned for her, but she arrived with this character Mitzy North, a hard-nosed mob enforcer, all thought out and even had the story pretty much ready to shoot. It t...

How’s your Friday night?

I’m currently at the studio shooting a custom. How’s everyone else’s Friday night?

Teaser - Things Go South for Mitzy North

Had an awesome audition with Project Horror debutante Neave. I've worked with Neave on a few fashion projects previously so was super excited when she said she fancied getting bloody. We managed to shoot a really cool stabbing, which I can't wait to share with you patrons. Managed to include some glasses and high sleeves, on ...

Project Horror: phase 2 - what the future holds

NB: Please read - it's a lengthy post but an important one. I'm going to talk about the direction of the project and how that will be supported by potential changes to tiers and benefits.

It's been just over three months since I launched Project Horror properly to the world. And it seems like a...

The Handover

I love the spy movies from the 60s and 70s - the aesthetic was spot on and there was so much double and triple crossing. So this is my homage to those secret agent films. 

In The Handover, agents Wilkins and Johnson are handing over sensitive information to the Germans. It should be a routine drop-off - but the Rus...

Deadly Ambition - Too Late

So this would be a mid-credit scene for Deadly Ambition ... if I did credits 😂😂

Detective Adams responds to the call for back up after Detective Jackson calls in Mac's murder. Detective Adams is too late to save Mac and Jackson and is taken out herself just minutes before the back up arrives. 

[NB I'm a...

Do I use too much blood?

I've had a few people (on YouTube, not through here) comment that I use too much blood. Now I'm definitely of the view that there's no such thing as too much blood, especially when filming scenes where the person takes a while to die - all those wounds and a heart still beating and pushing blood out!!! 

That said, ...

Deadly Ambition

There's been a spate of women going missing across the city and the police have zero leads and are getting nowhere. An ambitious young cop and her world-weary partner get what could be a break in the case and find themselves at a rundown warehouse. Detective "Mac" MacReady is keen to call for back-up, but Detective Jackson is...

Mara teaser

So this is how I spent my afternoon ... 

Mara popped in for her Project Horror audition today which gave me a chance to mess around with a different style of practical fx. It's pretty basic but does the job and I'm definitely going to expand on that. With all of June's content shot, I've got some time to play and e...

Coming soon to Project Horror in June

Here's a teaser for all the releases planned throughout June. I'm really excited to share this month's releases with you. 

We've got at least 3 or 4 tentpole releases, building on what I did with No Loose Ends - eg, plot, context, motives, build ups, more locations, character decisions that lead to their demises, g...

The Doomed Mission

Thanks again for all the amazing feedback for last weekend's release, No Loose Ends. It felt like I'd levelled up and your feedback kinda confirmed that and has spurred me on to create bigger and better things, which I'm looking forward to sharing with you in June.

I've filmed 3 stories this week, all of which have simi...

Wrong Place, Wrong Time Part 10 - archive video release

As I've said many times now, when I started exploring this project back in 2014 I was messing around with photo-stories. I also shot a few clips at the same time, which is what you are seeing here -  a collection of clips rather than a video, as such. It goes with the archive photo story I just posted - check it out...

Wrong Place, Wrong Time Part 10

Here it is - the last archive post. My vault of photosets and clips from 2014 is now officially all released, exclusively to you patrons. 

In Wrong Place, Wrong Time Part 10, Sarah Louise goes poking her nose around the wrong warehouse. It doesn't end well for Sarah-Louise. Instead ofa long drawn out death at the h...

No Loose Ends

I shot this earlier this week on a socially distanced shoot with Adele. I was planning a different release this weekend, but this came out so good, I had to share it asap. 

Adele plays an elite bomb-maker, who is delivering a specially made advanced timer to Marcus, and arms dealer and middle man. 

First...
