The Chainsaw Mafia
The Chainsaw Mafia was created and executed by women, and we strongly believe that more women should jump into the gigantic bucket of blood and guts. We report on all sub genres of horror. Men write for this site. Women write for this site. If something offends you, please tell us about it, so we may thoroughly report on the subject. Before you leave make sure you check out the Slaughter Shop and the Networking Board, where you can stock up on everything you need for the killing spree. Disclaimer: This site contains extreme scenes and pictures of violence and sexuality. Those who lack the maturity to understand the genre as an art form need not view the rest of this site. |

songs such as "Jack the Stripper" and "Horny in a Hearse."

Kim Nekroman and his infamous coffin bass, Nekromantix was formed in
'89 in Copenhagen. Mr. Nekroman took time during their busy recording
schedule to talk to me about tough beginnings, great horror films and
the psychobilly genre...

| Low Budget Feat: 15 Till Midnight |
Actor/Director Brandon Slagle is taking on a new production with fellow Executive Producer/Co-Director Dave Meyers.
15 TILL MIDNIGHT combines science fiction, horror, mystery, and action -
the plot itself is more or less what happens when Phillip K. Dick hosts
an orgy on the set of 28 Days Later with Alfred Hitchcock and
Jason Bourne in the mix. It is being backed and is fully funded by
Rotten Apple Productions NYC as their follow-up feature to the recently
completed "The Gate of Fallen Angels"....
