If you haven't heard of Bill Oberst, Jr., first it means you're not quite yet a fan of Fearmakers and have not seen Dismal and secondly, what the hell have you been watching, mainstream Hollywood horror flicks? Boooorrrriiinnnggg. Oberst is quickly making a name for himself in the horror genre. With his distinct look, scary presence, and most importantly, his love for the genre, he's someone who will one day be spoken about in the same breath as Chaney, Karloff, Lugosi, Englund and other great cinema legends of horror.
Oberst is on the cusp of greatness, having appeared in dozens of independent films, usually as the head baddie, and many television shows as well, namely True Blood and 1000 Ways to Die. At one point he was being looked at as the next Freddy Krueger for the Nightmare on Elm Street remake. Soon you'll find him getting that breakout role in a major horror flick, and we can say we got him first.
Sincerely, if you are a horror fan you MUST look up Oberst's work and check out as many movies as you can. Can't say all the movies will be great but I can assure you Bill is great in them. Do yourself a favor, horror fans, and get to know Bill Oberst, Jr.
See Oberst's latest interview at
GeekTyrant.com. You can also see him in
Dismal, Oberst's first horror film, tomorrow (July 12th) at 2:30am on The Movie Channel Xtra.
The latest issue of Rue Morgue magazine includes a review of Savage and an interview with the filmmakers. The editor worked very hard to put together a great piece that really promotes the film positively so please show your support and check it out.

Now is your chance to catch Savage on TV. The Fearmakers creature feature will premiere on Chiller TV September 30 @ 8pm! Don't miss the stunning performances by Martin Kove (The Karate Kid), Tony Becker (TVs Tour of Duty), Lisa Wilcox (A Nightmare on Elm St. 4), Shane Callahan (The Mothman Prophecies), Anna Enger (TVs The Vampire Diaries) and Jack Harrison as The Bigfoot!
A friend, who ironically worked on Fearmakers' first feature Death4Told, is now a web designer. He recently told me about a class he took and particularly about a book he had to get for that class. The book was Motion Graphic Design: Applied History and Aesthetics by Jon Krasner. In the companion DVD there was something interesting, the opening titles were there as examples of professional work in motion graphic design. Pretty cool that the work appearing in the film was being used to teach others. Steelcoast Creative, the designers of the opening title sequence, did a tremendous job and have been working on our projects ever since. In fact they've worked on EVERY project ever since including our sub-division Strange Stuff.
If you haven't had a chance to see Dismal by now (and there's no reason you shouldn't) Showtime has added more dates. Look at the listing below.
