He will be greatly missed by me, by his fellow Nold cast and crew members and by his many fans. For the past few days, I have been constantly reliving my many good and often funny remembrances of him."

Cory J. Udler is a horror fans director. This indie director makes the movies the fans want to see without giving in to "the suits"pressure. He has Incest Death Squad 1 and 2 that are already out and available and now he's working on his next film Mediatrix that we dive right into and talk about. Check out my latest Versus with director Cory Udler.
Brian S- First off, tell me about Mediatrix.
Cory Udler- Nobody's going to believe me, but it's based on a true story. Our story is about Mary Ann Van Hook, born into a world of false spiritualism, opiated by her mother. She basically parlays her manipulation skills into power over people, inevitably over someone who has done her wrong in the past. But she not only ruins things for that person along the way, she leaves a trail of broken bodies and bruised souls as well.

Well, this is my first post here on Geek Tyrant, so I guess I should introduce myself. My name is Deneen Melody, and I am an actress that has been given the opportunity to write here on Geek Tyrant, yay! It is pretty darn cool to have the chance to do something like this, so I would also like to thank Geeky Bastard himself, Brian Shirley, and the rest of the Geek Tyrant team. I hope that my blog will gain some new followers to the site and give an insight to the world of an independent actress. (Who just happens to be a huge Geek. So, expect plenty of posts about Geek Culture as well.)
Anyway, a few weeks ago, one of my feature films had its world premiere in Chicago at the Horror Society Film Festival. This film is called Slices Of Life, a horror anthology directed by...

Between doing server switches and freaking out my fellow Fango staffers (and countless others) with my love of Joe Dante's Gremlins this week, a bunch of news rolled in that we didn't get a chance to cover for you in the past few days.

Visit http://www.vampire-con.com for all the details. After months of rumors and spectulation,...
