Wow! 9/16/09 – Even though I am in the movie for 15 seconds, my bloated carcass made the back cover of the Sins of the Father DVD since my character's father tries to find out who murdered me. I reprised the role of Michael Jacobs from a previous Light and Dark movie, Fear of the Dark. I am also part of the commentary since I was a creative consultant on the movie.

I also helped with the concept of the story. It was a gory, action filled romp which will open Blood Fest 6 on 10/24, at the Queens Library, 41-17 Main St. in Flushing from Noon to 5pm. Most importantly, it was a tribute and one of many goodbyes to the late Joe Lauria, who was supposed to play the Black Rose Killer today. Jude Pucillo, who replaced Joe, would have made him so proud. Here's
to Joe.

Fellows." Merci beaucoup, oui oui and voulez vous coucher avec moi ce
soir. 8/4/09 – Caroline Williams, actress from The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 and Rob Zombie's Halloween II, on Insatiable (lead role of Derek): "Insatiable! An exciting

Lane, as a serial killer of women with a bloodsucking fetish, Zoe
Daelman Chlanda as his unsuspecting wife and Raine Brown as his
potential next victim, the film is a perfect example of the family that
the New York-area independent horror scene has become, with Perry
dipping into the pool of talent he met on another noteworthy director’s
shoot.” 6/10/09 – Marla Newborn of Fangoria.com gives a nod to Insatiable (lead role of Derek) right HERE.

Sunday so maybe you'll see me do something stupid. 5/18/09 – The Tenement (lead role of Jimmy Wayne Garrick) is in the 30th anniversary June issue of Fangoria Magazine. The movie is part of a list called "Fangoria On Screen" since the magazine made a cameo in the movie. http://www.lightanddark.net/images/WinstonwithFangoria.jpg The man ripping the magazine is Michael
Gingold, the REAL LIFE Managing Editor of Fangoria. His character
states, "Who do you gotta blow to get into this rag?" 5/16/09 – Check me out in A Sweet Kind of Hollow right NOW by going to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WVGIeGuPojY&feature=channel_page This will be a bonus feature on the Insatiable DVD that will be out hopefully by the end of 2009. Insatiable (lead role of Derek) will be shown at Fangoria’s Weekend of Horrors in New York City. The event takes place June 5-7th at the Jacob K. Javitz Center. Stay tuned for the exact date and time of the movie. In the meantime, here’s the TRAILER. 5/13/09 – In an interview with Fangoria.com Alan Rowe Kelly says some kind words: PART I excerpt: “. . . with Susie Adriensen, Terry M. West, Josh Nelson, Mike Lane, Brian Juergens and Michael Gingold added to the mix, it was like a party being shot everyday. It was almost too much fun making that one." PART II excerpt: "Speaking of actors, who are your rep company, and how did they find their way to the Alan Rowe Kelly universe? KELLY: I pinch myself when I realize the pool of talent that surrounds me and actually “want” to work with me. My main core of actors are Jerry Murdock, Katherine O’Sullivan and Zoe Daelman Chlanda, who started out with me 10 years ago on BURY. From there came Mike Lane, Terry M. West, Susan Adriensen . . . There is so much talent here and they’re always up for a challenge. I always write characters with certain actors in mind because they are so versatile and want to do something different every time. That’s the New York actor for you!" "But I’ll tell you my secret, Sean. I see no reason to work with someone I don’t like..." "I only work with folks I consider professional, respectful, fun and full of talent." “I just completed my horror anthology GALLERY OF FEAR with Chicago horror filmmaker Anthony G. Sumner...I wrote and directed three segments, CRITIC’S CHOICE with Debbie Rochon, DOWN THE DRAIN with Jerry Murdock, Raine Brown and Mike Lane.”
4/30/09 – Dread Central gives Insatiable a good review. Excerpts are below and read the whole review here. "All in all, "Insatiable" is a solid and entertaining short." "... I really enjoyed the subtlety of it. This is one that gets better and better with repeated viewings.” "'Insatiable' is currently making the festival rounds, so if it's playing at a horror fest near you, you might want to get a ticket … or two so you can watch it again!" Casting the film was fun. I met Mike Lane and Zoe Daelman Chlanda on the set of Alan Rowe Kelly’s film “The Blood Shed” and was impressed by their performances. When it came time to get “Insatiable” together, they agreed to do the roles. I met Raine Brown while asking for an interview for my Colonel’s Crypt website and she loved the script. For acting without using any dialogue, they had to rely on their emotions and I felt all three did a phenomenal job. Read the whole interview HERE.
"I realized that everything occurring on set of THE BLOOD SHED was a reaffirmation that I made the right decision to become a filmmaker. Never was there a film set so fun, so free of ego and temperament, and yet so very serious and creative a collaborative. THE BLOOD SHED was never ‘MY’ film. It became everyone’s film involved – from the wonderfully talented actors, music composer, editor, and producers, make up artists, art director and cinematographer. We kept saying amongst ourselves - “this shouldn’t be this fun…something is wrong!” LOL! It was one the best film experiences ever and that will last me all my days." Plus, to top it off, we have the greatest range of horror indie notables starring in GALLERY OF FEAR like Terry M. West, Jerry Murdock, Zoë Daelman Chlanda, Katherine O’Sullivan, Raine Brown, Robert Norman, Benzy, Debbie DeVerde, Susan Adriensen, Joshua Nelson, Terry Shane, Don Money, Sandra Schaller, Mike Lane, and, hell yeah, I’m in it too!” Read the rest of Alan's interview at http://www.horrorsociety.com/2009/04/09/interview-alan-rowe-kelly/.

"I know for a fact
that the next time someone asks me if I have watched anything good, I
will say 'I haven’t seen anything good, but I saw something great:

I have to admit I have been extremely fortunate in the acting department as far as the talent I have been able to assemble. They give their all, believe in my projects and are pretty fearless in the chances they take once the camera rolls. I think they trust me enough to know that I would never let anything less than their best takes appear on screen. We’ve really become quite a close-knit family. That’s the best reward.”
“. . . you can really tell the actors relish their roles, playing it up as effectively as ever.” “Plenty of violence, B-movie gore and black humor make The Blood Shed easily one of my favorite movies of 2007.” “The Blood Shed drips ***** out of *****. It’s a
perfect movie!” 2007 Updates12/29/07 - The Blood Shed (supporting role of Hubcap Bullion) makes Short Ends and Leader’s list of The Top 10 Films of 2007 That You Never Heard Of. We’re number 4! Read the whole article here Check out some excerpts: “. . . wonderfully weird . . .” “. . . strikes an intriguing balance between scares, stupidity, and satire.” “a cinematic concoction of kitsch, creeps, and dollar store perfume, and paints a perverted patina over every last piece of lunatic fringe. The results are resplendent.” “. . . when you consider the untold number of direct to DVD films available, finding a group of praise worthy productions remains a daunting task.”
“They [all 10
movies] add up to
one amazing set of
movies, a collection
of creativity the
likes of which many
of you have never
seen.” 12/16/07 - Check out Icons of Fright's review of The Blood Shed (supporting role of Hubcap Bullion) by clicking here. Excerpts are below: “However, what separates “The Blood Shed” from the half-past a dozen other movies that have tried the over-the-top horror comedy routine is the real talent behind, and in front of, the camera.” “A film like this can and will often exhaust it's audience once the novelty of the humor and the camp wears off, but because the writing is clever, the direction efficient, and the acting excellent it never wears you down.” “There's plenty of scenery chewing, “camp-it-up” moments available for the actors in this film, but they also know how to hold back just enough to make their performances funny, demented but never annoying.”
“. . . a solidly
twisted, gory,
retarded good
time.” 12/10/07 – SliceofSciFi.com loved The Blood Shed (supporting role of Hubcap Bullion): “. . . lots of gore, lots of blood and LOTS OF FUN!” “. . . everyone played it to the hilt making an enjoyable camp gore-fest . . .” “. . . loving every minute of its over-indulged weirdness.” “featured an all-star cult genre cast . . . “ “If you are looking for a film done in the old grand Troma style of camp that doesn’t take itself seriously, but is seriously performed and produced, then like me, you will love “The Blood Shed.”

“Plus with the new
additions of Joshua
Nelson, Susie, Mike
Lane, Terry M. West
and Sandra Schaller
from THE BLOOD SHED,
I feel that future
films with all of
these actors in the
right roles can
develop into a very
popular acting
troupe of horror
actors – much like
the fabulous B icons
of the 50’s, 60’s
and 70’s that
dominated most of
those great Roger
Corman and Curtis
Harrington classics.
These directors
always stuck with
the same troupe of
talent and never had
them play the same
roles twice. Makeup,
hair and wardrobe
change makes for a
complete
transformation in
any great actor and
they’re always happy
to be given the
opportunity to slip
into another
person’s skin. I’m
simply thinking
ahead and
surrounding myself
with great talent
(who also make me
look better too!)
LOL! I ain’t no
fool!” 12/2/07 – EvilDread.com liked my performance in The Blood Shed:
“The family
personally annoyed
me minus one of the
brothers, Hubcap,
who made me laugh
quite a bit with his
stupidity. Now you
ask how is his
stupidity that
funny? Guess you'll
have to see
yourself, just know
that he's not your
typical moron.” 12/1/07 – The Blood Shed’s writer/director Alan Rowe Kelly is interviewed by Rogue Cinema. Here are some excerpts: Who was involved in the casting for the film? The people who were cast to play the inbred, cannibalistic Bullion family were just incredible. Where'd you find these people? I do all the casting for my films – since I write my own screenplays, I already have my ideas for the look and physicality of my characters. It’s vitally important for me to be sure that every character is filled by actors who not only gives me what is written in the script, but also has the sense and drive to take that character into their own world and make them their own. I want to work with actors who contribute to their role – not just spout out dialogue and worry if they look good. I don’t write about ‘pretty people’. My actors have to be comfortable enough in their own skin and secure enough in their own abilities to trust my instincts once I take them into the editing room. That’s why I work with the same family of actors such as Jerry Murdock, Zoë Daelman Chlanda, Katherine O’Sullivan, Robert Norman, Joshua Nelson, Susan Adriensen, Mike Lane, Don Money and Terry West. They are actors - and damn good ones! You've got several films that have either been completed or are in production since The Blood Shed. Tell us about those films, when they'll be all be released and what we can look forward to in them. I’m presently immersed in writing THE HOLLOWS, an eerie 6-part web series that revolves around a haunted area of Indian burial grounds and ancient folklore. We plan to commence shooting in March 2008 and will spread the episodes out thorough 2008. Jerry Murdock, Zoë Daelman Chlanda, Katherine O’Sullivan, Raine Brown, Debbie Rochon, Keith Fraser, Jessie May Laumann, Randy Jones (Yes! The hot cowboy from The Village People!), Benzy, Terry West, Joshua Nelson, Mike Lane, Joe Davison and Brinke Stevens making appearances. I’m totally thrilled to have these great talents on board. I’ll also be working as a crewmember on Scott W. Perry’s horror short INSATIABLE this December/January with Jeremiah Kipp, Mike Lane, Raine Brown and Zoë Daelman Chlanda!

Excerpts are below: “The actors are great in their parts, they just all seem to be making slightly different movies. Characters mix like jellybeans — the results are unexpected but almost always tasty. Somehow it works in context, adding even more flavor to an already surreal atmosphere.”

pleaser.”

so gorgeous, the
acting so good, and
the humor SO funny

What an absolute MIND SCREW!! I LOVED IT!!” “. . . a helluva fun ride and I must have guffawed 17 times while watching the on-screen revelry. Kudos to Heretic Films for putting out such truly original filmmaking for audiences worldwide to enjoy in the comforts of their own home. Here's hoping this film gets all the attention and applause it so absolutely deserves!” –

many a disturbed
laugh. With
well-placed shocks,
moments of suspense
and shameless gore,
The Blood Shed is
quite the enjoyable
ride.” 10/22/07 – Unspeakable Mag gives a great review to The Blood Shed (supporting role of Hubcap Bullion).

“Bottom line THE
BLOOD SHED is one
hell of a film. I
could go on and on
about this excellent
movie, but then you
wouldn’t need to
watch it. Needless
to say I’ll forever
be picking up
anything any of
these people
involved with Blood
Shed do from this
point on!” 10/20/07 – Pulp Movies raves about The Blood Shed (supporting role of Hubcap Bullion). Click here to read the review. Excerpts are below: “This approach works surprisingly well, due in no small part to the exceptionally high standard of the acting. Each of the five of the main characters . . . has a distinct personality and the cast do a great job of bringing these personalities to the fore and ensuring that none of the characters ever descends into becoming an homogenized serial killer. “. . . they exert a morbid fascination that keeps you watching.”
“But what really
makes the film stand
out us its unique
mixture of horror
and slapstick, which
achieves a genuinely
disturbing effect
that will stay with
you for quite some
time.” 10/17/07 – Entertainment Insiders picks The Blood Shed (supporting role of Hubcap Bullion) as a “Best Bet for Halloween DVD viewing in 2007.”

It doesn't deserve to be scoffed it. Indeed, this is the kind of film that needs to be celebrated - and savored. “A brilliant bumpkin satire . . .” “This eager exploitation experiment is a joy to behold.” “It's riotously inventive, strangely satisfying, and completely out of its gourd.” “. . . a heaping helping of quirk-filled fabulousness, a movie with a surprise around every corner, and a corpse in every closet.” “. . . reinvigorates your faith in underground creativity.” “. . . massively entertaining. This is one family outing that retains its delightful dysfunction all the way through.” -Blood Type Online also gives The Blood Shed a positive review at http://www.bloodtypeonline.com/b65.htm:

Joshua Nelson and Mike Lane as brothers Butternut and Hubcap played off each other very well in their different styles. Nelson is the more abrasive of the two, showing his anger towards the victims if need be, while Lane has a low key, subdued performance that balances out the rest of the family perfectly Read the whole review here. 9/26/07 – Wrapped supporting role of Elibror in the audio drama The Age of the Swords Part II: The Spider Queen.

Mike Lane as Hubcap was not only who I thought to be the best character in the film, but Lanes performance was outstanding. How any actor can act like he did in this film takes a lot of talent. Not only did he have to act like a retarded crackhead with berets in his hair, but he had to wear a pig costume also. How he stayed in character is beyond me, because it takes talent to play a role like that. Read the whole
