Russian Synchronized Swimmers Win Gold With Seventies-Horror-Movie Soundtrack and Doll Costumes
What on earth would cause Fangoria, the magazine dedicated to horror and slasher movies, to start covering Olympic sports? The unexpected, unbridled delight a fan of the genre might get upon recognizing the insanely terrifying score from Dario Argento's 1977 horror film Suspiria as the background music for a Russian synchronized swimming duet.
Honestly, everything about yesterday's duet finals was dramatic and amazing.

From DJ Perry
FLIP THIS
DEADLY RENOVATIONS is an independent horror/thriller directed by Robert Gwinn and produced by Paisaen Productions, Rampant Entertainment and Collective Development Inc. The film, which releases on August 21st domestically, has just released the official DVD artwork.
The film, which stars DJ Perry, Terence Knox, Lana Wood, Johnny Dark and Fred Griffith, is set for VOD release in September 2012. The film also boasts a strong experienced supporting cast, which includes a bevy of beautiful females such as Shawn Rougeron, Nathalie Ben-Kely, Charlene May Khalaf, Laura Bendele and Tracilyn Jones.
The film is about greed, murder and mayhem! While the film does put a complex storyline out there for those who enjoy the guesswork of a "who-done-it" – once things start moving the film becomes a solid piece of work filled with intensity and violence. There has even been talk from the producers of a sequel so if audiences take to the film a "Deadly Renovations 2" could be in the works.
Aside from the possibility of a "Deadly Renovations" sequel there are rumors of a road trip comedy film entitled "E & Me" from "Deadly Renovation" writer/producer Charles Pisaeno and producer DJ Perry. Also director Robert Gwinn is collaborating with DJ Perry and CDI on a slasher/horror film entitled "Virtue". Good material is coming from these companies and individuals and "Deadly Renovations" looks to be just the start.

From Deborah Mellman
NEXT ON THE CHOPPING BLOCK
Beauty Elina Madison is making heads turn and the industry take notice. From the runway to the television and silver screens, this former Elite model has parlayed a successful modeling career into a blossoming acting career. Raised in Cheyenne, Wyoming, Madison landed her first professional acting job in That Thing You Do.
From there she had the opportunity to work with renowned director David Lynch in MULHOLLAND DR.. She played the wife of Academy Award nominee John Hawkes in the character study film, Small Town Saturday Night, also starring Chris Pine.
 |
Currently, Madison stars in the horror feature HUFF (October 2012). She plays the role of 'Lorelei,' the wife of Huff, a violent and abusive man (played by Charlie O'Connell) "She brought me to tears in one scene with her honesty and pain. Just the conviction in her eyes was strong enough to pull the emotion out of me. She layered Lorelei well and I was impressed with how she captivated me with just her first few lines," said Lauren Pacheco, whysoblu.com.
Other upcoming feature film projects include the leading role of 'Alana Wilson' in THE BLACK TAPE (December 2012). This psychological thriller is said to be a cross between PARANORMAL ACTIVITY and THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT. Additionally, Madison can be seen in the comedy horror flick, HALLOWEEN PARTY (October 2012) and DRACULA (January 2013). Madison has starred in numerous horror /sci-fi genre films including the multiple film festival winner BARRACUDA, CREEPSHOW 3, PETRIFIED and the remake of THE STRANGE CASE OF DR. JEKYLL AND MR. HYDE. She also produced and starred in CORPORATE CUT THROAT MASSACRE.
Madison gets her unique looks from her Mexican/Spanish and Norwegian/Czech heritage. |
