The Lovecraft Collection Now Available on VOD from Skullface Astronaut

I was asked a few times about collecting the various H.P. Lovecraft adaptations and Lovecraftian stores that I have done into one collection and I finally made time to do it. Featuring a creepy intro by my pal John, you can find it here: https://vimeo.com/ondemand/thelovecraftcollection - it includes:

CARTER: Adapted from “The Statement of Randolph Carter,” a man recounts discovering weird artifacts and beings and how his partner disappeared, while questioning his own sanity;

THE CURSE OF PELICAN BAY: A writer goes to a beach house to get away from it all and write, but after discovering a box full of old clippings about a local legend of horror, she can’t get it out of her mind;

COOL AIR: Adapted from “Cool Air,” a woman rents an apartment in the city and soon meets the strange doctor living above her, and discovers the doctor’s stranger secret;

JUST BEYOND THE CORNER OF YOUR EYE: A podcaster enters the life of an expert in the occult and bizarre. Next, an ancient book arrives, along with many mysterious figures who are after it;

PICKMAN’S MODEL: Adapted from “Pickman’s Model,” a tortured artist has lost his edge and does some life drawings on the advice of his gallery owner friend. When a model disappears, her roommate digs deeper than she expected with horrifying results.

Again, these shorts are all part of previously released projects (see the VOD description for details), but for those who JUST want to Lovecraftian stuff, they are collected here: https://vimeo.com/ondemand/thelovecraftcollection

CHANNEL 99 is NOW AVAILABLE on DVD or VOD

Channel 99 from Joe Sherlock on Vimeo.

CHANNEL 99 is my homage to watching pay cable network Showtime in the early to mid-80s along with local tv channels with their afternoon and late might movies - it's an anthology of horror and sci-fi stories all wrapped together by a fake cable channel.

Does it have werewolves, shower scenes, hot tubs, sexy ghosts, spaceships, aliens, serial killers, witches, girls making out, zombies, monsters, Jackey Neyman Jones, Link Masters, my dog AND Mr. Birch?

It sure as hell does!!!

In fact, this is pretty much a great overview of all the wild and wacky stuff that I've crammed into all the Skullface Astronaut movies.

After seeing an early cut of this movie, one viewer commented, "This may be the most Joe of the Joe movies."

CHANNEL 99 IS DONE - PREORDERS NOW OPEN! ORIGINAL PAINTINGS!

My latest horror/sci-fi anthology CHANNEL 99 is finished and pre-orders are now open at http://skullfaceastronaut.com/channel99/

I've got packages with other dvds, my graphic novel, glow-in-the-dark baseball cap, etc. but this time around I've got 6 SPECIAL pre-order offerings…

The final story in CHANNEL 99 is called "Pickman's Model," my own modern adaption of the H.P. Lovecraft short story. In it, I play Pickman, a troubled artist who paints rather spooky artwork. I actually painted 6 paintings for the art gallery scenes, and am offering them as a part of these 6 packages.

Since they are ONE-OF-A-KIND original paintings, I am using Ebay auctions as a way to list them. The above page on my site has pics and details, but the purchase link will take you over to the auction listings.

It was a challenge to finish this with all the pandemic lockdowns. About 3/4 of it was done before the mid-March lockdowns here in Oregon. I recent months, I rewrote stories and came up with new ones that had tiny casts, and in some cases could be shot without all cast there at one time. I had to take it bit by bit, but now I'm ready to unleash my love letter to early 80s pay cable and local indie tv stations to the world.

Evilmaker 20th Anniversary Special Edition - Double Feature plus Bonus Platoon of the Dead!

 

Details at http://skullfaceastronaut.com/evilmaker20th/

It's hard to believe that 2 decades have gone by since the release of the indie horror cult hit THE EVILMAKER. Starring the voluptuous scream queen Stephanie Beaton and indie girl Felicia Pandolfi, writer/director John Bowker's horror opus garnered coverage from Draculina magazine to B-Independent and countless other websites. Arrow In The Head raved, "Ambitious effort strikes chords most small budget offerings don’t try to hit...Stephanie Beaton’s best performance ever!"

This special release is the excellent double feature disc put out by Tempe Video, including THE EVILMAKER and ABOMINATION: EVILMAKER II features, plus great extras including the fantastic 44-minute documentary on the making of ABOMINATION. A new dvd sleeve, marking the 20th anniversary of the original's release, is signed by writer/director John Bowker and LIMITED TO JUST 30 COPIES and over half are already gone! As a special bonus for this limited edition, a dvd of John's other Tempe Video release, PLATOON OF THE DEAD will also be included.

THINGZ TOO plus THINGS BOX SET now available!

The flick I shot as "THINGS 6" has been retitled and is a part of the new THINGS BOX SET - 5 blu-rays plus a special mystery dvd included. For details, message producer David Sterling over at https://www.facebook.com/david.sterling.167

Sad.

So these two filmmakers do a series where they like to shit all over other filmmakers. They'd previously said of a movie I worked on: - Garbage - Produced by an asshole - How much were they smoking for this? - Ridiculed production company name - Ridiculed director's name - Ridiculed actresses names - Ridiculed actor's names - Ridiculed actor's appearance - Sarcastically called practical fx "really decent CG, there." - Oh jeez, this sucks, this movie sucks, just not a good movie at all not even remotely good - Called the production company we hired to do cgi fx 'a porno company' - That movie really fucking sucked - It sucks, don't watch it - A slog to sit through, it's boring, the acting is shoddy and terrible, the picture quality is also non-existent - the picture quality is absolutely shit - Man, it's just terrible. I just found out they have shit all over another film I worked on. Of this one, they said: "Sweet Zombie Jesus, this one is fucking awful…To say this movie is a mess is like saying that water quenches your thirst…The characters have little to make them interesting, and any character development is revealed in a very haphazard way…When you add in the flat acting of most of the cast, you really don’t care if any of them live or die…The whole film is slow, confusing, and dull…neither suspenseful, nor fun. It’s a haphazard and dull mess of a film that took its gloriously awful origin, and took a big shit on it. I certainly wish I had been trapped in a happy memory instead of watching this turd." But then, they also hope that FILMMAKERS WILL PAY THEM MONEY TO ADVERTISE ON THEIR SHOW because they also posted this: "Do you have a movie, a web series, a DVD or something to promote? Consider advertising on an episode (or two) of Terribly Awful. With affordable rates and an ever growing viewership, you can do a lot worse." If you are a filmmaker why the hell would you EVER pay these guys to promote your project when the whole point of their series is to make fun of and shit all over other filmmakers? The thing is, from what I can tell, these guys have made three short films, a bunch of series episodes, music videos, behind-the-scenes bits, etc., and their website lists plans for three features, more shorts and web series. I would think that by this point, they would know how hard it is to make an indie movie of any sort. Which makes it just profoundly sad that, while knowing the miracle it often is to complete an indie film, all the long hours, troubleshooting and all the time and heart that many people have put into it, they still get their kicks by making a series that is just them shitting all over other filmmakers' work. I'm the first to say that everyone has a right to their opinion and also the right to express it. These guys can be as harsh as they want and share their videos all over the place. No one HAS to like anything I've worked on. One of the best comments I saw on my original post about this was, "The first thing I do when trying to break into a field is crap all over the work of my peers, or my hopeful future peers even." No-budget filmmakers have gone on to start many of the small distribution companies, both physical and streaming. The filmmaker whose very name or production company name or wife's name is made fun of may be in charge of the film festival you submit to. They may be very good friends with any number of actors, fx people, composers or other production folks you try to hire. When you are trying to drum up business taking headshots, doing video production, photographic art projects, commercial work, green screen or technical support, you may find that the business owner you are courting was the money man for his nephew's low-budget movie that you shit on. When you try to drum up business on your website by saying, "If you have a story to tell, or want to be a storyteller, we want to hear from you," you may need to add, "unless you are a storyteller who has made movies that we call an 'atrocity,' a 'big DUMP,' tear to shreds and flush right down the cinematic toilet, etc." When you do manage to get distribution for your movie or self-distribute and start posting all over FB groups trying to get other filmmakers and fans to help spread the word about your movie being available, you may find that a bunch of them tell you to go fuck yourself, either because of something you said about them or a filmmaker they consider a peer, friend or family member. You never know.

Updated the ol' sizzle reel with stuff I've done in the last 5 years. So hard to squeeze stuff in! But hopefully you get the vibe.

"Wildly entertaining."

- Daily Grindhouse

“Combines elements from home invasion, Steven King’s horror novels, and a dollop of Don Coscarelli‘s Phantasm."

- Smash or Trash Indie Filmmaking

"Ambitious…a really cool story buried under low fi qualities."

- Ain't It Cool News

"A ton of imagination and black heart. I could see becoming a cult classic in the years ahead."

MANOS RETURNS now available on Amazon Prime!

A film I co-produced and was director of photography on is now available to stream on Amazon Prime! MANOS RETURNS is the sequel to the 1966 cult movie "Manos: The Hands of Fate," a favorite on Mystery Science Theater 3000.

Tom Neyman returns as "The Master," as does Diane Mahree Rystad as Margaret and Jackey Neyman Jones as Debbie.

In MANOS RETURNS, "Four friends get lost on a road trip and stumble on a hidden cult lead by the sinister Master and his servant Torgo. As they try to escape, they get caught up in the power struggle between Debbie, given to Manos as a child 50 years ago, her mother Maggie, and the other souls twisted by their time serving the dark god."
