BE MY BUDDY ADAM RIFKIN’S FRIEND NOW! (HE MADE ME SAY THAT)
ALL RIGHT, LET'S BE HONEST. WE ALL KNOW THAT IN ADDITION TO HAVING INCREDIBLY DEEP CONVERSATIONS WITH STRANGERS ALL OVER THE WORLD (AND SOMETIMES HAVING SEX WITH THEM), MY SPACE IS ALSO A GREAT PLACE TO SELF PROMOTE. ESPECIALLY IF YOU REALLY ARE AN ACTOR, MUSICIAN, FILMMAKER, ARTIST- AND HELL, EVEN IF YOU'RE NOT. CUZ FACE IT—JUST LIKE THAT WALK OF FAME ON HOLLYWOOD BOULEVARD, HERE AT MY SPACE, EVERYBODY'S A DREAMER, AND EVERYBODY'S A STAR!
SO WITH THAT IN MIND, MY GOOD PAL ADAM RIFKIN HAS A BRAND NEW MY SPACE PAGE THAT I INSIST YOU CHECK OUT. EVEN THOUGH I PERSONALLY ONLY REALLY LIKE ONE OF HIS MOVIES, DETROIT ROCK CITY (AND THAT'S ONLY CUZ I WORKED ON IT AND IT WAS ABOUT KISS), I MUST ADMIT, ADAM IS A PRETTY DAMN FUNNY AND UNIQUE GUY. HE'S ALSO A JEW. NOT THAT IT MATTERS ANY. I JUST SAY THAT CUZ ADAM ALWAYS FEELS IT'S NECESSARY TO LET EVERYONE KNOW I'M GAY. SO IN KIND, I FEEL IT'S MY DUTY TO LET EVERYONE KNOW HE'S A JEW.
SO IF YOU HAVE NOTHING BETTER TO DO THIS 4TH OF JULY WEEKEND, CHECK OUT ADAM'S SITE. MOST IMPORTANTLY, MAKE HIM YOUR FRIEND. CUZ HE'S REALLY LONELY AND NEEDS YOU LOVE AND SUPPORT. (HE ALSO HAS A FUNNY AS HELL NEW MOVIE COMING OUT IN THEATERS NEXT WEEK CALLED NATIONAL LAMPOON'S HOMO ERECTUS.
THE MAIN REASON TO BE RIF'S FRIEND, HOWEVER, IS BECAUSE I'VE FALLEN ON HARD TIMES, AND HE'S PAYING ME A DOLLAR FOR EVERY FRIEND I GET FOR HIM. IF I MAKE ENOUGH DOLLARS, I JUST MIGHT BE ABLE TO FINALLY FILM THE SEQUEL TO 2001 MANIACS.
SO IN SUMMING UP— IF YOU EVER WANT TO SEE 2001 MANIACS: BEVERLY HELLBILLYS,
PS: STAY TUNED FOR A CHANCE TO ATTEND A FREE SCREENING HOSTED BY AIN'T IT COOL NEWS AND ACTUALLY MEET ADAM. I KNOW YOU ALL ARE JUMPING UP AND DOWN FOR THAT OPPORTUNITY. BUT MAYBE HE WILL SIGN YOUR DARK BACKWARDS OR CHASE DVD. I THINK THEY GO FOR ABOUT TWENTY BUCKS SIGNED ON E BAY.
WARNING: THE FOLLOWING BLOG CONTAINS MY PERSONAL OPINION, ME BEING TIM SULLIVAN, A LIBERAL HUMAN BEING WHO MAKES MOVIES, LOATHES THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION AND HAPPENS TO PREFER THE GUY NEXT STORE TO THE GIRL NEXT DOOR WHEN IT COMES TO ROMANTIC ENDEAVORS. IF ANY OF WHAT I HAVE JUST SAID OFFENDS YOU IN THE SLIGHTEST, PLEASE, FOR YOUR SAKE AND MINE, DO NOT READ FURTHER; DELETE ME AS YOUR FRIEND, BOYCOTT MY MOVIES AND FOR GOD'S SAKE, DO NOT SPIT YOUR VENOM IN MY DIRECTION. I WILL NOT ENGAGE IN YOUR HATEFUL NEGATIVITY, NOR LISTEN TO YOUR DAMNATION OF ME FOR WHOM I CHOOSE TO LOVE, NOR AGREE WITH ANY DEFENSE YOU MIGHT ISSUE FOR AN AMERICAN PRESIDENT WHO, FOR MY MONEY, CAN EASILY SIT SIDE BY SIDE WITH ADOLF HITLER AS ONE OF THE MOST EVIL MAGGOTS TO EVER LEAD A PEOPLE.
IF YOU ARE STILL WITH ME- THEN ROLL AND ROLL!
LET ME SAY THAT AGAIN!
ROCK AND FUCKING ROLL!
'CUZ TODAY, FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THE HISTORY OF THIS COUNTRY, GUYS WHO DIG GUYS AND CHICKS WHO DIG CHICKS AND WANT TO AFFIRM THAT RELATIONSHIP THROUGH THE LEGAL UNION OF MARRIAGE (A RIGHT ENJOYED AND TAKEN FOR GRANTED BY THOSE IN LOVE WITH THE OPPOSITE SEX) CAN FINALLY DO SO AND HAVE IT RECOGNIZED IN THE ENTIRE U S OF A! (I KNEW I MOVED TO CALLY FOR A REASON)
DO YOU HEAR THAT?
DO YOU REALLY UNDERSTAND HOW HISTORIC, HOW AMAZING, HOW INCREDIBLE THIS IS?
I KNOW MY GAY/QUEER/LESBIAN/BI BRETHREN OUT THERE SURE DO.
I GOTTA TELL YA- ALL MY LIFE I HAVE FELT SECOND RATE. LESS THAN OTHERS. A FREAK AND A MONSTER. I HAVE BEEN HIT WITH STONES BOTH PHYSICAL AND VERBAL. JUDGED. ALIENATED. CONDEMNED. BY FAMILY. FRIENDS. COLLEAGUES. PERHAPS THAT IS WHY I ALWAYS EMBRACED THE MONSTER. THE FRANKENSTEIN CREATURE REJECTED BY HIS OWN CREATOR… THE VAMPIRE WHO MUST EXPRESS HIS LOVE IN THE SHADOWS… THE JEKYLL TURNED HYDE AFTER A LIFETIME OF REPRESSED EMOTIONS… THE QUASIMODO MADE TO FEEL GROTESQUE FOR NOT LOOKING AND ACTING LIKE THE FLOCK OF THE CROWD… THE OPERA PHANTOM WHO WATCHES ALONE FROM THE CATACOMBS OF HIS SOUL WHILE OTHERS TAKE HIS LOVE SONG AND USE ITS LYRICS AND MELODY TO SECURE THEIR OWN HAPPINESS…
YES, IT ALWAYS MADE SENSE TO ME WHY I FOUND SOLACE IN KING KONG AND MONSTER MOVIES RATHER THAN MUHAMMAD ALI AND SPORTS. WHY I'VE ALWAYS ADVOCATED (AS I DID IN DRIFTWOOD) THAT THE REAL MONSTERS OF SOCIETY ARE THE ONES WE OURSELVES CREATE WHEN WE PREVENT OTHERS FROM BEING TRUE TO THEIR NATURE.
SO TO ALL MY STRAIGHT PALS OUT THERE- FORGIVE YOUR GAY BROTHERS AND SISTERS TODAY IF WE GLOAT A LITTLE, SHOUT A LITTLE AND PARTY A LITTLE. FOR TODAY, IN AN AMERICA WHERE A WOMAN JUST WENT THE FARTHEST A WOMAN HAS EVER GONE IN A POLITICAL RACE, WHERE A BLACK MAN IS BOUND TO BE OUR NEXT PRESIDENT, TODAY THE LAST MINORITY HAS FINALLY BEEN GIVEN THE RIGHT TO MARRY THEIR LOVED ONES.
I'M TALKING HOPE, PEOPLE. HOPE.
AFTER 8 YEARS OF SATAN AND HIS MINIONS RUNNING OUR COUNTRY, THE PENDULUM IS FINALLY SWINGING IN ANOTHER DIRECTION- A DIRECTION TOWARDS LOVE AND TOLERANCE AND ACCEPTANCE, EQUAL OPPORTUNITY AND … OH, NO…. COULD IT BE? AN AMERICA WHERE THE ACTIVE JOURNEY TOWARDS PEACE OVERSHADOWS THE WAR MONGERING AND PARALYSIS SHAPED BY FEAR?
HEY, MY FAVORITE HORROR MOVIE IS THE EXORCIST. WHY? BECAUSE THAT IS A FILM THAT NAILS ONE OF THE MAJOR TRUTHS OF THE UNIVERSE--
SOMETIMES IT TAKES BEING FUCKED BY THE DEVIL TO GET DOWN ON ONE'S KNEES BEFORE GOD.
IN OTHER WORDS-
THE BUSH PAST BEHIND US HAS YIELDED THE OBAMA FUTURE BEFORE US.
PSYCHO PHOTO SHOOT WITH DRIFTWOOD’S SCARY STUD CONNOR ROSS!
THANKS TO YOUR VOTES HE WON PRETTYSCARYCOM'S "SCARY STUD OF THE YEAR"! NOW, DRIFTWOOD'S CONNOR ROSS IS BACK AS THE SCARY STUD OF THE MONTH WITH A FOLLLOW-UP INTERVIEW AND A BRAND NEW PHOTO SHOOT RECREATING THE INFAMOUS SHOWER SCENE FROM "PSYCHO" AS PHOTOGRAPHED BY PAULA BURR AND DIRECTED BY TIM SULLIVAN.
YA GOTTA LOSE YOUR MIND IN DETROIT ROCK CITY! DON’T MISS LA SCREENING!
Of all the films of which I've been a part, none have been more joyous and personal than co-producing DETROIT ROCK CITY. As a life long KISS fan who snuck into the business in 1982 by pretending to be a journalist and scoring an interview with Gene Simmons for FANGORIA magazine, everything came together on this one project. My love and loyalty to the KISS Army, my 70's adolescence, my relationship with Gene, my then employment at New Line Cinema—and my burning desire to break out of the fifty dollar a script gig I was scrapping by on at the time reading analyzing every horrible script that crossed the development desks of New Line circa 1998.
When Gene flipped me Carl Dupre's pitch perfect screenplay at the Saturn Awards that June, asking if I could try and set it up at New Line, I knew I had a mission. I took it to Mike DeLuca, the studio's notorious bad boy and fellow KISS fan and movie geek. Having gone to NYU film school together back in the day, knowing his sensibilities and his uncanny balance of nostalgia and current commodity, I knew he would "get" it. And he did.
I handed him the script late June. By July we had a deal. By August, I had an office. In October we were shooting the film in Toronto. And I had a new title: ASSOCIATE PRODUCER. (No way I was gonna stand on the sidelines for that one- and thanks to Gene and Mike, they made sure of it. I will always owe them on that.)
The rest as they say, is KISSTORY (insert groan here).
We all made a movie that has become a beloved cult classic. And what cult classic doesn't begin life as a box office failure? We opened the week after SIXTH SENSE and BLAIR WITCH PROJECT. Everyone went and saw those two flicks.
But hey—it's not who you take to the prom, it's who you go home with.
And here we are- ten years after we all met and made this sucker. DETROIT ROCK CITY was my bridge to Plesant Valley and Driftwood. From Producer to Director. It gave me the spring board I waited so long for- but more importantly, it gave me the best creative expierinece of my life. Reliving the 70's on a daily basis. Working side by side with KISS, for God's sake. And forging lifelong friendships that ten years later are stronger than ever.
Lin Shaye has been in every one of my films. Adam Rifkin will be starring in the sequel to MANIACS along with Lex himself, Giuseppe Andrews. Barry Levine, who Gene brought on as lead producer, produced my last film DRIFTWOOD, and we are about to work together again with his new entertainment company, Blatant. Carl Dupre wrote one of the funniest scripts I have ever read, BATTLE OF THE BANDS that I hope to produce and direct. Editor and brother-from-another-mother Pete Schink became my anchor, my best bud- He wrote a horror flick called LEGION that Screen Gems starts shooting this month. Sammy. Eddie. Jimmy. Paul. Gene. Ace and Peter. They are all dear friends. A part of my life ever since. And always will be.
But it all begins with DETROIT ROCK CITY. And I am thrilled to be able to invite everyone to join me and Adam Rifkin and the rest of the gang on Thursday April 24th for a special screening of DRC at the Aero Theater in Santa Monica. I say special, cuz it's not just DRC we're talking about, we're talking about an Adam Rifkin Double Feature as Adam and Bill Paxton host a screening of Adam's dark masterpiece, THE DARK BACKWARD followed by a brand new 35mm widescreen presentation of DETROIT ROCK CITY!
Seen it on DVD or Showtime? You ain't seen nothing.
So get out your best 70's duds—do what ya gotta do to get in the mood— We want to see all your crazy DRC fans out there rocking and rolling with us—We want to hear you scream, laugh, and SHOUTING IT OUT LOUD!
We're not talking Captain and Tennile. We're not talking Bay City Rollers.
When: THURSDAY APRIL 24th 7:30 PM Adam Rifkin and Bill Paxton host DARK BACKWARD 9:30 PM Adam Rifkin & cast and crew host DETROIT ROCK CITY WHERE: American Cinematheque at the Aero Theatre 1328 Montana Ave.Santa Monica, CA 90403
A NEW CRYPT FOR COUNT YORGA : TIME TO TAKE CARE OF OUR OWN
Anyone who knows me at all knows what a HUGE fan I am of Count Yorga, or rather the fine actor and true gentleman who created the role, Mr. Robert Quarry.
Fellow fans of my generation can relate to the early 70's when American International gave us a new vampire to rival Christopher Lee, and for my money, the two films in which Quarry starred, COUNT YORGA VAMPIRE and RETURN OF COUNT YORGA, not only rival, but surpass nearly all of the Lee Dracula films.
Several years ago, I had the honor to meet and interview Robert for my Shock & Roll column at Upcoming Horror Movies. (If you missed it or would like to revisit, CLICK HERE TO READ MY INTERVIEW WITH ROBERT QUARRY NOW) After reading the piece, Frank Darabont, he himself a mega Yorga fan, got in touch with me and offered to have new prints struck of both Yorga films, which lead to Frank and I co-hosting a special YORGA double feature at the American Cinematheque. It was an amazing night for all, especially Robert, visibly moved by the large turnout and fan outpouring.
Since then, Robert's health has been up and down, and this past week, after 38 years of independence, Robert moved into the Motion Picture Country House, a community home for senior actors and actresses run by the Motion Picture Fund. It's a lovely place, with a wonderful staff, and an exceptional group of some of the greatest talents both behind and in front of the camera.
I thank God that a place like the Actor's Home exists, and I thank God that Bob is now a resident. For much to my horror and disgust, Bob, the regal Count Yorga, has spent the last few years victim of an evil that I wish I could say was uncommon, but sadly, it is not.
I refer to the VULTURE. The LEECH. The lonely, miserable "never was" who starts off as a fan, gets close to the aging celebrity, then, thru manipulation and bullying, makes the celebrity feel as if they would be helpless without them. Much like a battered wife or child, the celebrity feels afraid to speak up; fearful that this vulture is their only way to get to the doctor, the store etc… Often, the Vulture gains access to the celebrity's bank account, passing themselves off as an "assistant" or "manager". We are not talking about gold digging, but nickel and dime digging- stealing the dollars and postage stamps that fans send to have their items autographed and returned; taking valuable memorabilia under the guise of selling it on e-bay for the celebrity only to lie about the profits and horde them for themselves; or worse, actually charging the helpless celebrity for their time, their rides to the doctor; their assistance in moving. This devil, this leech, does its best to put a wedge between the celebrity and his or her true friends, doing their best to keep the lid on their crimes.
This past weekend, in the case of Robert, the lid was taken off, and Robert now has full access and full awareness of his true friends. And there are legion.
So yes, there is a happy ending to this story. The stake has been plunged thru the cold and soulless heart of the vulture in Robert's life. He is happy and thriving at the home. If you are a fan of Robert's, a fan of mine, or a horror fan in general, put your money where your mouth is, walk the talk and take a moment to help out one of our own.
Write a letter to Robert letting him know how much you loved him in the Yorga films, or DR. PHIBES RISES AGAIN, DEATHMASTER or MADHOUSE.
All fan mail can be sent to
ROBERT QUARRY C/O NEW REBELLION ENTERTAINMENT 1366 ½ RIVIERA AVENUE VENICE, CA 90291
Want an autograph? Go ahead and ask for it—But while you're asking, please give as well. Cuz sad to say, that vulture left very little for Robert to bring to his new digs- and so he's starting from scratch. Not exactly a fun thing to be doing at age 82, but if every horror fan gave just a little, that Crypt would be fully stacked in no time.
Gifts can be sent to Robert at the above address, or we've set up two CRYPT WARMING registries for Bob- One at Target, one at Amazon. Take your pick! Just click on the sites and go shopping for Uncle Bob- Make sure you send a note so he knows who sent what and can send a thank you.
Us horror folk know what it's like to be an outsider and alone, and I'll be DAMNED if someone like Robert Quarry should ever feel anything but loved and appreciated.
Sadly, Robert's story is not unique. There are many Leeches and Vultures out there preying on our senior brothers and sisters. If you know of any- step in and stop it.
DRIFTWOOD WINS SATURN NOMINATION FOR BEST HORROR DVD
I AM THRILLED TO ANNOUNCE THAT THE ACADEMY OF SCIENCE FICTION AND HORROR HAS SEEN FIT TO HONOR "DRIFTWOOD" WITH A SATURN AWARD NOMINATION FOR BEST HORROR DVD!
I CANNOT BEGIN TO EXPRESS WHAT AN HONOR THIS IS. THE ACADEMY IS A VERITABLE INSTITUTION AND BEST FRIEND TO ANYONE WORKING IN THE GENRE.
FOR YEARS I HAVE ATTENDED THE SATURNS AS FAN AND FRIEND, WATCHING IN AWE OF THE TALENT THAT HAS GRACED THE STAGE, AND HEARTENED BY THE WARMTH AND SUPPORT OF THOSE WHO CREATED AND NURTURED THE ACADEMY ALL THESE YEARS, SUCH AS BELOVED FOUNDER AND ETERNAL PRESIDENT DOCTOR DONALD REED, AND HIS STALWART SUCCESSOR ROBERT HOLGUIN.
AS YOU KNOW, "DRIFTWOOD" REMAINS AN IMPORTANT AND PERSONAL FILM TO ME- SO IN ACKNOWLEDGING THE FILM, I FEEL THE ACADEMY HAS ALSO ACKNOWLEDGED ALL THOSE SILENCED KIDS WHO HAVE BEEN SENT TO HELLACIOUS PLACES SUCH AS DRIFTWOOD, KIDS WHO NEVER GOT THE CHANCE TO CELEBRATE THEIR INDIVIDUALITY, WHICH, OF COURSE, IS THE DIRECT OPPOSITE OF WHAT THE ACADEMY STANDS FOR- A CELEBRATION OF ALL THOSE OUTSIDE THE MAINSTREAM.
A GREAT MANY HAVE PUT THEIR HEART AND SOUL INTO "DRIFTWOOD", AND BECAUSE OF THAT "COLLECTIVE SOUL", WE ARE NOW SO HONORED. WHAT A GREAT WAY TO HEAD INTO THE FILM'S UPCOMING INTERNATIONAL RELEASE. I THANK YOU ALL.
THIS YEAR'S SATURN AWARDS ON JUNE 24TH WILL BE ONE I WILL NEVER FORGET.
FIRE UP THOSE BBQ'S! IT'S GONNA BE ONE HELLUVA BBQ!!!!!!!
THAT'S RIGHT! THE MANIACS ARE COMING TO TEXAS FOR FEAR FEST 2!
TIM SULLIVAN AND CAST MEMBERS ROBERT ENGLUND, LIN SHAYE, RYAN "HUCKLEBILLY" FLEMING AND BRAND NEW MANIAC AMY "SCARLET RED" BANIECKI WILL BE ON HAND ALL WEEKEND TO MEET AND GREET, POSE FOR PICTURES AND SIGN COPIES OF THE MANIACS DVD AND BRAND NEW COMIC BOOK!
AND DID WE MENTION A SATURDAY AFTERNOON PANEL SPILLING THE BEANS ON THE UPCOMING SEQUEL "BEVERLY HELLBILLYS" FOLLOWED BY….
…..AN ULTRA RARE 35mm MIDNIGHT MADNESS SCREENING OF 2001 MANIACS ON SATURDAY NIGHT HOSTED BY THE ENTIRE GANG?!??!?!?!
YEE HAW IS RIGHT!
AND AS IF THAT WEREN'T ENOUGH FOR Y'ALL, SULLIVAN WILL BE JOINED ON SUNDAY BY THE MAN HIMSELF, DIAMOND DALLAS PAGE, FOR A SPECIAL PANEL AND SCREENING OF THEIR LATEST FILM, "DRIFTWOOD"
'Twas the night before Xmas 1985… I made a little 16mm holiday short that planted the dark and twisted seeds that would inevitably yield the harvest of 2001 MANIACS. 21 years later, come holiday time, those who have seen it still ask me about this Yuletide nightmare and those who haven't ask me how they can.
Well, kiddies, courtesy of my buddy Brad, here is a Bloody Disgusting.com exclusive from me to you with deep, deep thanks for an amazing year filled with Pleasant Valley maniacs and Driftwood ghosts.
Hey All— In case the character of George W Buckman in 2001 MANIACS didn't make it clear, I am NOT a fan of our current President. I love my country. I honor and support our troops. But I DO NOT support this War, and I do not support our commander in chief's blatant disregard for what the majority of this country wants- and that is an END, not a continuation of the war.
Many of you reading this, who are MANIACS and DRIFTWOOD fans, are in the teen years. Once our "volunteer" Army dries up when people stop volunteering to go die in Iraq, a draft could prove inevitable. And then who do you think will be going off to DIE for George W. Bush's "indefinite" War?
YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have never been afraid to speak my mind and put my beliefs out there, and I am sure I will take many hits for my stance- But thank God I am not alone. I just got the following email from none other than Captain Spaulding himself- Sid Haig. So read it- and ACT. And SPREAD THE WORD.
Dear Tim-
GW is at it again. We should call for the impeachment of this asshole before he takes us all down just as he has done to all of his appointed cronies. Have you seen the news? President Bush is negotiating a deal with Iraq to keep our troops there indefinitely--it could include permanent bases and a massive military presence for years! Bush is trying to tie the hands of the next president.
Congress can stop him from setting up permanent bases in Iraq and block an indefinite occupation--but they need to hear a groundswell of pressure from us immediately and loudly so they act on this quickly.
I just signed a petition demanding that Congress stop the president from committing to a massive military presence in Iraq for decades. Can you join me?
