This Halloween, the Soska Sisters' Third Original Horror Film, ON THE EDGE, Will Have Its World Premiere at Frightfest!

Beloved guests of FRIGHTFEST, the iconic Canadian twin filmmaking team, the Soska Sisters, return this Halloween with tricks and treats — the world debut of their latest horror offering, ON THE EDGE. This is both the third original film from the Twisted Twins and will be their third time returning to FRIGHTFEST which also premiered AMERICAN MARY and their remake of David Cronenberg’s RABID. 

Taking a departure from medical horror, the Soska Sisters delve into new ground with this tantalizing psychological erotic thriller.

ON THE EDGE follows family man Peter who gets more than he paid for when he books a 36 hour session with the sadistic Mistress Satana who seems more intent on making him suffer for his sins. Is it blackmail? Is it torture? Or is it the Devil come for his soul? Will Peter’s faith save him from his own personal Hell or is he already damned? 

Glenn Burchnall, President and CEO of Cathasaigh Productions Limited, (“Cathasaigh”) commented: 

“On The Edge is a brilliant depiction of how Kink Culture can heal past trauma and be a source for redemption. Here at Cathasaigh we heartily congratulate the Soska Sisters on this achievement, and are grateful for the opportunity to participate in this amazing project.”

Starring as Peter is Aramis Sartorio also known as adult film star Tommy Pistol. Returning to the screen are both Soska Sisters. Sylvia Soska as Claire, Peter’s loving wife. And Jen Soska as deviously delightful Mistress Satana. Rounding up the all star Canadian supporting cast are identical twin sisters, Brianne and Alanna Finn-Morris who also have a band together called Fionn, Album of the Year Comedy album winner, Andrea Jin, Canada’s Got Talent Semi Finalist comedian Ola Dada, Juno Winner Ivan Decker, and the iconic Mackenzie Gray returns to work with the Soska Twins after captivating audiences as Gunter in RABID. 

“As an actor, working with artists of Jen & Sylvia’s caliber was incredible. This movie will be as horrifying for you as it was for me. But, people who are familiar with my other work… will agree that it really was my turn to suffer for your amusement,” boldly exclaims Aramis Sartorio.

Also returning is life long Soska Sisters collaborator Kevvy, who has been the musical creative force behind their films. The four time Juno winner and lead singer of Fake Shark with their single, Loser, currently in the Billboard Top 20, Kevvy is back with an all new original soundtrack and score as well as taking a turn in the producer seat. 

Having met at FRIGHTFEST, the talented up and coming cinematographer and editor, Luna Wolf joins the production team. This being her highly anticipated debut feature. 

Directed, written, and produced by the Soska Sisters. ON THE EDGE was produced by Cathasaigh Productions, Twisted Twins Productions, Disturbia Films, and Black Mamba Pictures. 

Incorporated in 2022 Cathasaigh is a Canadian media company focused on the development of Independent Canadian film, television and visual art productions. Our mission is to provide artists the ability , opportunity and freedom to create projects that freely express who they are while being true to themselves,and their vision of the world around them.

The Most Beautiful Women of 2019, Part 7: 10-1

10. Madeline Petsch (last year #11)- No matter how ridiculous or over the top Riverdale gets the gorgeous Petsch always achieves amazing performances. Especially this season where she really managed to pull at my heart, make me laugh, and make us all fall even more in love with her.

9. Maria Gabriela de Faria (new)- The breathtaking star (those eyes!!) of SyFy's unjustly cancelled Deadly Class is a site to behold. The Venezuelan de Faria is one of most impossibly beautiful women around. Here is hoping we see more of this stunner, as she has a very good chance at moving up the list if we do.

8. Kenzie Taylor (last year #36)- Kenzie skyrockets into the top 10 position as she continues to appear in smoldering adult movies. In particular is the beautiful blonde's appearance in one of the year's best adult features Captain Marvel XXX, a film from the prolific and awesome Axel Braun. One that is better than the Hollywood movie it parodies. Kenzie, of course, plays the title character. She does so with more charisma and looks even more beautiful than the lovely Brie Larson, herself!

7. Laura Legends (new)- The second biggest debut on this list this time around comes from this absolutely gorgeous and awesome Canadian YouTube personality. There are other pretty ladies who have YouTube channels dedicated to toy collecting. But, in my very humble opinion they lack the combination of charisma, beauty, sweetness, humor, and knowledge that makes Legends my favorite. I look forward to every new video she posts on her fucking AWESOME channel!

6. Dani Daniels (last year same)- Perhaps the greatest performer in the current era of the adult business, the sexy and breathtaking Dani Daniels holds on strong to her sixth position and our hearts.

5. Lili Reinhart (last year #4)- Facing stiff competition, the stunning Reinhart drops a spot down the list but only barely. As Betty on Riverdale, she remains one of television's most truly beautiful women. And, her acting is as great as ever, continuing to give the series many of it's biggest and best highlights.

4. Aubrey Plaza (new)- The biggest debut on this list comes courtesy of the lovely Ms. Plaza. Her turn as Andy's mom in Child's Play (the year's most pleasant surprise) was great! She added pathos, fun, and beauty to the role, which became one of my favorite final girls of 2019. It also helped her become one of this site's official Horror Crushes!

3. Jessica Rothe (last year ranked 2017- #2)- Rothe returned as one of the greatest final girls ever, Tree, in the amazing and terribly underrated Happy Death Day 2U (which is one of the year's best horror movies). Once again, she was beautiful, sexy, hot, funny, and badass in it! Rothe needs to be in every horror movie!

2. Bella Thorne (last year ranked 2017- #9)- Taking the runner up spot is one of the sexiest mainstream actresses ever! Ms. Thorne released a poetry book, went on a tour (where I met her!) promoting it, and most awesome of all, directed a porn, Him & Her, for PornHub!! It starred Small Hands and fellow list maker the gorgeous Abella Danger! Plus, Thorne was inducted into the Horror Crush section, this even before knowing that she is gonna direct a horror movie herself! The sky is the limit for her (and her future position on this list!)!

1. Jen & Sylvia Soska (last year #3)- Taking the top spot are the immensely talented, awesome as fuck, and beautiful Twisted Twins, Jen and Sylvia Soska! Their long awaited remake of David Cronenberg's cult classic, Rabid, played limited release and is currently on On Demand. And, earlier year, at Monster-Mania, I conducted an exclusive and awesome interview with them. For all of this and more, they rightfully rule the list!






The Rest of the List:
The 70 Most Beautiful Women of 2019, Part 1: 70-61
The 70 Most Beautiful Women of 2019, Part 2: 60-51
The 70 Most Beautiful Women of 2019, Part 3: 50-41
The 70 Most Beautiful Women of 2019, Part 4: 40-31
The 70 Most Beautiful Women of 2019, Part 5: 30-21
The 70 Most Beautiful Women of 2019, Part 6: 20-11

And, so concludes the 2019 list of the 70 Most Beautiful Women. Regular work has left me backlogged on various posts (including more NYCC, WinterCon, and the best metal/ hard rock album and movies of 2019). They are all coming, so please be patient. And, thank you for all of your support last year, before, and beyond. You all humble me with it. I wish you all a very Happy New Year and may 2020 be a fucking awesome year for us all!

(Video) Exclusive Interview with the Soska Sisters at Monster-Mania March 2019!

At the March 2019 edition of Monster-Mania in Cherry Hill, I had the fucking awesome pleasure of conducting a very special and exclusive interview with the always kick ass and multi-talented horror masters, the Twisted Twins, Jen and Sylvia Soska. We talked their hotly anticipated remake of David Cronenberg's classic Rabid. We also got to talk a little bit about their current, badass run writing Black Widow for Marvel Comics.

Monster-Mania: March 2019

On March 9, 2019, my friends, Freddie and Alan (his first time at this con!) headed out to Cherry Hill in New Jersey for the March 2019 edition of Monster-Mania. Needless to say, we had a fucking blast!

This was as hot as a con can get, with Saturday tickets having been sold out in advance. Thankfully, the three of us got ours beforehand. The place was packed, though it would begin to thin out by around 4 or so. 

Anyway, as one would expect certain lines were super long, for example the ones for Neve Campbell and Fairuza Balk were crazy ass long! They were part of The Craft reunion. This was the first time all four of them were doing a con together. Balk was always my favorite in the film, but her line was too much for me to wait (at least two hours from what I heard). I wanted to enjoy myself and had business to conduct, anyway.

I did get the other two actress though, beginning with still beautiful Rachel True. I cannot believe that she is 52, as she clearly does not age! And, best of all, she was so awesome in person! I told her how happy it made me to have all of them at the con. I also talked with her about the amazing Shudder documentary about blacks in, Horror Noire. When she took the pic with me she grabbed my arm and said, "Someone works out!" I said, "Yes, I do!" I can honestly say that this made my year. I can die a happy man! As a matter of fact, True is so awesome in person, that I was dying laughing getting my pic with her!

The next and last person I went up to was the beautiful Robin Tunney. She was very sweet and down to earth in person and even more beautiful! Here eyes are absolutely stunning!

Here is my signed, by them, The Craft DVD. I had pre-ordered the new Scream Factory Blu-ray, but alas it has not come in yet. So, I guess I am keeping my DVD when that disc arrives, which honestly speaking, should be super soon.

After that I has spent so much on autographs that I just deiced to enjoy the con. Here are just some of my favorite cosplays that I saw at the con.

And, here is the swag I bought at the con. They are:
a Fright-Rags Poltergeist tee (bought at their booth, of course)
an Aliens patch for my battle-jacket
on Blu-ray: 
Audition (Arrow Video Edition)
Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer
Trailer Trauma 4: Television Trauma
and a Funko Pop Metallica Lady Justice toy

Below you will see me getting ready for my interview with the always amazing Soska twins. It was conducted after their awesome panel. I'll be posting it soon, so keep your eyes open for it!

That's it for now. I will probably be going to NJ Horror Con (for the first time ever!) this Saturday, so if you are there be sure to say hi!

(Video) My Blu-ray & DVD Collection Part 2: The Letters B-E

This is the second part of my series featuring my Blu-ray and DVD collection. But first in the video, I show you guys one of my signed titles, Alfred Alfer, from the letter "A" that I missed (this happens when you have so many...).  From there, I go right into letters B-E. Like last time, I show and talk about some favorites/ noteworthy titles of mine, as well as autographed discs. This is one of the rare sections, in my collection, with an adult film (in this case Dark Chambers signed by the gorgeous and legendary, late, great Marilyn Chambers), as most of those are kept completely separate from my main collection.

You can see the video below:

As with last time please share, your collections with me in the comments section below.

(Video) My Blu-ray & DVD Collection Part 1: Some Sets, TV Shows, & the Letter A

This is something I have been thinking about doing, forever, and that is showing my Blu-ray and DVD collection on a series of videos. My collection is massive and ever growing. Movies, especially horror films, are my life. I love to buy physical media (SORRY, I do not do digital downloads).

In this first of a multiple part series, I will show you some box sets, TV shows, and all of the letter "A". Within these sections, I also show which ones are signed, as well as, talk a little about some discs and my thoughts, here and there.

Be sure to show me any links to pics and/ or vids of your collection in the comments section. I LOVE seeing other people's collections, which is why I wanted to share mine.

The video is below. Enjoy!

The 70 Hottest Babes of 2017, Pt. 7, 10-1

10. Romi Rain (last year same)- Gorgeous Romi Rain retains her top ten spot after another successful year that included, among other highlights, award nominations and victories, hosting the Inked Awards, and playing Wonder Woman in Axel Braun's Justice League XXX porn parody.








9. Bella Thorne (new)- Bella means beautiful in Italian, and that is something that Bella Thorne most definitely is. While, I had heard of her before, it wasn't until seeing her in Netflix horror/ comedy The Babysitter that she really caught my attention, even more so after playing tonsil hokey with fellow list babe, Samara Weaving. But, I crushed even harder on her after seeing her in the movie that surprised me the most with how good it is. this year: Amityville: The Awakening. The goth look on her is just breathtaking! I hope she does more horror movies in very near future!

8. Mandy Muse (new)- In a very short period of time, Mandy Muse has become one of my utmost favorites in the adult industry. She is an amazing performer, one that fucks red hot on camera. She is heart stoppingly beautiful and sexy as fucking hell. Mandy's all natural body is breathtaking, with one of the best asses in God's green Earth. She also provided with one of my popular and, downright, sexy interviews of this year at Exxxotica. I fucking LOVE Mandy Muse!






7. Lili Reinhart (new)- Betty from the Archie comics is a babe. And, so is the actress who plays her on the dark and fascinating Riverdale, Lili Reinhart. She perfectly captures her wholesome beauty, but she also knows how to unleash pure, unbridaled sexuality when playing her character's bad girl side, Dark Betty. Want proof? Check out her striptease from a few episodes ago.






6. Lily James (new)- I first was enchanted by Lily James in the underrated Pride & Prejudice & Zombies. But, it is in this year's Baby Driver, one of the year's best movies, that she truly stole my heart. She plays our title hero's love interest, and like, he did, we fall in love with her, as well.

5. Deborah Ann Woll (last year #6)- The beautiful Deborah Ann Woll moves up one spot thanks to be being both on Defenders and The Punisher, as Karen Page. In the later series, her character's relationship with Frank Castle (AKA the Punisher, himself) is one of the most captivating in the Marvel live action universe.



4. Ana de Armas (new)- In the magnificent Blade Runner 2049, the heart-stoppingly gorgeous Ana de Armas plays Joi, the holographic/ AI lover, of the lead character Officer K (Ryan Gosling). And, she is so perfect, so painfully beautiful, that I wished that this technology could be a real thing. Her talent adds so much heart to the character that you begin to care about her and their relationship. even though, she isn't flesh and blood alive.






3. Dani Daniels (last year same)- Dani Daniels may not be shooting anymore movies, but she rules the cam world and still feature dances. She remains one of the industry's most truly gorgeous women, as well as my personal favorite.



2. Jessica Rothe (new)- Jessica Rothe played Tree the lead character in one of the year's most truly fun movies, Happy Death Day. She looked absolutely gorgeous and, best of all, was the best final girl of the year. In fact, she is one of the best final girls of the last few years. I crushed hard on her after this movie and wondered if I should go back to college and look for a Tree of mine own! In all seriousness, Rothe is fucking awesome and is the breakthrough star of 2017!

1. Jen & Sylvia Soska (last year #4)- After years of being on the list, many times moving up in it, the Twisted Twins, Jen and Sylvia Soska, finally take the top spot! This year they had many convention appearances, including MonsterMania, where they gave me one of my most popular and very best interviews if 2017! They also further moved along with their remake of David Cronenberg's Rabid. On top of that, they appeared on the Shudder network. All of this amounts to two of the hardest working and most talented filmmakers in all of horrordom. This isn't even mentioning their social media posts which are some the best on the entire net. Of course, it goes without saying that they are absolutely beautiful. I could go on and on, but the point is that they having this top spot is long overdue! All hail the impossibly gorgeous and awesome as fucking hell Twisted Twins, your queens of 2017!

(Video) Interview with The Twisted Twins: Jen and Sylvia Soska at Monster-Mania, Aug. 2017

Last weekend, at the August 2017 edition of Monster-Mania, I got to catch up with the always awesome, multi-talented, and beautiful Twisted Twins, Jen and Sylvia Soska. It had been a few years since I last see either of them. As such, I was ecstatic as soon as I found out that they would be at this convention. This would be their East-Coast horror convention debut (previously they had only done New York Comic Con). On the day of the con, I had the pleasure to conduct a brand new, little interview with them. They talked with us about the AVN Awards, their involvement in helping cast Axel Braun's upcoming Deadpool XXX, their own upcoming remake of David Cronenberg's Rabid, Hellevator, and more.
You can see it in the video below:

Monster-Mania Aug. 2017

On August 19, 2017, my good friend, and one of the Master's Minions, Freddie and I, headed over to Cherry Hill for another edition of Monster-Mania!! This was an awesome experience, from start to finish, and, overall, ranks among my favorite con experiences, which is a lot!

The first celeb that I went up to was the beautiful Alison Lohman. I know her best from one of my favorite horror movies of the last couple of years, Sam Raimi's Drag Me to Hell. She played the lead in it and was great! You may also know her from White Oleander were she looked especially breathtaking as a goth chick, among other roles that she has done. She was so sweet and talkative in person, as she told us about how great it was working with Raimi, and the usage of, mostly, practical FX. She is also so naturally beautiful! Lohman signed my Blu-ray copy of Drag Me to Hell. I was so happy to meet her as she was one of the two that I most wanted to meet for the first time.

The other person I most wanted to meet the most was the still gorgeous Daphne Zuniga. Many will best know this talented stunner from Melrose Place or from the Mel Brooks comedy Spaceballs. But, my favorite role of hers in the oh so fun sequel The Fly II. I actually asked her about it, and she told me that she could talk more about it more at her panel later in the day. But, she did tell me that she was already friends with Eric Stolz before shooting the flick. She is very sweet and seemed to be having a lot of fun at the con, as she was all smiles. I got to get a pic with her.

And, so a little later we did attend her panel, where she talked about being cast in Melrose Place, and how great it was to work with Mel Brooks, how she improved the scene where the laser blast messes up her hair, and more. She also mentioned that John Candy was so nice in person. I asked her about The Fly II, of course, and she spoke of how she got the role, thanks to Brooks, as it was produced by him. She also told us about emoting as Eric Stolz turned into a fly monster, and of how good an actor Stolz is, even, under all that makeup. She mentioned how he liked it with makeup FX, having done Mask, a little before this one. This most also be the first time were she not only talked about those movies, but also the cult flicks The Dorm that Dripped Blood and The Initiation, since they came out, if not ever! But, she looked liked she had a great time answering all the questions and reminiscing about her career.

Later, I went up to Lloyd Kaufman, at the Troma booth. Uncle Lloyd is always such a blast in person! I got Troma's War, which I had finally upgraded to Blu-ray, which he signed. He also signed my copy of Return to Nuke 'Em High Vol. 1, which was already signed by much of the cast. I got pic with him, and, of course, Toxie!

I finally met PJ Soles! Best known for roles in classics like Halloween, Carrie, Rock N' Roll High School, and The Devil's Rejects, she is truly one of the sweetest celebs ever! She liked my Fright-Rags Jaws shirt, which is freaking, no make that ''totally'', awesome! Next, time that she is at a con, I gotta bring my Halloween Blu-ray with me, so that she can sign it.

There was also  more cosplay than I usually see at this con. Here are two of my favorites:

How fucking awesome is this The Shining family cosplay?! This has to be one of the greatest group cosplays ever! LOVE this!!

This Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom couple cosplay is EVERYTHING!

After a couple of years, it was great to see the Twisted Twins, Jen and Sylvia Soska, again! I got to interview them, and that will be posted when it is edited and ready. Until, then here is a pic of us, from this con.

Finally, I thought I would share with you guys the swag that I got:

Fright-Rags- Aliens socks

Blu-rays- Creepshow 2, Beyond the Darkness, Troma's War, and Burial Ground

Funko Pops- Stranger Things Eleven with Eggos and Masters of the Universe Trap-Jaw.
