Yaira #1 is a 90-page graphic novel that promises to wow audiences with stunning cinematic action throughout and answer burning questions about The Rippaverse's resident frosty femme fatale! Alongside this release comes the kind of surprise for the fans The Rippaverse is becoming to be known by-- the company's first live action trailer directed by the Soska Sisters and starring Keeya King (Yellowjackets, Van Helsing), Andre Anthony (Scream VI, The Night Agent), Maia Jae Bastidas (Gen V, Festival of the Living Dead), Mackenzie Gray (Legion, Rabid), and introducing Morgan Boot as Yaira herself.

In a time where the superhero scene has started to grow stagnant, The Rippaverse is showing everyone that putting the creative power back in the hands of the fans is proving to be the answer to bringing excitement and enthusiasm back into the comic book business.

The YAIRA #1 pre order campaign will close May 26th. While it's off to a record breaking start, reaching One Million Dollars before even best-seller ISOM #1 did, you still have plenty of time to see what all the buzz is about-- https://rippaverse.com/store/yaira-1-campaign/yaira-1/

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!

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!

The 70 Most Beautiful Women of 2018, Part 7: 10-1

10. Rose McIver- (last year #25)-  iZombie's beautiful Rose McIver moves up several spots up into the top ten thanks to a wonderful season of the genre show. It sucks then that next year we have what will be the show's final season.




9. Amy Forsyth- (last year #22)-  Slasher flick Hellfest was the very definition of middle of the road. A disappointing movie all around, one of its major (and few) saving graces was the gorgeous Amy Forsyth. Throughout the whole movie she is the ONLY likable character in this mostly forgettable  stalk and slash flick.



8. Mandy Muse- (last year same)- Mandy Muse continues her ever rising popularity in the adult industry. Of course, with her natural beauty and nuclear level hotness and sexiness, this is bound to be the case. Not to mention her backside, which might be the greatest on God's green Earth.








7. Evan Rachel Wood- (last year ranked 2016 #5)- Westworld finally came back this year with a hell of a mindfuck. Evan Rachel Wood's Delores was a big part of it all. But, let us hope that this is not the last we have seen of this beauty on this, one of the greatest science fiction shows ever!







6. Dani Daniels- (last year #3)- Dani Daniels may not be shooting movies, but she is always shooting cam content for CamSoda and has many other projects, includingo (but not limited to) her own clothing line and her own series on Amazon Prime Dinner with Dani! She remains as sexy, fun, and beautiful as ever!







5. Deborah Ann Woll- (last year same)- The gorgeous Deborah Ann Woll keeps her spot thanks to her performance in what unfairly ended up being the final season of Daredevil. Let us hope we get a little more of her as Karen Page in next year's season of Punisher, before that ends too...


4. Lili Reinhart- (last year #7)- Inching ever closer to the top is the stunning Lili Reinhart, whose portrayal of Betty on Riverdale makes her, easily, my second favorite character on that show.









3. Jen & Sylvia Soska- (last year #1)- Last year's winners were busy shooting their hotly anticipated remake of David Cronenberg's Rabid, and also wrote a comic-book story for Marvel Comics. Expect big things next year as we hopefully get to see that remake, the release of the Black Widow comic that they wrote, and they will be making the horror convention circuit, including Monster-Mania (which I hope to be attending).


2. Ella Hunt- (new)- Horror rules the top three this year with the runner up going to this stunningly beautiful British actress. The young beauty proved she could act and sign with the best of them in this year's amazing Christmas/ horror/ comedy/ musical/ zombie flick Anna and the Apocalypse!








1. Matilda Anna Ingrid Lutz- (new)- Making her debut at number (a first for this list, not counting the first edition), is this gorgeous Italian born German actress and model. Her amazing performance in the brutal and beautifully lensed Revenge has already cemented her in horror history. With her breath-taking beauty (the camera adores this woman) and breakthrough performance as the lead in this phenomenal rape-revenge horror flick, Lutz cemented her placement on this list from the moment I saw said movie.

The Soska Sisters

The Soska Sisters are Canadian twin badasses who didn't like what they saw in the entertainment industry and took it upon themselves to fix it. After initially setting out to be actresses and finding themselves auditioning for too many stereotypical roles, they decided to create their own film with empowered female characters, a film that would change the indie scene forever, DEAD HOOKER IN A TRUNK. Content with being outsiders, they followed up their grindhouse hit with the stylized, body modification tale, AMERICAN MARY, which cemented their place as a pair to be watched. Always ones to break new ground and keep audiences guessing, they went on to become the first female directors hired by the WWE and resurrected the SEE NO EVIL 2 franchise with WWE Superstar Kane and followed it up with VENDETTA which turned heart throb Dean Cain into a vengeful cop turned convict hellbent on bringing down WWE's The Big Show. Huge personalities on and off camera, this dynamic duo captured the attention of Blumhouse and followed in the hostessing footsteps of their heroine Elvira to host their survival horror game show, Hellevator. And while the two seek to create better and more diversified roles for women in entertainment, their strong and vocal support for causes of gender equality and LGBTQ rights is just one facet of their filmmaking careers.

For the love of God go donate some fucking blood, please and thank you. People are dying without it and you'll probably need some some day or someone you love will so go be a hero. Save some lives. Do good. After all, it's in you to give.

Look for a NEW WiHM Massive Blood Drive PSA every day with the last one appearing on February 28th.

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:
