This weekend I discovered a truly kick ass thing. A quote from my review of the truly awesome Dear God No! is on the ad for the DVD in the current June 2012 issue of Fangoria #314! Other fellow horror bloggers are also quoted. I have to say this made my day. I've had two letter printed in Fango when I was younger, I've had an interview printed in it, and now this! Who knows what's next!

Hailed as an “unapologetic homage
to classic grindhouse cinema” by DailyGrindHouse.com, DEAR
GOD NO! was shot on
Super 16MM film, using equipment from the era, to
ensure an authentic throwback to 70’s exploitation films. The film
follows outlaw motorcycle gang The Impalers through a murder spree
that ends in a home invasion gone terribly wrong when they attack two
graduate
students, a disgraced Anthropologist and his teenage daughter. A
demonic creature in the woods, a deadly
secret in the basement, rivers of blood and abundant nudity add to the
surprises
that are sure to thrill genre fans. Dear God No! features original music
by The 45's, The Biters, The Booze and poster/DVD
artwork by The Dude Designs.
DEAR GOD NO! was released theatrically in 2011 to rave reviews
from horror enthusiasts and critics as
well as festivals, taking home honors that include:
- Winner Best Exploitation Film – Arizona Underground Film

DEAR
GOD NO! is Big World Pictures’ signature launching title for a series of films
currently in pre-production appealing to
nostalgic collectors yearning to see fun genre trash shot on film.
“We’re looking to produce,
unearth and distribute a specific type of film that reminds us of the wonderful
American drive-ins of the 70s and 80s. DEAR
GOD NO! is the perfect piece of cinema to kick start this venture and usher in
a wave of throwback films reminiscent of those we would have seen in a triple
feature under the stars with our best girl on a hot summer night,” says Founder
James Bickert.
Big World Pictures is currently
in pre-production for the forthcoming FRANKENSTEIN CREATED BIKERS and REBEL
HELL. The company plans to continue shooting on film with vintage cameras and
providing the outrageous entertainment audiences loved from DEAR GOD NO!
“We’re trying to avoid the
zombie and paranormal craze and offer audiences an alternative reel of fun
retro flicks. We call it suds cinema that leads to a party breaking out with
your friends. We’ll be diving into Hicksploitation, Girl Gangs and bringing
back the monster suit. Our mission is to make the films we always wanted to see
with no compromises and hope they find an audience.”

Getting back to the aforementioned issue of Fango my long time friend, one of the sweetest people in the world, and one of the horror genre's greatest actresses is on the cover: Debbie Rochon!!! I am so happy to see her on it. She deserves all the success she's got. Aside from her good heart and devotion to the genre, she's been through a lot and Lord knows she busts her ass.
Cheers to you Debbie, my dear friend!
So, do me, and even more so her, a solid and go pick up this awesome issue, please!
