CineMayhem 2014 Presents: Clive Barker's HELLRAISER with Surprise Guest Doug Bradley

For our final evening of CineMayhem 2014, those in attendance were treated to a surprise visit from none other than HELLRAISER star and horror icon, Doug Bradley who dropped by the Jumpcut Cafe in Studio City to introduce Clive Barker's visionary feature film debut and discuss his experiences in the world of Pinhead over the last few decades now.

Doug was incredibly gracious with his time and spent a good deal of time chatting about growing up with Clive, his early career and the path to playing Pinhead in the original HELLRAISER, how the character and his story has evolved throughout the franchise and so much more.

Check out Doug's highly entertaining discussion of all things HELLRAISER below and be sure to stick around to the end for a very special video tribute to CineMayhem's special guest and the franchise he's poured his heart and soul into for the last 28 years.

CineMayhem 2014 Presents: VAMP Cast & Crew Reunion Q&A Featuring Robert Rusler, Richard Wenk & DeDee Pfeiffer

On Saturday, March 30th, CineMayhem Film Fest celebrated the criminally underrated horror comedy VAMP which premiered in theaters the summer of 1986. Co-written and directed by Richard Wenk (The Expendables, The Mechanic), VAMP starred Chris Makepeace, Robert Rusler, Gedde Watanabe, Sandy Baron and the otherworldly Grace Jones.

For CineMayhem's VAMP screening, we had planned for our special guest Rusler to join us for a pre-screening Q&A; little did we know he was going to bring along a few friends- the aforementioned Wenk, Pfeiffer and co-writer/producer Donald P. Borchers- for an incredible reunion Q&A event.

Check out the highlights from the VAMP Q&A below!

CineMayhem 2014 Presents: John Carpenter & THE FOG Video Highlights

Last Friday, CineMayhem Film Fest 2014 kicked off at Jumpcut Cafe with an incredible discussion of the 1980 classic horror film THE FOG with none other than co-writer/director John Carpenter. For those of you who were unable to join us for the festivities, we've put together video highlights from the Q&A panel below.

Special thanks to Sandy King Carpenter for joining us at CineMayhem 2014 as well- truly an honor to have them both with us for this great evening celebrating classic indie horror.

CineMayhem Film Fest- A Conversation with John Carpenter (Part Two)

A few years ago, I had the opportunity to sit down with John Carpenter who graciously chatted about his entire career- from DARK STAR to THE WARD and everything in-between. It was incredible and there aren't many times in your life where you get to sit down with your heroes and just let them talk.

And with CineMayhem less than a week away, I thought now was the perfect time to share this interview again with everyone as we gear up to celebrate THE FOG this Friday at Jumpcut Cafe.
