La Spina Del Diavolo Italian One Sheet.
“The living will always be more dangerous than the dead.”
This week on Scary Movie Saturday – we thought we would spotlight the work of the man who is arguably the best horror filmmaker actively making horror films today – Guillermo Del Toro. Most fans are familiar with Del Toro’s mainstream work such as Hellboy, Blade II or Mimic – but we want to take a look at one of his smaller, more personal projects - El Espinazo Del Diablo or The Devil’s Backbone if you prefer the English title. We’ve discussed Del Toro and his works many times before on Mutantville.com so it is with great pride that we share this film with you today. This is what Modern Horror filmmakers should aspire to emulate.

George A. Romero's Day of the Dead
It’s the darkest day of horror the world has ever known – it’s George A. Romero’s Day of the Dead! In 1969, George A. Romero changed the genre of horror as we know it and the way films are made as we know it with his seminal zombie classic Night of the Living Dead. He followed that up almost a decade later with the now equally important Dawn of the Dead which ushered in an era of gore films. In the 80′s Romero found himself unable to secure the financing he wanted for his third entry in the zombie series and was forced to scale the entire project back.
When Day of the Dead was finally released – fans of his previous two films didn’t know what to make of the bleak nihilistic tale of terror that unfolded before them. With time – Romero’s Day of the Dead has come to be heralded as another classic in a series filled with classics. It’s a personal favorite of the Mutantville Players and we’re happy that someone uploaded it to Youtube so that we could share it with you here.

All the world is just a stage and we are merely players indeed. I sometimes wish I were just a film maker or just a special effects guy or what have you, but God, in his infinite wisdom has made me a multi-faceted artist. I’m glad he did because that means I get to play more roles!
I’ve been criticized for being into too many things. The truth is, I couldn’t care less about the haters. Artistically, I am what I am. I love film making, martial arts and making music. Despite what some would like to believe, I am accomplished in all those areas.
3 original music albums made to date and working on the 4th. 2005 National Jiu-Jitsu BudWiser Champ, Relson Gracie Worlds Co-Champion. I’ve written and directed 2 short films and produced, provided visual effects and co-edited an original horror feature which will screen this Sunday for the first time. I’ve LOVED all of it!!!
None of these things could be accomplished without commitment and focus. During phases in my life one passion will take over and the others will take a back seat. There’s something to be said for a broad range of experience.

Since the big horror box office release this week is the remake of Tom Holland’s 1985 classic vamp film Fright Night, we thought we would honor the occasion by sharing an original vampire film – 30 Days of Night. If you are not interested in remakes – then check out this modern classic from the mind of writer Steve Niles (Mystery Society, Criminal Macabre, Remains). 30 Days of Night tells the story of a small town in Alaska that is plunged into thirty days of night for winter and invaded by vampires who have come to feast.
