Sinful Celluloid Follows Mary As She Sweeps the East Coast

"There is no denying the emotional core of this film and it's ability to draw us deeper into Mary's world with every minute of film. We've all either known Mary, loved Mary, Lost Mary, or even been her. Her story touches us and because it works at our emotional core while serving up beautifully grotesque imagery, its power is unwavering. There are so many reasons to love this film, each person will ultimately bring their own personal history to it. That is something only the best films do."

AMERICAN MARY was honored with sweeping the Screamfest Awards in LA, now she's been given the incredible privilege on the east coast in Boston's Shudderfest with another sweep! A huge and humble thanks to those who are on the voting committees and supporting this unique film to get this kind of attention and accolades.

And Sinful Celluloid is on it! READ THE WHOLE AWESOME PIECE HERE.

Oh Daddy! Big Honor!

"So that time of year is upon us where we over at Big Daddy Horror Reviews get under way with the first annual Big Daddies. We figure mainstream commercial cinema gets the Oscars and The Golden Globes, so I figured it only fitting that the horror genre gets its own set of awards thus was born the "Big Daddies". The aim of the Big Daddies is to honor outstanding achievement in the horror genre including films that virtually no one saw to the independents to the very popular."

What an incredible idea! Here's the hugely humbling part - those sweet son of a guns at Big Daddy Horror Reviews have included us in the nominations for a Big Daddy.



I am very proud to announce that DEAD HOOKER IN A TRUNK has been nominated in the categories of outstanding achievement in Screenplay & Cinematography. We have been nominated for best screenplay. This is a huge honor. Thank you for including us on the list, especially with such strong pieces as -- Let Me In, All About Evil, Dear Mr. Gacy, and Survival of the Dead.


Stayed tuned as more films get announced in different categories! Can't wait to see how it all goes down. Congratulations to all our fellow nominees and thank you to Big Daddy for including our film.

DEAD HOOKER IS A SMASH HIT AT THE POLLYGRIND

Dead Hooker in a Trunk has been one hell of a ride.



The over whelming support of the film from reviewers, horror sites, and fans has been incredible. We Twisted Twins couldn't have been happier when we were heard that DHIAT was selected to have its Vegas premiere at this year's Pollygrind Grindhouse Film Festival. It was with great regret that we were unable to attend, but after the film screened Friday, May 14th, we were delighted to hear that the film rocked the festival and received much love from all in attendance! Today, we received another great honor.

We are happy to announce that Dead Hooker in a Trunk has won the Pollygrind Jury Award for Best Screenplay, the Audience Award for Favorite Feature of the Pollygrind, and Everette Hartsoe's Bad Girl Award! Such a great honor, we had this to say when we received the gore~geous news...



We would like to humbly thank Chad Clinton Freeman for not only selecting DHIAT to screen at the 2010 Pollygrind Film Festival, but for being such a huge supporter of us and our work. We'd like to thank all the judges of the Pollygrind. We'd like to thank Everette Hartsoe for bestowing this awesome honor on we Twisted Twins. And we'd love to thank the incredible audience of the Pollygrind. We hate that we were unable to make it this year, but we promise that we will make our way one day, one day soon, to lovely Las Vegas and would love to meet every single one of you! Thank you to all the fans of the film who have made it into the beast that it has become. Without your support, kind words, emails, messages, and sharing of the film with your friends and the online world, Dead Hooker in a Trunk wouldn't be the independent sensation that it is! We really can't thank you guys enough!



Dead Hooker in a Trunk will be showing at festivals around the world this year. Stay tuned for more dates and locations. And, please. If you want the film to come to your town, drop us and line and let us know! We will do our absolute best to make it happen!

Thank you!
Bloody best,
Jen and Sylv
