Rat's Off To You, Ratty

A good friend, artist, and horror writer extraordinaire, Joel 'Ratman' Wells - and the gent who started the movement to bring DEAD HOOKER IN A TRUNK to Australia which our good friends at Bounty Films and A Night Of Horror International Film Fest were happy to oblige him and the citizens of Sydney this past April 1st - drew this beautiful sketch of myself, Jen, Hannah Neurotica, and Kristy Jett. In the world of horror, to quote Forrest Gump - us and these girls are like peas and carrots. We get to meet this summer on set, but this is the closest we've ever been to being together.


Thank you for the beautiful art, Ratty. Thank you for appreciating a dead hooker and bringing her to a new continent. I love this pic so much. You rock, sir.

Gerry Button Reviews Our Dead Hooker In A Trunk

Once upon a time, we had a dream. It was to make a film that was absolutely ridiculous, but pure enjoyment for our audiences. Then, to share that film with as many people as possible. Before we had anything, we had an idea. A title. A simple sentence that would stick divide our audiences and rightfully so. If you don't like the title, I can't imagine there being much else in the film that would win you over (aside from maybe our little pug dog, but he eats a severed penis at one point so that probably ain't gonna help). The film is our beloved debut, DEAD HOOKER IN A TRUNK.

It has reached across the world, won numerous awards and honors, been seen at film festivals both big and small (it's even played at pubs) and now, we are approaching it's ultimate release. In fact, on May 23rd in the UK, you will be able to bring home your very own DEAD HOOKER. You can even pre-order now.

As you all know, and really ought to know, Kristy Jett, writer extraordinaire and all 'round badass, knows some pretty spectacular folk. It comes with the turf of wicked awesome-ness. She was kind enough to introduce us to one Gerry Button of BACKLASH HORROR. He was most kind enough to review our film. It truly means so much to us each and every time we hear that someone has taken the time (and usually gone out of their way) to watch DHIAT. He was also wonderful enough to review the film. He gave us his whole-hearted and honest opinion and we respect that. We are happy to say that he did, indeed, love the film.

I could go into further details on his review, but he beautifully gift wrapped it in video form so you don't even have to worry about that pesky reading.

Just click below and enjoy.



Thank you so much, Gerry, for your kick ass review! Just wait till you see AMERICAN MARY...

Bloody Best!

The Blood Sprayer Fuckin' Rocks!!

As proud as we are of our first born demented baby, DEAD HOOKER IN A TRUNK, it is truly the people who have stood behind it that have taken it from our love letter to the genre to the cult classic, indie phenomenon that is has become. If a tree falls in the woods and no one's around to hear it, does it make a sound? Well, TECHNICALLY, no. According to my 8th grade science teacher, sound cannot exist without a receiver. So in the same vein of thinking, what is the point of making a film without an audience to receive it? For that reason, we will always put our audience first when it comes to our work.

We want to take this opportunity to thank some people who have not only taken a chance on checking out a strange little Canadian oddity titled DEAD HOOKER IN A TRUNK, but have given us their overwhelming support. They've supported and promoted the (un)holy hell out of Twisted Twins Productions and DHIAT. They've supported Women In Horror recognition month, they've supported our annual Massive Blood Drive, they've even taken the time to recognize the legendary "man behind the curtain", our co-conspirator, our Goody Two Shoes, CJ Wallis.
And these people know their shit. They've seen it all and support indie film like no one else, sifting through the unmentionables and bringing hidden film making gems into the light of day. So, from the bottoms of our twisted little hearts, we want to extend our most humble thanks to THE BLOOD SPRAYER. Thank you, Kristy Jett. Thank you, Zach Shildwachter. Thank you, Wes Allen. Thank you to ALL the wonderful staff of BLOOD SPRAYER. Bless you and your dedication to horror.


We are blown away to have our DEAD HOOKER IN A TRUNK included on Wes' "2010, Wha' Happened?" article. We appear as one of his FAVORITE FILMS of the year and let us tell you, boys and grrls, it's one HELL of an honor.
On the list appears the cream of the proverbial crop of 2010: MACHETE, A SERBIAN FILM, LONG PIGS, FROZEN, GRAPHIC SEXUAL HORROR, BAD BIOLOGY, GEEK WAR, THE CRAZIES, THE GOOD SISTERS, and ENTER THE VOID. Find out why you should know these films by reading the FULL ARTICLE HERE. There are also some honorable mentions that I'll let you discover on your own.

Our most sincere gratitude to the gore~geous folks at THE BLOOD SPRAYER for making this world a little more radcore. Okay, okay, a LOT more radcore.

Bloody Best!
Jen and Sylv

Okay, You Be the Doctor and I'll be the Dead Hooker...

"I received a copy of the film with accompanying vinyl, catchy, creative and collectible bumper sticker from who, I can only imagine, are the fabulous, flying Soska Sisters. This led me to believe that somewhere in this great blue marble a force beyond me, somewhat awe inspiring and highly influential (that's Kristy Jett folks)told me to write this review. And then something about, if I write... they will come.. then I got freaked out and peed. After seeing the movie, I peed again, vomited and put my jock strap with pre-inserted cup on (because if the Soskas are coming, it's worse than if they entire cast of Hostel was given your home address and a buy one, get one free coupon)."

This is just a small part of the beginning of the new review of 'Dead Hooker in a Trunk' from the hilarious and charismatic from Dr. James 'Jimmy' Terror of Dr. Terror's Blog of Horrors. What is the Blog of Horrors?

"DR. TeRRoR's BLoG oF HoRRoRs

Introducing, for the first time on this stage or any other, a HORROR Host for a generation that does not want or realize that it NEEDS A HORROR HOST... yet... From the bowels and brains of American International to the rib cage and eye sockets of Amicus, Dr. James Terror will write your eyes shut with, well ... TERROR!!! (and perhaps a bit of camp now and again for flavor)"

The doctor's use of language is comical, graphic, and awesome. It's a very fun and informative blog - without spoilers - meaning you can read them without finding out who kills who, what goes into where, and Bruce Willis was dead all this time until you're good and ready. I really enjoyed reading this review, it's great for those of you who haven't seen Hooker yet and are going spoiler-free until you do. Here's one of my favorite parts --

"There's nothing like a creepy old man with a goat. Further I say there's nothing quite like that man fucking a dead body. I haven't seen necrophilia like that since grade school (Clerks). This movie is the Breakfast Club in drag or the blood equivalent of drag. What happens when the whiny emota-Christians with their hymnals meet up with the dope swallowing, vamp-punk, pee while standing up crowd? It's Abbott and Costello meets Frankenstein. It's Molly Ringwald giving her earring to Judd Nelson... or at least it feels that way. Stereotype bending, youth growth film with the best damn hand gun blasts to the head and love that chainsaw scene. Savini would love the originality of the texture of the brains (if not realistic it certainly was aesthetically pleasing)."

Thank you, doctor. I'm feeling much better after that. I'll read it twice more and call you in the morning. So stoked that you dug the flick! Thank you for passing along the word about it. Very fucking rad. Read the whole medicinal piece here. Enjoy!

This Is What A Hooker Fan Looks Like

We were so stoked when we saw this picture of Kristy Jett sporting the Dead Hooker T! Fucking sweet. And it looks awesome.


Thank you for supporting the film in such a fashion-conscious way! If you, boys and girls, have any Dead Hooker pics send them our way. We love the way you've been supporting the film. Thank you kindly!

Freddy (In Space)'s Female Intuition Speaks Hooker Well

We are two of the fucking luckiest chicks around. Not only did we have an amazing cast and crew that created an very well-received film, 'Dead Hooker in a Trunk', but we have had the film reviewed, talked about, and passed along by some of the coolest horror personalities out there. Even luckier, we are proud to say that we have made with some of these personalities whose kindness and radness never seem to run low. Today, I want to take a moment to express our gratitude and gal-paliness with horror aficionado and publicity power-house, Kristy Jett.


There was this crazy notion that we horror chicks, instead of being at each other throats as we claw our way to success, should help one another out. Seriously, how many dudes in the boardroom are pissy to one another because some unimportant, inbred bitchiness? Kristy loved the idea of women helping women out. She has gotten so many folks on the Hooker bandwagon that you'd think she was threatening them with a sawed-off shotgun.


She writes for Dread Central, whom we have given a Hooker clip to whore out. She also writes for The BloodSprayer, TheDreaminDemon, FreddyInSpace, FOTD-online, and Wreckhouse Magazine. I believe she may have an article for the upcoming Ax Wound, a personal favorite, in the works. She also works for Fright Rags, the greatest Horror t shirt company in the known universe -- I met an alien dude at a bar once and he totally confirmed this fact. Jen and I love her to pieces. She's smart, opinionated, and always has something insightful to say that will make you dig her writing and what she is writing about even more. Here are a couple blerbs from her article about Hooker for Freddy in Space.

"To say Dead Hooker In A Trunk is a demure title for a film would be an understatement, and a flat out lie. It's a supremely polarizing title. You can assume you will either love it or hate it just from the heading. The point to be made is, Dead Hooker In A Trunk is one of the best films this year. From start to finish it holds its own. There's no pithy Diablo Cody dialogue or half-ass attempts at moral constitutions. It is a full on assault of your senses, eviscerating any stereotypes that may have sprouted from those unenthused over the title, Dead Hooker In A Trunk.

The women who made the film, Jen and Sylvia Soska, star in the film as Geek and Badass, respectively. Their names are characteristic of, well, their character. That is clear from the start. Badass has a hard night of partying with her bff Junkie, played by Rikki Gagne, resulting in madcap escapades when they realize that they partied a little TOO hard the night before and there is a dead hooker in the trunk of their classic car. Along for the ride are Geek and her love interest Goody Two Shoes played pitch perfect by CJ Wallis. If you don't crack a smile every time he is on screen you're probably missing something."

If you haven't read any of Kristy's work before, then you are missing something. You're missing out on some hip articles about flicks you already love and/or hate. Kristy, keep on taking over the world with your ambitious work and take-no-prisons attitude. We and our dead hooker are glad to be here for the ride!
