Soska Sister's Hellevator Premieres Wed Oct 21st on GSN!!

 

 

I know everyone else is following the Soska Sisters on their social media so you already know about the gameshow they're coming out with on the Game Show Network right?  RIGHT?!?  Well if you've been living under a rock here's the lowdown..  The gameshow is called Hellevator and it premieres this Wednesday Oct 21st 8/7c on Game Show Network.  This is a terrifying new gameshow from Blumhouse, and hosted by our favorite Twisted Twins The Soska Sisters.

The show places contestants in a warehouse where they then are guided into the Hellevator.  The Hellevator takes them to the different floors that they will get asked to go through devious challenges.  Each challenge will test the limits of the contestants fears to see if they have what it takes to win the money.  I was able to watch the first 10 minutes of the show on Yahoo HERE

I saw a few sites attempting to say that the horror crowd would not like Hellevator, that it was more for the mainstream crowd..  But I would beg to differ.  Just from the first 10 minutes you can see that it definitely brings the blood..  And I have no doubts that the Twisted Twins will make this gameshow into a must watch.  I was a huge fan of American Mary and I watch it all the time.  Pretty amazing stuff.  Well ladies if your name is attached to it you'll have a viewer in me.  Keep being awesome!  Oh! And we've also got a quick clip for you below!  Enjoy!

Interview with Annica Alvillar of Monochrome Romance Photography

I would have to say that American Mary is definitely one of my favorite modern horror movies.  Who doesn't love this golden nugget that the Twisted Twins Jen & Sylvia Soska have brought before us?  Katharine Isabelle and Tristan Risk are just amazing in their parts..  And I was rooting for Mary the whole time.  If you haven't seen it yet I'd suggest you stop reading right now and watch it.  We'll wait..  You back yet?  Can we continue?  That was amazing right?  I told you!  Anyway with any great story like American Mary you'll always get the cosplayers at the Horror Cons and every once in awhile you'll get a treat like Monochrome Romance Photography has brought to us.  Monochrome along with Queen Curbcheck and Ryan Wreckless let their inner demons out in an awesome American Mary themed shoot!  Enjoy the photos and our interview with photographer Annica Alvillar!
 

Interview Excerpt:

GN:  Who’s idea was it to go with the American Mary theme?

MRP:  It was actually both of ours (Queen Curbcheck and I) She had recommended the movie to me after the twisted twins had started to follow her on IG. I was immediately inspired after watching it and had noticed some similarity in looks between the actress Katharine Isabelle and Queen Curbcheck. I think I even text her that night after watching it for the first time and said "We must do an American Mary inspired shoot!"  The rest is history.

GN:  Tell us a bit about Monochrome Romance Photography and what you do!

MRP:  Hmm well Monochrome Romance Photography is me lol. As for what I do I like to create stories and characters through my photography whether that story portrays a dream or a nightmare.

GN:  Queen Curbcheck is a total babe! (and Ryan Wreckless was a trooper for being a victim!)  What was it like working with them?

MRP:  I have known this couple for years and have worked with them on many shoots. They are a great duo to shoot and they make my job as a photographer easy. I love them and the energy they bring to each shoot.  Never a dull moment when these two are my models.

GN:  Have you set your sights on other movies to recreate in photo form?  Are there any others we should check out that you've done?

MRP:  I would love to do a tribute to some of my favorite Alfred Hitchcock films in the future. And I'm currently working on doing a female pinhead shoot from the movie Hellraiser which is one of my favorites! But to date American Mary is the first movie tribute shoot I have done.

GN:  Give us some links to your social media!  Also let us know what you have coming up!

American Mary

Mary Morgan is not afraid of getting dirty

Even though we're working on 3 magazines at once we still have to take time our of our schedule and unwind.  How do we unwind?  Watching movies of course.  Mostly horror films of course and every once in awhile we are treated with something that was actually worth our time to watch.  Most of the time though we are forced to sit through the same old song and dance and it's like pulling teeth.. but every once in a damn while we find something worth getting behind!

Enter American Mary which is twin directors Jen and Sylvia Soska's second film. (If I'm not mistaken Dead Hooker in a Trunk was the first don't quote me on that though)  The nice thing about the film is it's fresh take on the genre.  Although it's not ground breaking it's got that kind of appeal that you can't bottle or really put your finger on exactly.  We follow Mary as she hacks and slashes through her problems and even though we shouldn't, the Soska's make us sympathize with her.

If I had to describe it as a "If (insert movie name here) and (insert movie name here) had a baby" I'd say it would be a crazy three way baby made from the mixed juices of "I Spit on Your Grave", Dexter, (funny that her last name is Morgan) and "Hostel".  The movie and the Twisted Twins had been generating some buzz throughout the horror crowd so although I usually don't follow the horror herd I swallowed my stubborn-ness and dove into the movie.

Mary is definitely a character that makes you love her, and we were hooked.  She's definitely got what it takes to lure in even the most rigid of horror fans.  You probably will see some horror hipsters out there hating on the movie but truthfully these people probably hate on 98% of everything new that comes out and the only things that will make their horror nerd pecker stand at attention is watching Evil Dead for the billionth time.  If you'd like to give the movie a watch I've linked to a VOD player for you to sit back and enjoy.  Yes you have to pay but part of the proceeds go straight into the Gore Noir coffers and that money is used for hookers and crack so you know your money is going to a good cause.  NOW WATCH!
