From Jason Paul Collum, director of October Moon and November Son, comes a documentary detailing the rise and fall of the 80's Scream Queen era in which his mentor Brinke Stevens (Haunting Fear) will be partaking with a bevy of familiar faces from the 80's horror era in:

Jeff Dylan Graham, the ultimate horror actor, the ultimate chameleon. You might not recognize his face and that's for good reason. You see Jeff changes up his appearance like Lindsey Lohan drinks alcohol. Jeff has appeared in his fair share of horror movies and more in likely you've seen something that he has appeared in and just didn't realize it. He has worked with special effects artists and part time director Marcus Koch several times throughout his career including a starring role in Fell. For part one of this interview we asked Jeff about his appearances in Fell, Bloodsucking Vampires, one of those countless Witchcraft films, October Moon and November Son. Here is what he had to say.
So who is Jeff Dylan Graham and what are you all about?
First off, I'm a Huge geek. Any of my friends will tell you the same. I like long walks on the beach,...

Jason Paul Collum is the genre director of several films and was featured as Bachelor of the Month in Instinct magazine. He is mentored by legendary scream queen Brinke Stevens who starred in two of his more popular efforts October Moon and its sequel November Son. Both of these films were refreshingly different films in the genre as they were gay psychological horror thrillers. We had the chance to ask him a few questions about his career and these films. Here is what he had to say:
For horror fans who may be unfamiliar with you, who is Jason Paul Collum and what is he all about?
I'm a guy with my hands in a lot of pots. I write, direct, produce and very occasionally act (a loose term) in mostly low-budget, independent films. I've worked on projects with budgets as low as $500 and as high as $150,000. I even worked...

Busy actor Jeff Dylan Graham, whose long genre résumé includes October Moon, Beyond The Dunwich Horror and 100 Tears, dropped us a line to let us know about his new project Baby Jane? Written and directed by William Clift, it’s a take-off on the 1962 Gothic classic What Ever Happened To Baby Jane?—only with male actors (Matthew Martin and J. Conrad Frank) camping it up in drag in the roles originally portrayed by Bette Davis and Joan Crawford.
“Being a huge fan of What Ever Happened To Baby Jane?, I was more than enthusiastic about being involved in this film,” Graham tells Fango. “It was amazing to me that no one had yet attempted to make a feature-length parody of this true cult classic.
“I was amazed by the sheer brilliance of Matthew Martin, who literally channels Bette Davis, but is a strong actor in his own right,” adds Graham,...

For November Son (available on DVD April 14), the sequel to the gay thriller October Moon, writer/director Jason Paul Collum worked with both ends of the genre spectrum, the seasoned vet (Brinke Stevens) and the first-film newbie (Sacha Sacket).
Stevens, who reprises the role of “Nancy” in November Son, has over 100 acting credits. If you are a fan of the genre, you know Stevens even if you’ve never seen one of her films. By all accounts one of the nicest and most accommodating actresses to work with, Stevens weathered the “Girl in the Shower” storm of her early films and has come out the other side with nuanced performances in films like Mommy and October Moon. At an age when most B-movie queens fade into real estate careers, Stevens keeps racking up the roles, and she doesn’t have to take off her top to do it.

The covers for several assorted DVDs we’ve told you about over the past few weeks have recently cropped up, and we figured we’d show them to you all in one place (i.e., below the cut). A new title has come up as well: Lost Treasure Of The Grand Canyon, a Sci Fi Channel creature feature that Anchor Bay releases May 26.
In that movie, Shannen Doherty and Michael Shanks star as two of a group of archaeological researchers who travel deep into the titular natural landmark in search of the father of Doherty’s character. There they encounter not only an ancient tribe that likes to dabble in human sacrifice, but a mythical monster that also enjoys snacking on people. With no special features announced, the disc retails for $19.97.

Indie writer/director/producer Jason Paul Collum gave Fango the scoop that November Son, the sequel to his psychochiller October Moon, has been acquired for DVD release by Ariztical Entertainment. A spring 2009 disc release is being planned.
Set two years after the events of October Moon, the new movie centers on the survivors of that gay-themed stalker scenario as a couple of new characters enter their lives, with psychologically and physically destructive results. Collum reveals that the complete ensemble of actors from the previous film returned—even if their October characters died. “We got everyone back, which is a really amazing thing on a low-budget film,” he tells Fango. “It's rare, especially today, to have an entire cast come in for a sequel at this level, but everyone was so happy with the results of October Moon that no one hesitated.”
Those performers include Sean Michael Lambrecht, Jeff Dylan Graham,...
