Critically praised and one of the first gay-themed thrillers, October Moon was released theatrically on September 25, 2005 and hit DVD on Valentine’s Day 2006, the film was an immediate success. With that success in hand, director Jason Paul Collum brings us the sequel, October Moon 2: November Son.
Referred to as “Oddly gothic…creepy fun…” (Instinct) and “A cut above most independent horror films…” (Film Monthly) October Moon 2: November Son holds the distinct novelty of being the first gay-horror film sequel! This DVD edition contains an all-new 4 page full-color insert by writer, director producer Jason Paul Collum (Something To Scream About). The entire original cast returns (even the dead ones) and are joined by Scream Queen supreme Debbie Rochon (Witchouse 3: Demon Fire), soap star Robyn Griggs (One Life To Live) and recording artist Sacha Sacket (Dante’s Cove), making his screen debut.

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...

Award-winning short filmmaker David Karges gave us the scoop that he has secured backing for his first feature, the horror movie Dark Karma, and has signed Fangoria Radio’s own Debbie Rochon for the lead. Robyn Griggs, another actress with a long string of genre credits (including turns opposite Rochon in November Son, Severe Injuries and Dead Clowns) will co-star.
Rochon will star in the flick as Karma Kaplan, a B-movie actress who wakes up in her apartment after a night celebrating a “Scream Queen of the Year” award. With a broken ankle and no memory of the previous evening’s events, she is visited by a succession of friends (including a “repressed and submissive, co-dependent” woman named Rhianna, to be played by Griggs) who assure her that she’s simply suffering an alcohol-induced blackout. But she begins to realize that her reality is breaking down, leading her into a psychotic state.

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,...
