‘Spacecamp’ sketch on Funnyordie.com

I was in LA for a few weeks last month catching up with some old friends and we just got to talking and decided to shoot comedy skit while I was out there. Joanna Angel and Tommy Pistol had been talking about doing something like this for awhile, and once we decided to do it everything just came together. The end result is SPACECAMP! Check it out on Funnyordie.com NOW!

We got some of my pals from the old Troma days involved, Caleb Emerson and Trent Haaga (Rex and Tex Diaper respectively  from Citizen Toxie: The Toxic Avenger 4, the very goons who gunned me down as a ‘special student’ 13 years earlier). Also involved was Jimi Homeless of the Jimi Homeless Experience as well as my artist friend Tiffany Silver Braun. I had not seen any of these guys in years and it was a great chance to catch up and have some fun!

If we get a good response to it and a lot of people watch it we may just make a regular series of sketches, so check it out and vote ‘FUNNY’ now!

Shit Morons Say

People have asked me to weigh in on this internet phenomena and I know you’ve all been waiting for my take on this priceless and endlessly entertaining meme for some time, so here it is without further ado…shit morons say. Also as a bonus you can hear my thoughts on the What people think I do/What I really do meme as well as Whitney Houston! Enjoy!

Also, this is my first update of 2012, have been buys…things have been developing and I’ll have a lot of announcements soon so stay tuned! I will say that the next main NYC Zombie Crawl event will take place on Sunday, May 27th 2012 in Brooklyn, will have more details in the coming months!

Latest Post-Mortem Pinup: Amanda Cupcake

Check the latest murder scene from Post-Mortem Pinups – Amanda Cupcake, who suffered a brain aneurism while at home (cooking macaroni and cheese) and then was eaten by her Chihuahua! He chose to eat her instead of the macaroni and cheese obviously.  This marks the 11th Post Mortem Pinup, only one more death to finish the PMP calender! I’ve been working on this project since 2005, mainly as a hobby since I’ve been too busy to commit to collecting dead girls and then taking pictures of them. You should see the ones I didn’t have time to photograph! Regardless, the first wave will be complete soon! Buy the first set of prints now!

Have a bloody good holiday!

As 2011 draws to a close, we want to thank all our friends, family and co-workers (who generally are all one and the same) for helping to make the year such a successful one for Backseat Conceptions. We worked on a national TV show for 5 months (Paranormal Challenge), returned to the Vans Warped Tour for a 6th year with Punk Rock Holocaust 3, made a number of awesome shorts, music videos and projects that could not have been done without your support. 2012 is going to bring a lot more big projects and we’re happy to bring you all along for the ride.

From all of us at Backseat Conceptions, have a safe and happy holiday season and an awesome new year.

Below is a holiday card to all from my SPFX side project, Post Mortem Pinups! And here is a link to our last Backseat Conceptions newsletter of 2011 - you can see what we’ve been up to at www.backseatconceptions.com!

In case you missed it…

It happened and it was epic! Halloween season 2011 is over and it was quite a whirlwind tour! After kicking it off right doing SPFX for the feature ‘Deathly Love’ and finishing some shooting for ‘Cross Bearer’ and ‘The Cemetery’ (both of which are finally picture wrapped), I worked a few days at Pennhurst Aslyum, doing SPFX makeup and scaring the hell out of people to get in the mood.


Then I directed a segment for Angelo Moore aka Dr. Maddvibe’s new music video ‘Optimistic Yes’ which features a good and evil Angelo up against each other ripping guts out and vomiting on each other.

Then it was right into the 4th annual NYC Zombie Crawl at which Angelo performed along with our pals Nassau Chainsaw DisGraCeLand Demolition Committee and God’s Green Earth. Check out the full NSFW wrapup at DRIVEN BY BOREDOM. Unfortunately the same night we found out our dear friend Spliff of DisGraCeLand had passed but it only encouraged us to rip shit up harder for him, which we did indeed.

After that I headed to Chicago for the Rise of the Stripping Dead where we performed a Zombie Fetish Sideshow edition of Strip for Pain and made up like 20 stripper zombies four nights in a row. Our friends Miss Crash and Masuimi Max did some epic performances along with new friends Mosh and Narcissister and we bled all over Chicago.

Then I flew back to NY to attend Spliff’s funeral and the DisGraceLand family sent him off right with a memorial reception at Ollie’s Point in Amityville. The it was right back to Chicago for The XXXorcist and Re-Penetrator LIVE shows with Joanna Angel, Tommy Pistol and Pheonix Askani, where we continued to bleed and vomit all over Chicago for a 2nd week.

Then we went back to NYC and did it again at the SMack Halloween Fetish Ball (the same party we premiered Re-Penetrator LIVE back in 2008).

And finally Halloween arrived and I finished off the month with Jagermeister, doing zombie makeup for their float in the NYC Halloween Parade. We ended the night by joining Joanna Angel for an exclusive performance at the Box with midgets and burlesque and things I shouldn’t mention in public. I will say we spent almost $2000 on booze though. (thanks Joanna!)

Of course, I could not have done all of this alone…where do I begin…thanks so much to all the makeup artists who helped out at the NYC Zombie Crawl and in Chicago including Steve Saturn, Jessica Laskaris, Chrisine Conley, Zee Gustafson and countless others…mad props to Zac Amico and Michelle Crouchelli for helping pull together the XXXorcist set in NY while I was out of town…my cloaked partners in crime Nick Danger and Zafer Ulkucu and the lovely Goddess Shea for helping out the whole month through! And to everyone who supported our madness – Michael Stewart and the Beauty Bar, Arlene’s Grocery and the Contentinal, Tim ‘Gravy’ Brown and the Admiral Theater, Sidney Scarlett, Xris Smack, the Jagermeister folks, Pabst Blue Ribbon, ZombieBooth and all of the Burning Angel crew! And finally my DisGraCeLand Family – it was a tough month but Spliff would be proud.
