Chainsaw Sally : One Killer Show

Since it's announcement through April Monique Burril's Twitter, yours truly have been anxiously awaiting for the return of The Chainsaw Sally Show. For the uninitiated, The Chainsaw Sally Show is a splatstick dramedy about a psychotic Suicide Girl and her equally sadistic transvestite brother who bring chaos to their unsuspecting hometown. The show stars April Monique Burril as the titular character, Azman Toy as her brother Ruby, & Baltimore entertainer/socialite Nicolette LeFaye as Miss Busy Bee, the sinister sibling's “pet”. The Chainsaw Sally Show  is the demented brainchild of April & her husband director JimmyO Burril who originally created the character as a horror hostess then turned her into a full-fledged horror movie icon. It also has the backing of Troma Entertainment, scream queen Debbie Rochon, & Herschell Gordon Lewis, The Godfather of Gore. Now, that's what you call a co-sign !!! It is the visual of Chainsaw Sally, a voluptuous chainsaw wielding Goth chick, that will first attract you to the series. As you watch the series, you'll become hooked to the zany characters, torture pornographic kills, and overall campiness . The Chainsaw Sally Show  is returning online this Friday at the stroke of midnight. You can check the show here at the official website

El Topo: The Spiritualist's Cowboy Flick (NSFW)





Here's another movie my good friend Benn Stimmel recommended. It's called “El Topo” , a 1970 grindhouse western about a eccentric, black-clad gunslinger on the path to enlightenment. This movie pushes the boundaries with its graphic & surreal imagery that sticks in your mind. The world of “El Topo” is populated by a cast of colorful characters who shares the title character's quirkiness. There are sodomizing bandits, pyscho lesbians, deformed people, & Zen-like gunslingers this way of Buddha. Along with being a tale of spirituality, this Spaghetti Western on acid is a story of redemption. In the film's beginning, El Topo committed sins such as killing, deceiving, & abandoning his son. After his lover's betrayal, El Topo is reborn (in a bizarre, psychedelic ritual) into a humble man. If you're looking for a spiritual high, then “El Topo” is the perfect drug for you.
