Helena, Hussy of Horror Takes Over the Local Graveyard...

............Helena, Hussy of Horror has launched her new monthly web series with "Drinks With Swamp Thing", a brief look at finding the perfect cocktail for your spring party as well as a review of the 1982 cult classic, Swamp Thing.

Originally done as a one shot for last fall’s Miss Horrorfest contest, Helena soon found new life by shooting an introduction for the festival run of the upcoming Anthem Pictures DVD release, Deadlands 2, Trapped. New Videos will be posted monthly. On the docket are shows about the original Friday the 13th and Jaws 3. For more go to www.HussyOfHorror.com.

"Horror hosts are, unfortunately, a staple belonging to the genre’s yesteryears. And while it looked like our beloved Mistress of the Dark, Elvira, was to be a curvaceous cap to decades of tradition, ... there still could be some life left in the occupation after all." ~ Dread Central

Helena's Holiday Special

At this spirited holiday time, I'd like to extend some Thanks Giving to all those who supported Helena and her brief but powerful bid for the HorrorFest crown.

Because of the love she has received, she has decided to take up permanent residence in the DC area, and she's making plans to release her own website soon, or so I hear through the grapevine.

www.HussyofHorror.com is her official website on which she has a placeholder for now where you can view her first two shorts and send her some love at Helena@HussyofHorror.com. More details and a fresh site will be released in 2009. Check back for updates!

So, thanks again to all for the enthusiastic response she encountered during her short HorrorFest run and thanks for the positive audience reaction to her Deadlands 2: Trapped introduction at both the Hagerstown, MD and Queens International Film Festival screenings.

She looks forward to jingling your bells soon...

DC X-Play Edition 7
Saturday November 1 at 8pm
Sunday November 2 at 3pm

This special X Play Edition will be held at Round House Theatre Silver Spring. A series of short political plays spotlight the prevailing issues and events of one of the most consequential presidential races in recent history. XX explores a wide range of perspectives – both of the candidates and their constituents – in this entertaining, thought provoking night of theatre. For ages 13 and up. Presented by Round House Theatre & eXtreme eXchange.

I'm working, once again, with the talented Anne McCaw and Jessi Burgess who drew "socially conservative liberals" for their theme. God and Country, our piece, centers on William Jennings Bryan. Come on out and Monkey Around with us this weekend!

Helena, Hussy of Horror

Fall's official now and what have I choosen to do with my time? I've entered a contest of course. My online entry just got posted today and I have until THIS FRIDAY OCTOBER 17TH at midnight to accumulate “viewings” and “ratings”.

What have I entered, you ask? Wait for it… The 2008 Miss Horrorfest Contest. That’s right, folks. Don’t miss this thrilling opportunity to see me in a corset performing what I hope are some funny bits. My character, Helena, Hussy of Horror, draws her inspiration from Elvira and gets her fashion sense from Betty Page. Suffice it to say, Helena gets political.

Please visit http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qbP19Ja-QB8 and do three things for me: Thanks in advance for your support!

1) View my video, “Helena, Hussy of Horror”.
2) Rate the video for me. Hopefully, you get a kick out of it and feel inclined to give me high marks!
3) Forward the video on to all your friends and anyone who could use a smile.

Happy Halloween, Everyone!
