"Back in the beginning of 2007 there came together three unholy forces of horror and dark music to create one of the coolest adult horror films no one's ever seen. The project was a walking abortion from the start with a pair of real morons at the helm of the film. The worst part of the story is that the original director of the film pulled a massive rip off before fleeing Los Angeles. He enlisted some people in the adult industry to help him create a free weekly paper, took in thousands of dollars in ad monies for the paper, then skipped town with the money and didnt publish the paper. Luckily the producer of the film, Matt The Lord Zane, allowed me to have all of the movie footage to pull from the wreckage of that mess to use in this music video for the guys in Dark Funeral.
I hit it off with the guys in Dark Funeral backstage at the Key Club in LA during the shooting of the video. They were cool fucking dudes who were deadly serious about their satanic music and they put on one helluva fucking show. I dig Dark Funeral's music and their guts, so when I got the go ahead to take over the film and the music video from Mr. Zane I dropped the hammer down and went for it big time. I did the movie cuz they paid me too. I did the video because I fucking wanted to. I did it for the band, for the fans and for the biggest outlaw in adult films, Rob Black.
I premiered the video on the www.boneyardpress.net site for Halloween of 07 and then put it up on my youtube channel (www.youtube.com/crimepayshart) where it promptly became my most popular clip and a video that helped me land multiple directing and editing jobs. Hell, the video was so popular it was instrumental in landing Dark Funeral a rare slot on youtubes push list for their new video My Funeral. I was happy that the guys had a major corporation pushing their video, unfortunately youtube decided my video was drawing heat away from their ad drive. After three years and almost 100,000 plays youtube decided to ban my video for Attera Totus Sanctus.
Thanks to the fine folks at youtube that video is now exclusively online here at AmericanHorrors.com.
So kick back, turn the lights down real low. Enjoy this little piece of pain I mastered out from hell and chaos to forge something that bleeds..."
ROB TAYLOR WALKS THE OCCULT BEAT FOR AMERICAN HORRORS!
Controversial Occult Crime Writer Rob Taylor Joins The American Horrors Reporting Staff To Bring You the Finest Horror News!
LOS ANGELES, CA- American Horrors CEO and The Garbage Man writer/director, Hart D. Fisher, has announced the latest addition to the American Horrors staff of creators, controversial web content developer and political activist Rob Taylor! Starting July 24th Mr. Taylor will be covering the occult crime beat for the American Horrors website at www.americanhorrors.com.
“American Horrors provides a fantastic venue for writers who understand that the world isn't always politically correct.” Said Mr. Taylor from his compound in South Carolina. “Hart Fisher has always taken risks and doesn't allow convention to dictate what he puts out there for people. With American Horrors, there's finally a publication that doesn't have crime and the occult covered by so-called ‘experts’ who make a living spreading their hokum. I'm looking forward to bringing some real life horror into the readers lives.”
Rob Taylor is the controversial webmaster of Red Alerts and Greenville Dragnet and is godfather of the Conservative Pagan movement. After leaving the academic world where he received a degree in Comparative Religion and a Master of Liberal Arts from Wesleyan University, he began his career as a web content developer and political activist. He gained notoriety for his coverage of crime in the Neo-pagan and occult communities and resisting the pressure to be politically correct. He is a recent transplant to South Carolina by way of New York City, or as he calls it "the sinking ship."
“From murderous Juggalos to voodoo rapists to Wiccan child molesters,” Said Mr. Fisher. “Rob Taylor brings you to the weird side of crime. His articles are well investigated, disturbing, and exactly the kind of reportage we’re looking to bring to the horror industry. Keep your eyes on Rob, he’s going to be making some serious waves in occult crime.”
HOSTS OF HIT DVD SERIES BRAWLIN’
BROADS, GUEST STARS OF HBO’S CATHOUSE
AND BLACK DEVIL DOLL TACKLE THE HORROR!
LOS ANGELES, CA -American
Horrors CEO and The
Garbage Man writer/director, Hart
D. Fisher, has announced
the latest additions to the American
Horrors line up, infamous
hosts Martin & Mitchell Boone,
of the hit DVD series “Brawlin’
Broads” and the #1 podcast in
the world, The
Boone Brothers Show!As
legendary shock jocks and guest stars
in HBO’s “Cathouse” and the feature
film, Black
Devil Doll, Mitchell and Martin
Boone bring a unique perspective
to American Horrors and the genre.
“Having been fans of Hart Fisher's
work over the years and knowing his
die-hard commitment to underground
entertainment and all things depraved,” said
Mitchell Boone "all it took
was meeting the man in the flesh, sharing
a brew (or twenty) and hearing his
ideas on 'American Horrors' to know
that this was going to be a perfect
fit. The proverbial "Match Made
in Hell". We're happier than a
herd of crabs at a whorehouse to sink
our teeth into this series, and bring
our special brand of cringe-inducing
humor to the table.”
Originally hosting their own nationally
syndicated radio talk show, 100 Proof,
The Boone Brothers have been banned from
Wondercon, Comicon and even Ozzfest.
Look for The Boones to do segments on
the worlds bloodiest apparel company, Rotten
Cotton, and cover the most insane
bands, horror events and outrageous mayhem
around the USA.
“I love these guys. From the first
night I met them on the Angry White
Male tour, I knew we had to be working
together.” Said Mr. Fisher. “If
you haven’t seen Brawlin’ Broads or
Black Devil Doll, you need to. These
guys push boundaries without being
stupid about it. They’re going to add
a whole new dimension to American Horrors
and it’s programming.”

HORROR CREATOR HART D. FISHER MEETS THE
VERMINATORS ON THE DISCOVERY CHANNEL!
DISCOVERY CHANNELS’
ELITE TEAM OF PEST BUSTERS CONFRONTS
THE HORROR DIRECTORS’ WORST FEAR- RATS!
LOS ANGELES, CA- Horror show host
and The Garbage Man writer/director, Hart
D. Fisher, went head to
head with his worst fear, fighting
a rat & black widow spider infestation
in his Los Angeles home, and had
to call in the cavalry- The
Discovery Channel’s elite
group of pest busters, The
Verminators. When ISOTECH
expert Gary gets the call from the
horror film director with a fear
of rats, he discovers the real scare
is the threat the rodents pose to
the health of his wife, who is recovering
from cervical cancer.
“We had rats in
the trees, in our attic, under the
house, it was driving me nuts, it
was driving my wife nuts, and when
things start to bother my wife, the
kid gloves come off.” said American
Horrors host, Hart D.
Fisher "I may live and breath
horror movies, but when you find
a black widow spider crawling across
your big toe in the bath tub and
you’ve got rats staring at you through
the window, it’s time to call in
the professionals. The guys from
Isotech, they really kicked ass on
these rats & spiders.”
The Verminators “Lights!
Camera! Vermin!” featuring
the adventures of Isotech at
Mr. Fisher’s home is currently
airing on The Discovery
Channel. Check your
local listings for airdates and
re-runs.
“They brought over a bug wrangler
and a couple BOXES of black widows.
It was not easy holding still while
they dangled the biggest Black Widow
I’ve ever seen over my big toe with
crazy glue and piano wire.” Added
Mr. Fisher. “It took a lot of
self control to just sit there with
that big bug an inch away from my
toe hanging by next to nothing but
you either go big, or go home. Of
course that’s the stuff that ends
up on the cutting room floor, right?”

LIVE EVIL BRINGS NEW BLOOD TO
AMERICAN HORRORS TELEVISION PROGRAMMING!
DISTURBING NEW VISION OF VAMPIRES
COMING TO HART D. FISHER'S INTERNATIONALLY SYNDICATED
HORROR SHOW, AMERICAN HORRORS
LOS ANGELES, CA- Crime Pays, Inc. founder
and president, Hart D. Fisher, has announced
the latest addition to his American
Horrors slate of television programming
with the addition of Live Evil, the critically
acclaimed, controversial new vision of
vampire horror from writer/director Jay
Woelfel and producer Mark Terry. Live Evil
presents a disturbing new take on the classic
horror archetype, with a pack of vampires
roaming America’s back roads and badlands
to find “pure blood” untainted by the ills
of modern society. On opposite ends of
the bloodsuckers’ struggle are two genre
icons: Tim Thomerson (the Trancers series,
Near Dark, Dollman) as the sword-slinging
Priest, and Ken Foree (Dawn of the Dead,
The Devil’s Rejects, Rob Zombie’s Halloween)
as a “pusher” of stolen blood to a vampiric
clientele.
"American Horrors and
Hart Fisher are a perfect match for Live
Evil. Hart understands the importance of
our American genre stars like Tim Thomerson
and Ken Foree.” said producer, Mark Terry.
“Yet at the same time our baby vampire scene
seems like it would be something controversial
enough that I would read in one of his comics.”
Live Evil’s unflinching, visceral updating
of a legendary evil taps perfectly into
the vein of Hart D. Fisher’s Real World
Horror Revolution, and is a powerful new
addition to the American Horrors brand
of bleeding-edge independent horror programming.
Offers Fangoira Magazine’s Michael Gingold
“Fango can attest that it [Live Evil] contains
plenty of blood, skin, grisly makeup FX and
violent action.”
American Horrors began as a 2 hour television
show syndicated through out Europe and Scandinavia
by The Global Broadcasting Company, and in
partnership with Indie Pictures has grown
to be a major emerging distributor of Feature
horror films, forging innovative partnerships
with metal record powerhouses Nuclear Blast
Records and Evilive Records.
MUSIC & COMICS
VET GARY GUZZO JOINS
AMERICAN HORRORS
LOS ANGELES, CA- American
Horrors CEO and The Garbage Man writer/director,
Hart D. Fisher, has announced the latest addition
to his team, Gary Guzzo. As a seasoned veteran
of the both the comics industry and the music
industry, Gary Guzzo will be taking over as
VP of Marketing and Publicity at American
Horrors starting with a revamp of the American
Horrors website.
“Gary brings a wealth of marketing experience
and industry contacts you just can’t buy, it’s
something you have to live & breath.” said
Mr. Fisher "This is a man who knows how to
innovate and take things to a higher level. He
and his wife Dawn are serious additions to the
American Horrors team. These are exactly the kind
of people I want to have handling my vision.”
As a music industry vet, Gary Guzzo started
his career as a sound man, then quickly becoming
a successful concert promoter. Gary moved up
to running his own tradeshow staging company,
International Video, before selling it in 1992
to begin working in his favorite childhood
medium, comic books. For his first foray in
the genre, Gary Guzzo put together a relief
program for victims of Hurricane Andrew with
Marvel Comics. It was during his tenure at
Marvel Comics that Gary first came into contact
with the work of Hart D. Fisher, at the time
the evil anti-christ of comics and Boneyard
Press.
“During my tenure at Marvel I gravitated to the
more independent creators, both within and outside
of the company.” Said Gary. “Hanging at shows with
Larry Welz, Mark Bode or Hart Fisher was more the
norm than going to the Iron Man party. For me,
that was where the action was.”
With several years working at Marvel Comics under
his belt (straightening out their relationships
with the fan press and retailers), Mr. Guzzo would
go on to work as a consultant for Lorne Michael’s
Broadway Comics and then Steve Massarsky’s Acclaim
Comics.
When asked about the recent sale
of Marvel Comics to Disney Mr. Guzzo said:
“What do I think about Disney buying Marvel? Hell,
I’m going to go work for Hart Fisher at American
Horrors!"
"Keep your eyes close to American Horrors
over the next couple of months," continued
Guzzo. "If you think you know horror, you
are in for a surprise. If you think you've been
scared, you are dead wrong. If you think you've
heard Death Metal, you better clean out your ears....and
if you see something out of the corner of your
eye, worry...because Hart Fisher is coming and
chances are he's standing right in back of you!
Sally Jesse? Are you rolling over in your grave
yet?”
Mr.
Fisher is currently seeking out more indie
filmmakers, feature films, shorts and horror
themed music videos to be part of the American
Horrors brand that reaches into tens of
millions of households across countries
including France, Germany, Sweden, Norway,
Switzerland, Austria and now America via
Broadcast television, DVD, VOD and Internet
downloads. Anyone interested in seeking
out more information or wishes to submit
their work for review, please contact us

WET WORK HORROR
AUTHOR & FANGORIA
SCRIBE PHILLIP NUTMAN TOURS THE USA SUPPORTING
CITIES OF NIGHT!
LOS ANGELES,
CA - Screenwriter (JACK KETCHUM’S
THE GIRL NEXT DOOR), novelist (the acclaimed,
best selling WET
WORK, the forthcoming FULL THROTTLE),
comic book scribe/editor, and FANGORIA magazine’s
original British Correspondent, Phillip Nutman
has been brining horrors, real and imagined,
to avid readers around the world for close
to 30 years. And now he’s taking his show
on the road to promote CITIES
OF NIGHT with what he calls the “Hard
Night’s Day Global Tour” which kicked
off at the sold out World Horror Convention
in Brighton, England at the end of March
this year.
“The first part of the tour is done,” Nutman
said from his home base in Atlanta, Georgia. “Brighton
was a blast; the official US debut at Eagle
Eye Books here in Decatur was a great success,
and The Dark Carnivale of Lost Souls at the
Alcove Art Gallery was a riot – over 100 friends
and Faithful Readers, movin’ and a groovin’
to burlesque performances by Talloolah Love
and Melanie Magnifique, astounding magic by
Chad Sandborn, and the lush electronica of
Fader Vixen: no one throws a book launch party
like this!” Nutman laughs. “But it
couldn’t have happened without the support
and encouragement of Chris & Sherri Warner
of Alcove, Chef Anthony Pittelli of Café Lily,
who provided scrumptious catering, or the terrific
performers who agreed to be a part of The Dark
Carnivale.”
The second leg of the Hard Night’s Day tour
kicks off at the sold out Necon XXX in mid
July, and will be followed by independent bookstore
signings around the south east US in August. “Details
are currently being worked out,” Nutman
adds. “Check my Web site for info on a
weekly basis because even I don’t know where
I’ll be in August.”
The acclaimed writer will be at Dragon*Con
in Atlanta over Labor Day weekend and a guest
at Spooky Empire’s Weekend of Horrors in Orlando,
FL, mid October. “I’ve been a Nutman fan
since Wet Work,” said Hart D. Fisher "Cities
of Night is more debauched horror fun from
a guy who’s been walkin’ the walk for nearly
30 years. Go out there, get his book, get an
autograph and try not to get bit.”

THE DISTURBING
TRUE STORY OF THE MURDER BEHIND THE GARBAGE MAN
AT THE UNIVERSITY
OF ILLINOIS...
When best selling true crime author Corey Mitchell
sent Michelle McKee, the editor of his #1
True Crime site (In Cold Blog), out looking
for a 1st Amendment champion that pulled
no punches, she got all of that and more in horror
creator Hart D. Fisher. What has come forth from
this union has been a heart wrenching tale of
rape, murder and utter mayhem, a story of a marked
man and his nearly decade long secret battle
to keep a killer behind bars. If Mr. Fisher had
deep scars to hide from the public, they are
all revealed here in a riveting series of articles
published once a month at In Cold Blog (http://incoldblogger.blogspot.com).
“While he defended his rights in front of
a national audience Hart Fisher was suffering
in his own private Hell.” Offers
Michelle McKee, “Fisher was not only
defending his right to publish material that
the family members of Jeffrey Dahmer’s victims
found objectionable, he was also attending
a murder trial [as a major witness].”
While Mr. Fisher’s work through his controversial
publishing house, Boneyard Press, was being lynched
in the mainstream media on shows like The
Jerry Springer Show, Entertainment Tonight,
and A Current Affair, his personal life was a warzone filled
with death threats, violence, rape and robbery,
but the worst was yet to come. Seven days into
shooting his first feature film, The
Garbage Man, Mr. Fisher suffered a loss that
would break him utterly, the brutal rape and murder
of his first love and live-in girlfriend, Michelle
Davis, during a horrific motel robbery.
Mr. Fisher was a key witness in the 3 separate
trials of Eric Daniels, the murderer of his love.
Each trial more brutal, more gut twisting than
the last, with fistfights in the jury room, a murderer
nearly set free, a prison guard stabbed in the
face, all secrets Mr. Fisher kept from the public
while he fought for his 1st amendment freedoms
at every turn.
For the first time ever, the riveting author of Poems
for the Dead writes about this and much
more. If you thought you knew Hart D. Fisher,
think again.
Here are links and excerpts from Hart Fisher’s
riveting true account of the murder and madness
that went on behind the set of his first feature
film, The Garbage Man: READ

“I knew what was going
on. I knew what they needed
to get hunting. He went
down his list too slow.
When I had to describe
the tattoo I’d drawn for
her, the one on her belly,
the one they identified
the body with, I knew her
face had been fucked up. I knew someone hurt
her before it ended.” READ

“Her grandmother was
telling people in Dallas,
where she had went to high
school, that I’d filmed
her murder for my movie
The Garbage Man. A few
weeks earlier I was sitting
at Grandma’s kitchen table,
drinking her lemonade,
laughing. Now I couldn’t
believe what she was saying
about me.” READ
ARTICLE “Without thinking,
I pushed the cassette in.
My ears burned. Listening
to it hurt. At one point
I had to pull over to the
side of the road. My hands
trembled. I put my head
down on the wheel. At home
I knew there was mail to
sort, dogs to feed, and
death threat messages to
delete.” READ

“San Diego is surreal. I’m a mess. Home is
worse. I know her killer is locked up somewhere
in town. I want him like I’ve never wanted
anything in my life before. I want to feel
him breaking under my knuckles. I want to bathe
in his screams. I want to bruise his soul.
The brutality of this need pushes… I’m hanging on as hard
as I can but I’ve spun
out way over the edge.” READ
ARTICLE
“Now Daniels was telling folks that he had
a relationship with Michelle. The press was all
over it. Black male assailant, pretty white girl,
yeah they loved this goddamn story, ran it right
into the ground. The police needed me to testify
as to Michelle’s physical condition before she
went to work. They needed me to testify on the
witness stand about our sex life. They wanted
to know if Michelle liked to be hit, if I had
hit her, if we had rough sex.” READ
ARTICLE
“She was crying, his fist was angry, so goddamn
angry, yelling at her. She had her hands up,
her head ducked down, trying to hide from those
fists. I watched the fist coming down again and
again while he spun her around with his grip
on her t-shirt. I could see the tears on her
face in the street light, the pain of the blows.
I knew about pain. I knew about fists.” READ
ARTICLE
“I’m going to kill him. I’m going to kill
him in the center of the courtroom, with my bare
goddamn hands. No one will stop me. The courtroom
is small. HE’ll be too close. I think of it.
I think of him. I hear he doesn’t like it in
his cage… it’s supposed to make me feel better,
them telling me that… It doesn't."

CONTROVERSIAL 1ST AMENDMENT WARRIOR,
HART D. FISHER, JOINS LEADING TRUE CRIME SITE,
IN COLD BLOG
LOS ANGELES, CA — In Cold Blog
(ICB), founded by Los Angeles Times and Borders
International best selling author Corey Mitchell,
is the Internet’s leading true crime blog. With
several contributing writers that cover the gamut
from Pulitzer Prize nominees, award winning journalists
and authors, criminal justice and medical professionals,
victim’s rights advocates and even family members
of the victim of a serial killer, In Cold Blog
has been providing a unique voice to issues involving
crime and justice since June 2007.
When In Cold Blog’’s editor, Michelle McKee, went
looking for someone to represent the voice of America’s
freedom of speech, censorship, morality gone wrong,
exploitation, and the removal of one’s Constitutional
guarantee of freedom, she looked no further than
the notorious publisher of Boneyard Press, Hart
D. Fisher.
Fisher’s opinions on serial killers and serial
killer culture have been sought by numerous television
producers for programs such as ABC's DayOne, CNN's
Murder By Numbers, Entertainment Tonight, Larry
King Live, The Jerry Springer Show, CNN Headline
News, A&E's Biography, and in magazines such
as Time, Tattoo Savage, Hero Illustrated, People,
The Comics Journal, and the non-fiction best seller
The A-Z Guide to Serial Killers, to name only a
few.
An individual who takes his work to the extreme,
Fisher pushes the envelope on the boundaries of
freedom of expression beyond that which many are
comfortable with. His work has been banned and
pulled from shelves and his books have been destroyed
by the distribution house itself.
With credits dotting his portfolio that include
the production of indie horror films, the creation
of serial killer comic books, the production of
pornography, horror porn to be specific, as well
as critically acclaimed poetry, Hart D. Fisher
has been called one of the "100 Most Important
People In The Comics Industry" by Hero Illustrated.
He has also been one of the most universally despised
individuals to have ever set foot in adult theme
comics, let alone within in the crime genre itself.
As the controversial publisher behind Boneyard
Press, Fisher created Jeffrey Dahmer: An Unauthorized
Biography of a Serial Killer, A comic book that
started a firestorm which brought death threats,
stalkers, lawsuits, protest marches, including
a threatened KKK protest march on his home in Illinois,
a SWAT team to his door, and a request by the local
police to leave town.
As managing editor of Glenn Danzig’s publishing
company Verotik, Fisher created a comic book murder
story, Verotika #4, “A Taste of Cherry,” that
was considered to be so offensive and obscene it
shut down Planet Comics in Oklahoma City in the
early 90’s and the work was banned. It is still
banned in that state today.
Even OJ Simpson has sued Fisher for his satirical
portrayal in Boneyard Press’ comic book creations.
Hart Fisher produces the type of material that
members of the morality police generally object
to. His work is considered by some to be vile and
offensive, and it is exactly the type of unpopular
speech that is at the forefront of assaults by
the so called moral majority against our Constitutional
liberties. It is the type of material that is typically
blamed for various public ills and criminal activity;
after all, we've all heard what the Uptight Ninny
Brigade has to say about sex crimes, metal music
and video games.
Fisher couldn't be a more appropriate voice representing
freedom of expression, and the shredding of the
Untied States Constitution. Hart D. Fisher has
fought for his right as an American citizen to
exercise his freedom of speech – and he has lost.
HARRY MANFREDINI BLED DRY ON AMERICAN HORRORS
THE FRIDAY THE 12TH HORROR MAESTRO SPILLS HIS
GUTS TO HART D. FISHER ON AMERICAN HORRORS
LOS ANGELES, CA- As the sun
set on Friday August 22nd, horror film music
maestro, Harry Manfredini,
sat down with the scariest man in America, Hart
D. Fisher, to talk film score composition,
the creation of the iconic FRIDAY THE
13th scores, his life long association
and friendship with Sean S. Cunningham,
and so much more.
“Manfredini created one of the most recognizable
horror themes in the world for Friday the 13th.” Said
producer Hart D. Fisher. “It’s right up there
with the Jaws theme, and to have had the opportunity
to speak with this man about horror filmmaking,
editing, and what makes a horror film score tick,
that was a real honor for me.”
“I showed up for a little interview at 8’o’clock,
but by the time I left it was 1 in the morning.” Said
the legendary fright film composer. “Between
the great wine and the great conversation, I didn't’t
want to leave. I can’t wait to see this interview
hit the airwaves.”
