“Harker and the Shadow of Dracula” debuts on Audible worldwide, and other great audio platforms, Christmas 2024! 




Posted 3/18/23

 



I’m thrilled to work again with Ellie Torrez , who co-starred with me in “Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde” over twenty years-ago!

Ellie voices Mina Harker, in this direct sequel to Bram Stoker’s novel DRACULA. I’ve written the script, and will direct. It’s the first of three stand alone “Harker” audio adventures that we’ve planned, all part of the Vampire Hunters Incorporated world created by me and long-time writing partner Stuart Voytilla.

Casting has begun. I’ll be reaching out to actors over the month of April, with recording beginning in May (coincidently, Bram Stoker’s birthday month!).

These Harker stories have been long in the works, developing and writing them, and we’re very excited to bring them to life this year and share the first with you.

If you like your vampires dark and evil, your adventure swift and thrilling, and your sense of romance is somewhere in the neighborhood of Nick and Nora Charles, and Steed and Mrs. Peel, I hope you like what we’re coming up with, in “Harker and the Shadow of Dracula”.

Rest In Peace Make-up Artist Robert Yoho




Posted 10/20/23

 



 

I am deeply saddened today to hear that Robert Yoho has died. After seven months, cancer took him. Bob was the make-up artist who, greater than any lab potion Jekyll could concoct, transformed me into Edward Hyde, and the ancient flophouse proprietor Chaing, in our film “Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde” (2002). 

Bob was an extraordinarily gentle and caring man. His artistry was of the highest caliber. It’s because of Bob Yoho that I had a character to play, and that Hyde came to life. The collaboration between us, figuring out the several stages of Hyde through-out the story, was a joy. And the challenge I threw him after Ellie Torrez suggested I play Chaing was met with excitement, and Bob delivered, as always in his work, brilliantly. 

Bob, you are missed by so many. I hope, in however small a way, our little film is part of your legacy; a reminder of your great artistry. 

Thank you, Bob. ♥️

Award-winning filmmaker Mark Redfield, in this micro-budget independent feature film, mixes the events of Poe’s last days with imagery from his stories to create a dreamlike chronicle of Edgar Allan Poe’s final journey into madness and fear.

 

Starring Mark Redfield, Kevin G. Shinnick, Tony Tsendeas, and Jennifer Rouse

With J. R. Lyston, George Stover, David Ellis, Kimberly Hannold, Wayne Shipley, JimmyO Burrill, Chuck Richards, and Thomas E. Cole.

THE DEATH OF POE had its world premiere at The Festival of Fantastic Films, in Manchester, England, on September 30, 2006. The United States premiere was at The Charles Theatre in Baltimore, October 11, 2006. THE DEATH OF POE was released on home video in the US (in a 3-disc edition) by Alpha Home Entertainment on December 5, 2006.

“Another noir achievement for horror’s classic maverick iconoclast Mark Redfield.” - David Colton, USA TODAY

“The Death of Poe…is one of the finest movies yet made about Poe. Redfield’s acting is so persuasive that one can easily believe that this is what happened to the author…The film is dominated by Redfield’s performance; more than perhaps any other actor who attempted the role before him., Redfield IS Poe, both dramatically and physically. (The film) is almost decidedly grim, an exceptional tribute to Poe.” - Bruce G. Hallenbeck from the book “POE PICTURES The Film Legacy of Edgar Allan Poe” Tomahawk Press (2020)

“A fascinating, hallucinatory journey…” - M. J. Simpson, Fangoria Magazine

“Mark Redfield’s film is the true memorial that belongs on the gravestone of Edgar Allan Poe.” - Mondo Cult Magazine

REMEMBERING ROBERT QUARRY




Posted 11/3/15



Photo: ROBERT QUARRY "THE RETURN OF COUNT YORGA" (1971) 

I'm remembering my friend, actor Robert Quarry, on the anniversary of his birth, 3 November, 1925.  

Bob was a strong actor, an exceptionally intelligent man, a brilliant storyteller, and a loving, true friend. He is best remembered by film fans as portraying “Count Yorga, Vampire”  in a pair of low-budget shockers produced in the early 1970s.
