Maggot Films

Art Ettinger of Ultra Violent Magazine and magGot films recently wrapped on an intimate 13 minute video interview with Ben Tatar. This will be featured on the upcoming Troma Films DVD release of The Hanging Woman (featuring Paul Naschy) which includes the film Sweet Sound of Death.

Ben directed the English dubbing of several Spanish films while in Madrid, Spain. His company Ameropa Studios was responsible for dubbing roughly between 200-250 films between 1968-1977. Sweet Sound of Death was one of the earliest films he dubbed for producer Sidney W. Pink (producer of the first 3D film Bwana Devil!) Ben also dubbed several of Paul Naschy’s films as well through those years, such as: Horror Rises From the Tomb and The Devil’s Possessed.

Ben covers many wonderful stories in the thirteen minute interview, the DVD will be available September 29, 2009. Orders are available through Amazon.com.

Drake Andrew Thomas Muncie

We have been burdened with some very real and truly saddening news. Drake Andrew Thomas Muncie has been removed from our world at an all too early age. Drake had quickly become a great friend, producer and collaborator. His family, friends as well as magGot films will miss him greatly. He won’t be forgotten.

We will be compiling video clips and creating a tribute to his memory. He will be forever remembered as a truly genuine, honest personality.

Within moments of meeting Drake, I knew I’d found a friend for life. His energy will always be an inspiration to me as well as all those he’d affected during his short life.

We’ll miss you buddy.

Our friend Ronny Carlsson from Film Bizarro just cooked up a trailer for an upcoming film he’s behind. It features porcelain magGot tunes. Give er a gander!
