Open auditions will be held at the Regent Street Retreat on Thursday 22nd from 6 - 8PM.

WARNING: This should say "I can't wait to take advantage of you and then hide." Seriously, if you value your time, money or sanity, then do NOT work with this lying, desperate loser.

I just saw a youTube video where this man (and I use the term very loosely) is getting ready for the Harlots audition and is spouting a bunch of make-believe crap about this year's past horror film festival and about the people who worked with him. So according to him, I was one of the girls who "flipped out" and left Madison Horror, and that he did everything for the festival pretty much alone without any outside help. He also claimed to someone else that we all "bailed on him." Nothing could be further from the truth.

First of all, for over a year I helped this lying drunkard in many different ways: the two of us Harlots did many events for Madison Horror both in and out of town, we spent a lot of time on shooting the podcast episodes, did all this for NO PAY and even spent a lot of our own money on costumes and travel. I arranged and provided everything for promotional photo shoots and I drove him out of town many times in my car to attend conventions and did promotions myself in Chicago and other cities with no reimbursement, I even gave him monthly bus passes since he cannot drive due to several drunk driving convictions, so my car (and gas) has been the main mode of transportation for everything over the past year since I was the only one with a vehicle and my boyfriend was also shooting, producing, and directing the podcast show and helped with many other events. So what do I get in return for being such a true friend and providing so much help?

Well first of all the other Harlot and I were completly cut out of all the promotion (posters/emails/flyers) for the film festival as if we didn't exist, because "Freakshow" wanted to feature himself and June "The Meat" Cleaver as a couple, and even designed the posters so that they would be featured together prominently in the center with a huge picture, and the guests, including Stuart Gordon, got smaller billing, and we actual Harlots were left out. It claimed that June was from the Bordello of Horror podcast, but she never shot a single episode. He ceremoniously dumped us because he is obsessed with June who is engaged to be married, but expected us to be at the film festival all weekend to prance around and do promotion, even though she would not be there. And then he blamed me for hacking into his internet accounts to sabotage him, which is ridiculous, and I'm not even capable of doing. Then at the festival he kept disappearing to go drink and left early both days without telling anyone, so that we had to stay late and take care of everything. At the end of it all he stiffed everyone involved: did not pay the theater at all, did not pay Stuart Gordon his full fee, did not reimburse Bill Rebane for his expenses, and the director of Incest Death Squad got nothing for the successful premiere on Friday night. He said, "Let them sue me." Nice attitude. However we know for a fact that enough money was made to cover expenses, but it vanished and he now claims he lost money on the festival, which is bullshit. When we asked about finances and pestered him to pay off Stuart and the theater at least, he told us it was "no concern" of ours despite all of our hard work and the fact that our own money, time and reputation were invested. After the festival he refused to answer his phone or emails and pretended he was not at home to avoid his debtors and everyone pissed off at him--and he stole off with the original print of Re-animator and it needed to be shipped to Chicago ASAP for another festival, so we were unnecessarily panicked. And to add injury to insult he claims that we 'bailed on' him as if we are the irresponsible parties, when thanks to all his mistakes and compulsive lying he basically screwed over everyone as much as possible.

And then he claims that no one helped him with the festival and he did it on his own, which is ludicrous. My boyfriend Vince basically carried the entire festival on his own shoulders and without him and Cory Udler (of IDS) it surely would not have happened. The supposed 'director' dropped the ball on everything-- he passed up chances to do promotion on CW and other media outlets and only used his stupid, inaccurate posters, Vince paid for advertising in the isthmus out of his own pocket, and also went all over town trying to get sponsorships from businesses-- and Vince was entirely responsible from start to finish for the Autism Awarenss charity fundraiser and raffle that we did, getting every donated item himself. Furthermore that liar was responsible for none of the female guests attending, because being characteristically unprofessional, he never booked any of the flights for the guests, did not bother to inform some of them that they had to be cancelled and left them confused, asked one of the actresses to pay her own way at the last minute-- he basically did hardly anything in comparison except to botch things up, make it overly complicated, kept everyone in the dark about finances-- and Vince was left stressed out and scrambling the last week before the festival to try to get money from sponsors, book the flights, fix the schedule, communicate with the guests, contact the filmmakers for rights to show Stuart's films (which the director did not even want to bother with), arrange getting the film prints, and just about everything else. And then that green-painted ass clown takes all the credit for any success we did have.

Like most rock-bottom alcoholics, he is desperate and unwilling to take responsibility for his actions and is laying the blame on all of his former supporters for his mistakes because he is a miserable, pathetic, and despicable human being. He should be avoided like the plague.

The previous post by Zloduska was meant to be slanderous and is full of half truths and innacurate information. I am not going to justify this post with corrections or unnecessary explanations.

[Zloduska]

No, that is 100% the truth and everyone involved knows that. You are just in denial and refuse to accept responsibility for your actions and place the blame on everyone else because you are a raging alcoholic and a compulsive liar. I swear on my life that what *I* say is completely accurate. You can't make "corrections" on the truth, unless you want to spew more make-believe crap.

The fact is that we helped you out tremendously for a long time and provided a lot of support and in the end you take all the credit and stab everyone in the back, myself included. I would leave it alone except that you have to provoke my wrath by spreading blatant lies about us. I think people in the small horror community here deserve to know the truth about you and what you have done. It was one thing to eff us over, but to rip off Stuart Gordon is going too far- especially after how gracious he was and a huge asset to the festival. If you like I can post a direct email from Stuart himself that says you still owe him money-- shall I? And the staff at Market Square was also wonderful, but you messed up our chances of working with them in the future too.

I can't believe you are so deluded that you expect to do another horror festival when you never pay anyone what you owe and don't even care! And that you make yourself out to be the victim, as if everyone left you high and dry when in fact you screwed over everyone, hid like a coward, and then lied about it. I'm sure you are going to be a failure without all of us propping you up a la Weekend At Bernies. You can't even make it through a single day of movies without shaking and running off early to get booze. All you did was run around or stand at the ticket table, then ran off hours early without telling anyone, while Vince did most of the work. According to you he was "just there", which is total bullshit. If you think you can handle a TV show, podcast, and film festival on your own, that's a joke. I'm sure you will manipulate other people into doing all the work for you and then pretend otherwise. Again. And good luck finding a venue willing to host you when you never pay the fees. You really screwed the pooch with Market Square, and now there are a lot of people who are no longer willing to work with you.

[Peacetrain]

what happened to the original post? kinda hard to follow along without knowing what started this thread

[madhorror]

No, that is 100% the truth and everyone involved knows that. You are just in denial and refuse to accept responsibility for your actions and place the blame on everyone else because you are a raging alcoholic and a compulsive liar.

Notice the bold words here. These are directed at an individual not a subject here on the forum. That means you should take your thoughts to the person directly and not on this forum. I think it was October 3rd when you said you never wanted to talk to me ever again...ok, so you want to talk...this is directed to me let's talk I got plenty of answers for you...just not in public. You're not gonna like what you hear...it will prove you wrong, Which I won't try and tell the whole world about cause I'm not like that...not childish that is. Your post is still full of bull***t!

[Zloduska]

Wrong-- it *is* directed at a subject on the forum, because you frequently post about everything related to Madison Horror and try to promote events, futhermore the film festival I was involved in was featured on the website and in print for the Isthmus. People should know the truth about what really happened and not your make-believe version of events. And I did try to contact you personaly but you *always* ignore my many emails, text messages and facebook posts. I asked you to remove my images from your shit-tastic website and other places but you refuse. You had the opportunity to talk to those involved in the festival directly, and instead you chose to lie, avoid everyone, and hide like the coward that you are. Also, I have the right to defend myself and my reputation because you are the one who first chose to PUBLICLY lie about myself and others involved with festival, by posting your bogus, amateur youTube video. And since you seem only partly literate, I will state yet again that I did not WANT any further contact with you, but you chose to provoke a response by publicly lying about myself, my boyfriend, and my friends and threatening our reputations.

It seems that the only way to even get a response from you is to publicly call you out on your awful behavior. We know for a fact that during and after the film festival you avoided the manager of Market Square because he was contacting us to try to get in contact with you and said he was not paid, and we tried to help him by providing contact info including your work number; we know for a fact that you took off with the Re-animator film print and when Vince was desperately trying to contact you to recover it and ship it to Chicago at the last minute for the other festival (threatening their event also), you hid from him and refused to answer emails/calls and you even admitted this to a third party; finally we received a direct email from Stuart Gordon saying that he had not been paid in full and was trying to contact you and waiting for his fee-- yet another reason why it was necessary to publicly shame you, because it's only recently after I did this that we heard that you FINALLY (a month later) contacted the theater and Stuart to work out payment arrangments. Again, you are so full of crap.

So let me get this straight-- you are claiming that several people directly involved in the festival, the theater manager AND Stuart Gordon ares somehow boldly lying about everything, but you and only you are telling the truth?! Hah! What is it exactly are you claiming that I did wrong? Oh, yeah-- I was gullible enough to actually help you out tremendously, investing my own time, money, and effort into making Madison Horror more successful for over a year and acting like a true friend. Instead of appreciation, I got stabbed in the back and had misinformation spread about all of us involved. And on top of that you deny that Vince did the majority of the work for the festival and that you basically fell apart and effed everything up at the last minute. You are responsible for the mistakes that were made, you are the one who kept taking off during the festival and left early and was unbelievably unprofessional. There are mutual friends, eye-witnesses, the manager from the venue, the female guests that never got a chance to be there, and the actual guests who can back up EVERYTHING I say. And now you are making a pathetic attempt to backpeddle and act as if you have some kind of proof to support your fantasy world. The truth is that you HAVE nothing and you ARE nothing. Just stay in your bourbon-filled bubble protected from reality and let real adults attempt to enrich the local horror film scene with events, screenings, and festivals. So far your feeble attempts are a JOKE and you will only continue to be pitied, scorned, and snickered at.

[madhorror]

Blah, Blah, Blah, fucking Blah, Blah Blah. I did't even read this one. Glanced at it and BTW, your mug has been off the site for awhile, you never had to say a thing about that. It was just gone.

[Zloduska]

Wow, are you basically incapable of telling the truth at this point?! Every word I've heard or seen from you has been a bold and blatant lie. First of all, my picture was up on that horrible website and facebook for a long time after I said I was done with your mess, and I checked to see if it was gone at least a week after I posted messages demanding they stop being used, and they were still up there. If you took them down then it was very recently, and like everything else, you only acted on it after I mentioned it publicly that you ignored my previous requests.

The only reason you are now pretending that you haven't read my post is that you do not want to admit that I am right, you are wrong, and have been lying all along. I called you out and you won't admit it. First you said that what I was saying was all misinformation and but you didn't want to bother responding publicly, that we could discuss it privately-- but you ignored all my previous attempts and communication, and even when we emailed you AFTER this you replied, "I am not going to send you copies of any paperwork because you would probably just further spread my personal business on the internet... Beyond that, I will have to go through both posts and point out each and every inaccuracy. That will take a day or so."

And then you never responded, never disputed a single thing I said because you KNOW every word of it is true. So you tell us we have to talk to you privately, trying to save face in public, then you refuse to answer to anything when we do. You lie non-stop to others to try to make yourself look better than the disgusting crook that you are and sully my reputation to discount what I say, and when anyone tries to hold you accountable you avoid contact, spout non-sequitur nonsense and evade all questions. You play the victim while screwing over everyone who has ever helped you. I dare you to publicly prove that anything I am saying is untrue. But I already know you can't.

The most ironic and amusing part is that you basically proved my point for me by writing: "I do have payment arrangements made with the theater and they are still interested in working with me in the future. I have been in contact with Stuart Gordon's Lawyer and am taking care of that asap." Ok, so in a nutshell-- I claimed that you stiffed the theater for the festival and did not pay Stuart the full amount you owed him-- you replied and said that I was lying. If that's the case, and you DID pay Stuart in full and the theater on the last day of the event like you were supposed to, then why did you just recently have to talk to Stuart's lawyer and work out a payment arrangement with the theater? You just exposed your own lie, dumbass! The fact is we just talked to John, the manager of Market Square a few days ago and although you set something up you haven't yet paid them a DIME.

I think you've made it abundantly clear now that you are basically the lowest form of human life and are so wrapped up in your compulsive lying and out of touch with reality that you can't even keep your own bullshit straight. Again, People-- IF YOU VALUE YOUR TIME, MONEY, OR SANITY, THEN NEVER EVER UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES WORK WITH THIS MAN!!! I can't stress that enough. You can thank me later.

I think I’d have to believe Zloduska on this one. She seems to have an awful lot of facts and madhorror offers short denials and statements along the lines of, “I’m not an alcoholic, you’re an alcoholic”. Have another drink, madhorror. Burp.

[Pogoagogo]

I love this thread, and think I'm in love with Zloduska. Man, what a tool this freakshow/madhorror dude is.

[drinkinblackcoffee]

Greatest thread in a while. Mad Horror, your lack of any kind of retort is really making you sound like a douchebag. I'm inclined to believe most of what Zloduska is saying.
What I don't understand is if Zloduska and her boyfriend Vince did 99% of the work, why not take it over as your own gig and really stick it to him? You are obviously passionate about the local horror film community and were doing this for the love from the get-go. What exactly did MadHorror have that drew people to him as the center of the whole festival? BTW- if the whole thing was more a hobby than a job, you don't get to bitch about gas money and the like.

[madhorror]

Well, here you go folks. If you would like to see my side of the story, the videos in question and more go to www.madisonhorror.com .

Totally agree this is one of the best threads in a while, I smile every time I see it near the top of the "Most popular" on the Forum tab.

I was thinking the exact same thing when this thread started up. Give this shaky shart the boot and take over the ship. You guys seem to enjoy this stuff more than the average Jane/Joe, and you obviously have a decent amount experience. Do-t to-it.

As the Vince mentioned in this thread I can tell you that I had been hoping to avoid making this a public spectacle. I had succeeded in doing so until Rich posted the "Behind the Freakshow" video to YouTube, which was the straw that broke the camel's back, after which I could no longer hope to contain Zloduska's fury.

Given that this continues to be a public debate despite my best efforts, in the next week I will be crafting a public response addressing Rich's 'retaliation' (his chosen word, not mine) posted to the Madison Horror website.

I would like to quickly point out the fact that in his 'retaliation', regarding the "Behind the Freakshow" video Rich states: "That video was shot in segments and what you conceived and what I was actually trying to convey are two different things", as well as "I did say that I had done everything pretty much myself. I was about to go on and talk about Vince's participation and how he helped out but the guy working the camera, shut it off and started with a different question."

So Rich is trying to explain away the issue by stating that a video that apparently does not convey his intention was somehow posted to his YouTube account. He also attempts to place blame on "the guy working the camera". I'll let you draw your own conclusion from that.
