Patrick Greene (Room 422 and Into the Small Hours)

Drawings from Patrick’s early childhood display morbidity beyond those delicate years; childishly-rendered skulls, piles of dead bodies, and monsters of every variety occupy those early sketches, to be supplemented later by tales of madness and the macabre as he learned to write.  But Greene maintains that the real defining moment of his lifetime obsession with horror began with a sneak viewing of the classic shower scene from Psycho.

Perhaps it’s no surprise, then, that, along with weird fantasy and horror stories, Greene is also a part of the burgeoning horrotica movement, stories combining sexual thrills and scary chills in more or less equal measure.

Film, too, is a favorite medium for Greene’s self-expression, allowing him the opportunity to portray usually less-than-sympathetic characters in Sinkhole, A Dance for Bethany, Bell Witch: The Movie, and other films.  Currently, several of his original screenplays are in development, including the apocalyptic thriller S.O.L. at Chatsby Films, The Mourning Portrait, a period horror movie co-written with award-winning filmmaker Paul Schattel, and Seraphim, a violent supernatural slasher flick, with Saint/Sinner Entertainment.

All three are slated for 2011 shoots.
