Posted on by

For our latest announcement we super proud and excited to bring in a tattoo artist for Grossfest who will have their own room to work in to do tattoos for Grossfest attendees. (More details on pricing and other such things will be posted closer to the convention). This person is one of the most talented artists I have ever had the pleasure of meeting, consider them a great personal friend, and a very inventive make-up effects person on Indy films when they are not tattooing. With great excitement and pleasure let me introduce yinz all to the ultra-talented and super horror movie fan Angel O’Connor! She works at the Empire Tattoo Shop off of Meyran Ave in the Oakland area of Pittsburgh. Stop by the shop make an appointment, meet the other cool people who work there, see the artwork… Here are a couple of things Angel has done (which these pics do not do her justice of how talented she is)

Well we have a very special guest that it wouldn’t feel like Grossfest unless we have this super talented individual… This person has won a Fango Chainsaw award, the Grossfest Lifetime Achievement Award, and most recently best Pittsburgh filmmaker award! This person has found a way for people to go ape shit over cat movies, make an Amityville holiday movie worth watching, and a trilogy about a freakin amusement park object that comes to life! He deserves the awards and we should enjoy the fact he is still here in the Pittsburgh area to hang with us common folk making his latest project because I can easily see a talent like him going to Hollywood and no longer being independent as we at Grossfest are proud to have once again Steve Rudzinski!

We are always on the lookout for new established independent filmmakers to bring into Grossfest. This person has acted many times in different Indy projects over the past decade but their true talent is directing and making the world stand up and pay attention to what they have filmed. This person in my opinion has figured out how not just to have their finger on the pulse of society but also walks up to the line of good taste without crossing it but mocking it a bit as they use their talent to make you laugh? The projects include: Fangboner, Gay for Pray: The Erotic Adventures of Jesus Christ, and Amityville Vibrator we at Grossfest are proud to introduce you to Nathan Rumler.

The next guest announcement is always a fan favorite among the independent fan base especially coming off their last film that has played in dozens of film festivals. Now this person has several cameos in independent films, produced several comedy DVDs, but really broke out in the past year with his latest release Hell Van! We at Grossfest are beyond excited to introduce you to one of the most underrated all-around talents out there … Jorge Delarosa!

Our next guest is a multi-talented hurricane force of an individual you could ever meet as this person has worked on many big named Indy projects such as: Slumber Party Slaughter Party, Frightvision, 13 Slays Till X-mas, Sharks of the Corn, CarousHell 2, Shingles the Movie but her biggest projects are yet to come as she has already directed The Embalmers and segments for a couple anthologies. As her good looks are only a slim part of which makes her a noticeable talent as her drive and focus in becoming a better filmmaker with an upcoming project Tin Roof  makes her a delight to look forward too for years to come! We wonderfully introduce yinz to Rebecca Rinehart.

This excellent dude may have directed a Grossfest favorite (Hexercise) but what many don’t know but soon will as he is getting offered bigger and bigger independent film projects to compose music for. He is fast becoming one of the best composers in the independent horror genre as his work was featured in such titles: 10/31, Clownado, Spirit Animal, Night of the Axe, Bathtub Shark Attack, and more recent the Spider Baby remake as we are excited to introduce as a guest for Grossfest 2024, Matt Cannon… also appearing with Matt is Victor Butler who was the detective in Hexercise.

Of course for our next guest announcement we didn’t want to forget another talented duo that was not able to make 2023 Grossfest because of illness. So we made sure to get them back on board for 2024 as they want to see what Grossfest is all about? They are Cleveland’s first horror hostess and Late Night Missing Link who have done a show for nearly a decade and their show is on several streaming platforms and still expanding! The entertaining duo not only pays tribute to past horror hosts but find a way to separate themselves from the pack into being something entirely special and unique to watch almost every Friday. They are fun, cool, beyond entertaining may we again introduce yinz all to The Mummy and The Monkey!

First guest announcement for Grossfest 2024

So for our first guest announcement we really wanted to bring in someone different who hadn’t been in the Pittsburgh area ever! But also person or persons who are super talented where Grossfest fans will be chomping it to bit to meet them? The first half of this talented duo is a writer, producer, actor, director and not only has made some interesting films he runs a company that is well known by east coast independent horror fans for over the past decade. Second half of this talented duo has acted in over 25 Indy films and has a screen presence that just jumps off the screen as this person has become a huge fan favorite. Both have recently put in one hell of an effort of giving us possibly their best film to date in “Swamp Woman” from Gatorblade Films! May we introduce yinz too, Sean Donohue and Sushii Xhyvette Holder.
