Dr. Gangrene’s Creature Feature Is Back In Action
A staple of local programming in
The New season of Dr. Gangrene's Creature Feature has some surprises in store. Movies will now be broadcast with FACT-O-RAMA, a technology that allows interesting factoids about the films to appear on screen during the movie. This running commentary will bring new life to films you may have seen dozens of times before, or add substance for first time viewers.
In true B-movie director William Castle fashion, we are proud to present these films in FACT-O-RAMA, said Dr. Gangrene. Our tenth season promises to be our best yet, with new features, films, and fun. Viewers are in for a real treat, and a few tricks, too
As always, Dr. Gangrene is joined by his lovely assistant Nurse Moan-Eek (Linda Wylie). Together they guide you through the film through comedic and sometimes perilous adventures.
New Valiant Productions Cameron McCasland and Michael Creason have joined the Creature Feature Staff to Direct and Produce episodes alongside creator Larry Underwood. Earlier this year, McCasland & Creason helped develop the “Go Green With Dr. Gangrene” campaign. The Environmentally friendly ads became an immediate hit, with over 80,000 hits on the web including the newly launched www.gogreencrusade.com
In celebration of ten years on the air, Dr. Gangrene was recently invited to throw out the first pitch at a Nashville Sounds baseball game. Dr. Gangrene has also launched new pages on Facebook, as well as Myspace.com/drgangrenecreaturefeature for fans of the hit television show. Several public appearances have been scheduled before years end.

New Valiant news!
New Valiant Goes Green With Dr. Gangrene
For immediate release:
Larry Underwood who portrays the Mad Scientist Dr Gangrene stated, “It's important that we take care of our city and our environment. Even little things can add up to a big difference if we all take part. The “Go Green with Dr. Gangrene” Campaign is our effort to help promote environmental and safety tips. If everyone works together we can have a safer, cleaner city for everyone to enjoy.”
New Valiant Productions plan to premiere the series of newly completed shorts (produced by Michael Creason and directed by Cameron McCasland) on Creature Feature’s home station WNAB Nashville CW 58 as well as on the web through their official web page www.newvaliant.com, on the New Valiant Myspace page, www.myspace.com/newvaliant and Youtube channel www.youtube.com/newvaliantprod .
When asked about what brought this project together director Cameron McCasland stated, “This is our attempt to think globally and act locally. I think most people know they should be doing something to help make a cleaner planet, but have no clue where to start. As filmmakers, we wanted to provide information to viewers, while being entertaining. We tried to blend both the horror and comedy themes that Dr. Gangrene and Nurse Moan-Eek are known for while educating people on simple tasks that are good for the planet as a whole. The Creature Feature crew was responsive to our ideas for Going Green With Dr. Gangrene and it was a lot of fun using a zombie apocalypse as a metaphor for saving the planet.”
The initial rollout includes three shorts titled “Bonehead” which tells the importance of safety belts. “Two Lane Trash Stop” that explains the dangers of highway litter. And “Trash Day Of The Dead” a tongue in cheek commentary on the evils of litter, set in downtown
Producer Michael Creason had this to say about the classic cinema perspective spun with the new shorts. “With the ever growing emphasis on a global movement, we at New Valiant hope to do our part by capturing the attention of the people and families of middle
In a world where even Mad Scientist do their part to save the planet, we may have finally turned the corner for a better tomorrow for everyone.

Ok so I have just agreed to do 2 films with Vince D'Amato http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1410503/ and "Creepy six films" in
Hopefully Vince will be updating his web site soon but for now you can get more info on them here http://www.creepysixfilms.com/index.php
There is "Bind" (set to shoot in September http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1185839/) and we know about that one but there have been some cast changes and I think Julie Krystina is no longer attached.
"Hangar" and "Star Vehicle" by Ryan Nicholson (Gutterballs and more http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0629913/ ) set to film late 2008. There is a short synopsis for "Star Vehicle" on the plotdigger web site here http://www.plotdigger.com/films.html
I will be playing a teamster boss in "Star Vehicle" and we are still discussing roles for "Hangar". "Hangar" will really be an odd one. I get the idea Ryan is getting into something very dark with this one and almost surreal. Not sure which one we will be filming first and I think he is waiting till "Bind" is done as he is doing the effects.
I have also just agreed to play the part of "Mick" a crime bosses right hand and hit man in a film by Marcus Koch of "Oddtopsy Fx" called "Baby doll" hopefully filming in January 2009. I think he is still trying to negotiate financing, just between you and I.
Info on Marcus http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1155596/ and http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=19985718&MyToken=6ede2322-3f33-4209-84fe-c512186e15fe and his web site (under construction) http://oddtopsyfx.com/
"Baby doll" has a MySpace as well http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=242748388
