Writer, Producer, Director Angelo Bell is a hands-on kind of guy

We Love Hands-On People

If you’ve been around this blog, you know that we can’t say it enough: if you want to break in to Hollywood, go make some stuff.

Even if you finish a film you never show anyone, you’ll be leaps and bounds ahead of all those “wannabes” who never “get to be.”

Guys like David Baker (who we did a series of posts on here) know that creating your own opportunities leads to career success.

Meet Angelo Bell

Angelo’s one of those guys who’s taking his career into his own hands. Rather than sit back and whine that Hollywood wasn’t banging down his door, he charged ahead and made his own opportunities.

Biagio is off editing our documentary Dying to do Letterman, and has entrusted me with the reigns to this week’s Scream Queens behind-the-scenes post.

Allow me to channel my inner-Biagio…

THE CAMPY SIDE OF HORROR

When we start developing a season of Scream Queens, we know there will be an episode that deals with the campy side of horror. Zombies, Vampires, Werewolves…it’s all too much fun NOT to include.

Plus, the chance to make a fake movie trailer for a campy movie in just one day is one exhilarating challenge. It gets everyone, from the cast to the crew excited. It’s the day that’s the most work, yet the most rewarding.

Being true to the horror genre is something we’ve worked very hard to do in every episode of Scream Queens. So you can imagine our hootin’ and hollerin’ when we learned one of the ultimate Scream Queens, Debbie Rochon, agreed to appear on our show, in an episode about “The Sexy Side of Horror.”

Welcome to Episode 4 of Scream Queens

Let’s get right down to it: this week’s challenge featured an amazing guest star, and offered a big-time prize. Debbie Rochon, named Scream Queen of the Decade, showed up to judge our ladies in a challenge with real-world stakes. It would be a photo shoot recreating classic horror archetypes. The prize? A photo spread in Fangoria Magazine!

This is harder than it looks. As you’ve seen in the teasers, on this coming episode of Scream Queens our ladies are dancing with a giant snake…the same snake that graced the shoulders of Britney Spears.

When you’re making a TV show, there are days when every single thing goes totally wrong.

But sometimes, you get exactly what you want.

Welcome to Episode 3 of Scream Queens

After wanting to scratch our eyeballs out and die in pain rather than spend one more millisecond on episode 2 of Scream Queens, I was pretty much convinced our season was cursed. Turns out, only episode 2 was cursed (that was more than enough!)

Still, episode three was going to present a lot of challenges. What else would you expect when you’re working with the guys from Avatar and 10,000 maggots in the same hour of TV?

April 18, 2017August 14, 2010 by Biagio

If you’ve been watching our show, Vh1’s Scream Queens, you know that on episode two, the vivacious Rosanna Pansino got the axe, after the pressures of reality TV caused her to shut down a bit.

However, Rosanna has no regrets, and has been doing great since her perky exit, earning gigs on Warren the Ape, Glee, and an upcoming indy film…and of course, her now legendary appearance on everyone’s favorite podcast, NSFW.

We sat down with Rosanna to hear all about it, and to answer YOUR questions. In part one of the interview, Rosanna fills us in on what’s been happening since her time on the show.

A Cursed Episode of Scream Queens

April 18, 2017August 11, 2010 by Biagio

Rosanna Pansino, one of the kindest actresses you’ll ever meet.

During each season of TV we ever make, there’s one episode in which everything goes wrong. One episode that makes us want to quit the biz, curl up in to a ball, and die.

One episode…that’s cursed.
