On October 28-30 2010 in Detroit, there will come a congregation of the most controversial fine art artists from across the world to display their darkest of creations at DAMNED III – An Exhibition of Enlightened Darkness. From the infamous, which recently included rock legend Marilyn Manson and Oscar winner HR Giger, to the freshest of local and international talent, this ominous assembly will exhibit a diversity of artistries from the deeply depraved to the intensely introspective guaranteed to intrigue, disturb, captivate or repulse. This was not Halloween-themed art but a submergence within the shadowed realms of consciousness through an unique ambiance of ethereal soundscapes, art-inspired gallery vignettes and cirque/butoh-inspired stage performances.
Then, on Devil’s Night (October 30), DAMNED will transform into a sensuous celebration beginning with an intimate six-course presentation style dinner followed by a formal masquerade ball within the milieu of exotic rhythms, floor performances and art.

MTV’s New Horror-Slasher Film, “Savage County”
Official Movie Poster By Vincent Castiglia
Working along with Designer Matthew Manos and “Savage County” film Director, David Harris (of MTV), Vincent has created a painting for the film’s official movie poster. The film is scheduled for debut in October, 2010.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
This year, MTV offered up its take on the slasher genre with My Super Psycho Sweet 16. Now, the network is exploring Savage County, which culls its inspiration from the mad hillbilly sub-genre.
This project, directed by David Harris, also features producers David Gale (Varsity Blues) and Craig Brewer (Hustle and Flow). Harris shot the film during the summer on hi-def in Memphis, Tennessee. Leading the cast is Mimi Michaels (Boogeyman 3).
Savage County is described as a tribute to The Texas Chainsaw Massacre with “great indie rock and rockabilly music and a twist of teen drama.”
Set before prom, a mismatched group of high school kids heads to a remote pond to party. When the beer runs dry, the conversation turns to daring Patrick, the runt of the group, into knocking on the door of the Hardells – the reclusive family that owns the land the pond is on.
Patrick takes up the dare, knocks on the Hardells’ door and finds himself staring down the barrel of a shotgun. When Patrick’s friends come to his defense, the oldest Hardell is killed in the shuffle. Scared and guilty – the teens flee the crime. When the rest of the Hardell clan finds the old man murdered, they seek out vengeance. One-by-one, the teens are hunted down by Orry, the sexually oppressed mute, Willard, the long-haired wildman, and Kasper, the cold-blooded family leader.
Look for Savage County in October, 2010!!!
*”Savage County” needs your votes!! Almost 10,000 fans a day have demanded to see Savage County!!! But we still need MORE. Please share the link on your Facebook wall and THANK YOU for your support!!
