Savage Hot Babe Massacre is written by award-winning screenwriter Steve Strangio. Steve wrote for Cracked Magazine for fifteen years before going on to produce live shows for the WWE. Steve has several screenplays in development and just recently optioned his feature length motion picture script “Journey to the Strip Mall”

The film will be directed by Rob Graydon. A director of music videos, commercials and documentaries, Rob has now shifted gears to narrative work. Rob has directed the video content and docs for the FANGORIA BLOOD DRIVE DVD SERIES, including working with Rob Zombie, Clive Barker and the late Stan Winston.

“Savage Hot Babe Massacre is pure parody while staying true to the horror genre,” stated Steve Strangio, the screenwriter and Executive Producer of the film. “This film is based on my award-winning stage play of the same name currently being staged in NYC by Endtimes Productions (www.endtimesproductions.com) as part of their Atomic Café series. Getting Mick Foley involved in the film adds a whole new dimension to the story. I’ve followed Mick’s career for many years and I’m 100% sure that he’ll knock it out of the park. There’s this amazing comedic side to Mick and one of our main goals is to highlight that.”
