The series highlighted all of the ghoulish things that go on in Binghamton NY and the surrounding area. Highlighting, events, haunts and the people behind them. Topping it off with a "Special Halloween Special! He also covered All things horror including artists, musicians, film makers and writers that have a flare for the dark side.
He fronted the Gothic horror metal band "Others" and he also used to play in the Death Rock band "Lugosi's Morphine" out of Scranton PA. Mark was a founding member of Binghamton punk legends, Abalienation. He has released over 50 albums. Mark writes horror novelettes, dark poetry and has published several books including, the collections, "Revenants in the Manor", The Bloodstained Ossuary", "A Tragedy Unfolds.

Mark enjoys history, reading, writing music, watching Sherlock Holmes, Expedition Unknown, and Murder Mysteries. He loves classic horror movies and things that go bump in the night. He also stared in the local films "Demon Messenger" (2013) and "House on Ghost Hill Road" from I Am Horror Productions.
I am a huge fan of silent and classic horror films. Something about the music, the shadows, reactions and bits of humor that made them fun. I remember as a kid my parents would drop my brother and I off at the theater and we would be there all day! We would have a blast! Watching serials, cartoons and horror movies. And it was what we didn't see that made our imagination go off. Something I feel is lost in a lot of modern horror.
With these series of short films, we wanted to do some original programming for our Halloween specials instead of showing highlights of events that already happened.
In this sequel to "Into The Arms of Death", I wanted to stay true to the silent film standards but add a "Hammer" pace and feel to it.
These are not meant to be taken seriously. They're just meant to be fun. So sit back, grab some popcorn, let your imagination take you back to another place and time and enjoy!
