Antichrist Nun IS BACK!

That’s right. She is fucking back with a vengeance, and got a much needed makeover. Do you all remember the infamous sheep stomach and tampon birth scene forever ago? Guess what?

SHE IS GOING TO BE IN 6 SONGS BABY!

6 Songs Teaser

Woooooo yall, this is a challenge and a half. I’m fitting at least four/five characters into this film, along with me filming myself. We also have the return of what makes me the Lady of Decay, and that’s the nasty bits, worms, maggots. There’s going to be lots of this, done in an ever-so-delicate fashion.

6 Songs Teasers

Look, mom, I’m smoking! But seriously, smoking is icky—for me, anyways!

This is the third production this year for me and Domiziano. 6 Songs will be an amalgamation of me, Pete Lankston, Irene Buffetti, and Slade Wilson. We all are doing our own directing, SFX and editing. 6 Songs is about how music influences the soul. For my segment, I will be portraying a struggling author who finds music as inspiration. With her failing works and depression, she wishes that her work would come ...

Gelatin

Ugh, I definitely need more work on this. So, trash these. I’m posting them here because I still wanted to document the outcome.

This was my first time playing with gelatin, and I fucked it all up. First, I made the horrible mistake of adding liquid foundation which created little bubbles of tan. Don’t do what I did.

Second, I definitely got impatient and didn’t wait for my gelatin to cool, resulting in everything sort of bunching up. Yeah, it looks cool, but it just ended...

“Eyeball Tutorial”

Phew, aight. I originally wanted to do a voiceover for this, but I kinda forgot.

What you’ll need is:

  • Red yarn
  • Plastic beads
  • Clear nail polish
  • Hi-res iris (printed)
  • Monster slime
  • Fake blood
  • Alcohol activated palette
  • And lots of patience

I won’t lie, I’m a perfectionist; this took me well over two hours. Some reminders:

  • Water temp MUST BE at temperature, otherwise your beads will not melt. I...

New Year; New Blood

It’s the gift that keeps on giving. Blood doesn’t stop flowing out of this monster snatch. Nope, in fact, this year he expecting more gore, blood, uterus and more shit, piss, and other things that get the ol’ stomach-a-churnin.

BTS “VB”

I think it’s safe to assume this is probably the most anticipated film (for me) of the year. Working with Digital Thunderdome (again), is always the best goddamn experience of my life. This time, we took a four-hour ride south to Rome, Georgia. I’d never been here before—so this within itself was a mini-vacation of sorts. The set was incredible; it was nestled on a river tributary. The old mill we shot in was a converted wedding venue. The area where we did makeup was where the brides g...

“Mommy Why?” Tutorial

Lil behind on uploading!

With the holiday season upon us, I’ve been consumed by Publix. This tutorial was from the last set of photos I did, and it features a very MESSED UP prosthetic application. I bought the “Out of Kit” brow blockers for Paul Ledney’s makeup a couple weeks ago. Here are some things to note:

  • If you have dark eyebrows like me—I’d highly recommend blocking them prior to application. I did not anticipate my eyebrows showing through underneath, s...

The Profanatica Experience (Working with Paul Ledney)

Another trip in the books.





What’s it like working with a black metal legend such as Paul Ledney? It’s just like any other endeavor, I suppose.

Mehron Scar Wax Refresher

Omg, THIS CAME OUT FANTASTIC!

This was find entirely in Mehron scared and eyeshadow. I don’t have a brush machine, so I use shadows. My honest opinion? It comes out just as good if not more realistic!

Enjoy!!!!

Scar Wax FAIL (It was a cool look, but MEH!)

Okay, so I fucked up on this look and I AM SO MAD OVER IT!

First things first, welcome new subs! Welcome to definitely some random stuff, but I APPRECIATE YOU ALL SO FUCKING MUCH!

Second, let’s just say this is what not to do! In my defense, I thought I had plans and ended up rushing the fuck out of this tutorial. I did not have the product I needed and ended up using LUSH dry shampoo as a setting powder. Did it work? Surprisingly, yes, really well, actually, but the point is ...

Peeling Off “Petri Dish Failure” (Music by: Gorgatron)

I hope everyone has been well. When I tell you it’s been busy-it’s been busy.

So, let’s update everyone and welcome the new ones! If you’re new here—welcome! Thank you for supporting me, my work, and my overall weirdness!

The official word on “All Wounds Scream at Once” is this:

We are investing over 50k which means that the film is slated for principal photography 6-10 months from now. Marcus Koch is now our lead SFX, which, if you’re not familiar with Ma...

Halloween Makeup Tutorial (Glam)

This is something completely different from SFX, but I’ve gotten some requests from the ladies on a makeup tutorial.

Please note: there is no right or wrong way to do your makeup. BLENDING IS KEY. I cannot stress that enough.

“Petri Dish Failure”Unedited Stills

In conjunction with my previous post, I was really elated at how well this turned out. Rough your hair up for extra texture and realism. I also forgot to add to my previous post: Fold your hair over on top of the latex. At that point, it should be dry for you to do this. DO NOT FOLD YOUR HAIR OVER UNTIL IT DRIES. Trust me, you’ll be so angry and may have to cut chunks of hair out of your head otherwise.

I used the coagulated blood to sort of stick it down to my hair, but a Bobby pin ...

“Petri Dish Failure” Quick Tutorial

This was completely spur of the moment. It felt good to get back to doing simple makeup looks and doing tutorials again.

This one was created on a budget. Admittedly, I’m so low on supplies that I said “fuck it” and DIYed it. All of this was done with simple tools:

Liquid latex

Skin Illustrator paint

Cotton balls


Hair gel

And some coagulated Mehron blood

Note: you MUST apply some sort of Vaseline to the hair in order for the liquid l...

Dark Web Screen Caps

I have a lot of anxiety about this.

I don’t know what, but I’ve really been afraid of fucking this up entirely. I think out of all the segments that will be in this film, mine will be the most bizarre. Bizarre because it won’t be as gory—even though I am masturbating with scissors and my own blood—but because it’ll just be a mindfuck.

The ending I have will either be loved or hated. I do hope it’s well-perceived. Albeit it won’t be a traditional segment, it’ll ...

She Eats Blood

Yes, she does, and I do.

Self-proclaimed cannibalism. Would I eat another human? Absolutely.

After all, the Lady of Decay delights in fresh, warm blood.

“All Wounds Scream at Once” Script Teaser

I hope everyone is having a rocking October so far!

Man, we made it another year around the globe and here we are! Well, here at Casa Mejia, things are definitely busy. My director, David, dropped me the unofficial script last night, and boy oh boy…this shit is ROUGH.

Honestly, it’s going to feature a lot of vulnerability which I’m used to, but I’m not…The masturbation sequence alone will be a challenge. How the hell do you recreate masturbation without truly recreatin...

“All Wounds Scream at Once” Trailer Clips

The trailer is currently in assemblage. These are some screen caps that I caught, but edited into this very desolate blue.

One of the things I’ve been focusing on the past few months are facial expressions. Honestly, I’ve really enjoyed the aspects of emotion conveyed in the photos. It’s funny how styles change back and forth through years. Maybe it’s because acting has forced me into being note thoughtful of the reality of emotion, maybe not. Regardless, I’ve sort of taken t...

Trailer Screen Caps

Okay, I’ve been busy with this film—busier than I intended.

First, vagina mutilation. There is going to be full on vagina mutilation. I’m wondering myself how this will be able to be broadcast considering it involves…well, exactly what it is. It’s not everyday you shove a pair of scissors up your vagina, but hey…art.

There’s also some things I REALLY can’t believe I did, but I’m leaving that out intentionally for shock purposes. We should have the trailer coming...

All Wounds Scream at Once Trailer (Rough Cut)

Morning, y’all! So, this IS NOT the final version. This is a rough cut our VFX editor has concocted. This Tuesday and Wednesday, I’ll be compiling clips and some pretty nasty scenes for the trailer. Somehow, and I don’t know how, Torsofuck has really been interested in this film.

Their song will be the featured track on the trailer, which means it’ll be the first horror film to boast a goregrind/death metal band..and Finnish nonetheless.

All Wounds Scream at Once

Okay, it’s been a hot minute since I’ve been here. Why? Because what started out as me off for the rest of the year, turned out to be me working on three productions.

Now, obviously, you all will automatically be credited on this film for being my peeps. The indiegogo is finally live, and guys, between the hype and the utter jealousy surrounding this…holy shit. Yes, you heard right; it seems old friends of mine are very jealous that I’m doing this project.

It matters not...

I Love Blood, That’s My Fucking Problem

There is nothing more fulfilling than dousing my face in thawed out blood. I realize I’ve been more in a grind house/extreme mood, but I will return to sheer scaring the shit outta people.

For now, I’m enjoying pushing my own body to the limits. I think it goes without saying—please do not try this at home, y’all. It is extremely dangerous, and I’d rather me fuck myself up than any of you.

For Dark Web: XXX I can honestly say I will be going insane. I’m going to try ...

The Book of Lamentations

This one is definitely a darker entry into the Old Testament. Daniel gave me the greenlight to make this one a little more…Cory.

I’ve discovered that my directing style is definitely at-random. If I see something I like, I shoot it. There was a bitchin thunderstorm rolling in two days ago, and I grabbed my camera and started rolling. The leper sequences were shot in my closet.

This is why I keep telling you guys: You don’t need a studio to make a film; utilize shadow, plane...
