American filmmaker, journalist and author. Most of his film work is based in the horror genre. Made his feature-length film debut with 1995's MARK OF THE DEVIL 666: THE MORALIST, released by Moore Video. He made two more films for Moore, the cult classic 5 DARK SOULS (1996) and 5 DARK SOULS, PART II: ROOTS OF EVIL (1998) before moving to Los Angeles, CA. He began working for David DeCoteau's Rapid Heart Pictures on films like VOODOO ACADEMY (1999), ANCIENT EVIL (2000), THE BROTHERHOOD (2000), THE BROTHERHOOD II: YOUNG WARLOCKS (2001), FINAL STAB (2001) and THE FRIGHTENING (2002). He also worked on commercials for SEGA, OFF! Bug Spray, and the horror flicks HELL ASYLUM (2002), MEGA SCORPIONS (2003) and the BAD MOVIE POLICE comedy series (3-episodes). Based on the success of his 2000 short film JULIA WEPT, Collum found backing for his next directorial feature, SOMETHING TO SCREAM ABOUT. The release of the documentary - about the working lives of actresses in the b-movie industry - drew the largest signing event at the Virgin MegaStore on Sunset Boulevard in 2004. It aired on Showtime from 2004-2007. This success led to the funding for Collum's OCTOBER MOON (2005), one of the first gay-themed horror films. It's 2008 sequel, OCTOBER MOON 2: NOVEMBER SON, created the first gay horror film franchise in history. He went to direct SLEEPLESS NIGHTS: REVISITING THE SLUMBER PARTY MASSACRES (2010) for Roger Corman's slasher franchsie through Shout!Factory, then the comedy SHY OF NORMAL (2011). Perhaps his greatest financial and critical success was SCREAMING IN HIGH HEELS: THE RISE ...more
