An Author Who Writes and Acts

Writer/actor David L. Tamarin does it all from writing columns, articles, and screenplays to acting in movies and television shows.

Tamarin writes the column “Ugly World” for the Severed Cinema website (www.severed-cinema.com/uglyworld). The new column should be up by the end of April or the beginning of May.

He has an article, “Interesting Paraphilias” in the new issue of Girls and Corpses. The magazine now sells a card for your wallet that says, “if I die, cannibals and necrophiliacs can have my body.” He developed the idea and sold it to the magazine. The cards can be purchased at www.girlsandcorpses.com.

He writes film reviews for www.horrornews.net. His current reviews are of The Manson Family and Seven Days.

He co-wrote the screenplay for Countess Bathoria’s Graveyard Picture Show, which debuted at the Festival of Fear in Quebec. Since it was decided to add more to the film, there is a new scene that he wrote and acted in. In the scene, he is tortured and killed by a doll, which was filmed in Canada a few months ago. The film is in advanced post-production status and will be available on DVD in the future.

He can be seen in the film, Beg, portraying a drunken frat guy dressed like a scarecrow. There is no release date yet. It stars Tony Todd and other genre legends.

Along with movies, he can be seen eating cake in the premiere episode of ABC’s Body of Proof, which aired in March. He has acted in another film, Legless, which premiered last month. He also acted in the video, Legless, which is the movie’s theme song by Sorrowseed.

Author Transformed by Haunted House

  
House of Darkness House of Light: Volume One by Andrea Perron was released on March 11. Perron said, it has been very well received, which has delighted her family. The book tells the true story of a haunting that occurs to this day in an old farmhouse in Harrisville, R.I. Perron is the eldest daughter of Roger and Carolyn Perron. She has lived this saga and has watched the way in which her entire family of seven has been transformed over the course of a decade dwelling in such a spiritual setting. The book is the unabridged chronicling of supernatural episodes her family has endured between 1970 and 1980, Perron said. Though the family waited thirty years to reveal these closely-guarded secrets, ultimately there was no escaping these events.


 
According to Perron, Paranormal Investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren researched and concluded that what resides within those ancient walls cannot or will not be dispelled. The current residents would certainly attest to their conclusion as fact. This story is multi-faceted. It explores the many elements of the numerous and varied encounters, which occurred at the time our family was confronted by the spirits in our home. It draws only one conclusion: there is something there beyond mortal existence.
 
Many people have speculated about this significant and compelling story over the years, Perron said. People have only known fragments of it, which was often based on rumor and innuendo. This book reveals what really happened, Perron said. “To this day none of us know why … us.”

Perron’s book is available through Amazon: http://amzn.to/i0u46z.

She welcomes interaction with anyone interested in discussing these remarkable events. No question is too provocative, though there are no definitive answers in this realm. Her email is houseofdarknesshouseoflight@gmail.com.
