Jerry Horror dives headfirst into the deep end of indie horror chaos with writer, producer, and first-time feature filmmaker Newt Wallen, the mind behind Amityville Pool Toy Massacre and founder of Schlock and Awe Films. Love him or hate him, Newt has carved out a lane in the schlock-horror world where rubber monsters, killer concepts, and DIY filmmaking collide in gloriously unhinged fashion.

From co-directing Bigfoot Exorcist to writing Shark Exorcist 2: Unholy Waters and penning blood-soaked comedy in Cult of Blood, Newt has built a filmography that lives somewhere between late-night cable and internet cult legend. He’s acted, shot, produced, and hustled his way through projects like Swamp Zombies 2, Debbie Does Demons, and Bongo: Killer Clown, proving that in indie horror, you either wear every hat or get buried under them.

In this candid and wildly entertaining conversation, Jerry and Newt go beyond the filmography and into the mindset. They talk about the influence of Ed Wood, the unexpected DNA shared with The Muppets, and the kind of bizarre, formative experiences that shape a horror filmmaker, including the universal rite of passage of stumbling upon something you definitely were not supposed to find in the woods. Porno Mags.

They also dig into the grind of low-budget filmmaking, the controversies surrounding Newt’s work, and his collaborations with exploitation filmmaker Donald Farmer, offering insight into the wild west spirit of truly independent cinema.

This one is raw, weird, and unapologetically scrappy. Just the way The Offering likes it.
