Sean Abley spent the better part of the ’90s in Chicago writing, directing and producing theater for his company, The Factory Theater. Some of his long-running productions included BITCHES, SANTA CLAUS CONQUERS THE MARTIANS: THE MUSICAL, REEFER MADNESS, ATTACK OF THE KILLER B’S, CORPSE GRINDERS (adapted from the Ted V. Mikels film) and NUCLEAR FAMILY. He also wrote for the cult hit YOU DON’T KNOW JACK CD-rom game series. Abley then moved to LA where he spent time creating more reality TV than he’d care to admit.
Thankfully, children’s television rescued Abley with writing gigs on SO WEIRD (Disney Channel), SABRINA: THE ANIMATED SERIES (ABC), MEGA BABIES and DIGIMON (Fox Family). He also penned a bunch of pilots for Klasky-Csupo, including the animated BENCH PRESSLY: THE WORLD'S STRONGEST PRIVATE DICK (hosted by Ahmet Zappa and starring Bruce Campbell and Tim Curry). He moved into film with ROPE BURN, which he wrote for Moving in Pictures. His latest feature, SOCKET, is out on DVD from TLA Releasing.
In addition, Abley produced GAY BED AND BREAKFAST OF TERROR and PORNOGRAPHY: A THRILLER. His next feature will be WILDCAT ROAD, which he has written and will direct for Velvet Candy Entertainment and Dark Blue Films. Principal photography begins in March, 2009.

As I drove up the winding mountain road to Big Bear, CA in the pitch-black night, I wondered, “What’s gay about the Big Bear Horror Film Festival?” Answer: just about everything.
Previously on “Gay of the Dead”: Francois Sagat has changed, the lights and camera are perfect; Bruce LaBruce calls everyone back to set, and it suddenly sinks in—I’m about to watch a hardcore sex scene being filmed… 
Back in March I interviewed notorious filmmaker Bruce LaBruce about his most recent gay gore and full sex flick, OTTO; OR, UP WITH DEAD PEOPLE. I asked him about the “zombie porn” that he mentioned on the DVD commentary.
