"Sexcellent!"

Mike Lombardo isn't just the founder and sole proprietor of Reel Splatter --- He IS Reel Splatter! With a bloody-looking tattoo of our mascot on his upper arm to prove his devotion to this indie movie troupe, Mike lives, eats, breathes, sleeps, defecates, ejaculates and vomits low-budget horror and gore F/X. During his formative years, he spent many hours watching obscure B-movies on VHS tapes rented from Blockbuster Video and/or copied from neighborhood kids. Eventually, he adopted the nickname "Dr. Chud" as an homage to the 1984 film C.H.U.D., contrary to the similar name of the drummer from The Misfits. Mike wishes every day could be Halloween night.

His interests include B-movies, anything intended to be both scary & cheesy, horror books, gore make-up effects, halloween costumes, fake blood, real blood, cheap Italian food, zombies, H.P. Lovecraft, liquid latex, getting head, chicken sandwiches, rubber toy insects, Amanda Palmer, obscure cancelled TV shows, Swamp Thing, graphic novels, and green slime.

"Hey kids! Don't be messin' with my stuff."

Julius met up with the Splatter boys in late 2004, and from that day forward he forever changed its course of history --- By usage of his amazing multimedia talents. To name a few of his specialties, he created the Reel Splatter websites, stickers, t-shirt designs, movie graphics (credits, titles), script revisions, MySpace & Facebook pages, artistic props (i.e. illustrations) and many other wonderful things that have made us who we are today! Julius has done some acting work with the boys before he moved to New York City. With a fast-paced speech and a bit of a southern drawl, he successfully plays eccentric character types. He's Elvis Presley meets Abraham Lincoln meets Beetlejuice meets Bob Saget! Oh, and check out his totally boss demo reel!

His interests include: Tex-Mex food, cats, pinball machines, heavy metal, Atari 2600 games, girls with glasses & short hair, porno, airplanes, world history, station wagons, old war films, glow-in-the-dark stuff, owls, and LEGO bricks.

"I did this instead of sleeping!"

Milano is simply an innocent looking rosy-cheeked fair haired child that has been a Splatter boy since the beginning! With a deep, eloquent voice as well as a gentle, non-threatening appearance, Milano has a remarkable range of character traits. In addition to his acting abilities, he has kindly lent his car for use of transportation to and from various filming locations. Milano remains a close friend of the Splatter crew members alike. When he's not toiling away stocking shelves at your local Home Depot, he makes use of his free time by being a big brother figure to us. He is the voice of reason indeed.

His interests include Penn & Teller: Bullshit!, chicks with big boobs, Libertarianism, heavy metal, XBox 360, dinosaurs, Ayn Rand novels, skepticism, atheism, Reason Magazine, comic books, large sandwiches, hand lotion, paychecks with direct deposit, The Transformers, and classic Simpsons re-runs.

"Shoooot her!! "

Please note: Jason is the gentleman on the left, not the 50-year old babe known as Caroline Williams (a.k.a. "Stretch" from Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2). This lovable, goofy, big-toothed nobleman has earned his reputation as being the prime transportation manager for the Splatter boys when valid methods of bringing supplies to movie shoots was limited -- In other words, Mike and Julius were too lazy to get drivers' licenses, and Jason here ended up playing taxi cab! Nonetheless, The Count (as per the name on his custom Splatter hoodie says) will always remain a backbone to our troupe, as his irreverent behavior touches us all in many ways! Whatever you do, don't cross his path, lest you want to have your bedroom window invaded by a 1,000,000 candlepower spotlight!

His interests include nothing. Well, sometimes he eats ice cream. Oh wait, he has a weird obsession with the movie Jurassic Park. I mean, come on, who doesn't!? Clever girl...

"No, I won't fix your computer."

Oh Yanni, how could we forget you? Don't let his display picture fool you: He's not really a sexual predator (well, sort of). This man here has been the chief computer guru behind Reel Splatter, and up until Julius came along on the scene, the yellow-haired delightful little skamp was the creator the original Splatter website. In early days and even in some recent instances, Mike Yanni has served as a technical editor for video footage and audio tracks, by using his beefed-up Frankenstein computers and vast library of unlimited access to any kind of software. Yanni currently has a degree in computer science, and is thus making use of his skills in both the real world and the Reel world (haha, get it? I'm funny). Oh, did I mention he's Mr. Lombardo's roommate in East Petersburg? How convenient.

His interests include online gaming, anime, manga, hentai, repetitive techno songs, drinking heavily, message boards, expensive computer equipment, sugar-filled energy drinks, and bittorents with fast internet connections.

"If you bought our new CD then you got ripped off!"

This foul motherfucker eats broken glass and washes it down with gasoline! He has been known to eat peoples' heads if they're wearing a steak on it. Skot is the musical drive behind many of our recent works, as his broad range of talent has come in quite handy when we need a wanking guitar riff or two. Skot has been close friends with Julius since the two were in 5th grade, and within recent years, his entry to the realm of Reel Splatter has been a major advancement in terms of new ideas and resources. A pale-skinned, tattooed, mutton-chopped singing hyena; this rocking maniac can rock it 'til the break of dawn!

His interests include playing musical instruments (guitar, drums, keyboard, banjo), singing, impersonating Jim Morrison, recording music, eating steak, Freddy Krueger, going to zoos, The Ren & Stimpy Show, classic Hanna-Barbera cartoons, nachos, and public restrooms.
