A Journey of Monsters and Identity

Originally debuting as a live stage performance in 2019, I AM MONSTERS! is a confessional exploration of Vince’s life as both an actor and an outsider. The show reflects on his childhood love of monsters, the painful challenges of growing up gay under Thatcher’s Britain, and his rise to fame through his unforgettable performances in Barker's horror classics.

The film adaptation had its world premiere at FrightFest 2023, receiving critical acclaim for its raw storytelling and its ability to blend nostalgia with hard-hitting personal truths. Vince speaks openly about bullying, a life-threatening reconstructive surgery, and the pressures of concealing his sexuality in a repressive era. His reflections reveal how these experiences informed his portrayal of cinematic monsters, from the iconic Chatterer Cenobite to other roles in horror films, comics, and short stories.

“I’m overjoyed to finally share I AM MONSTERS! on Blu-ray,” Vince commented. “The journey from stage to screen has allowed me to delve deeper into my own history, and I hope fans will enjoy this exploration of what it takes to become a monster both on and off screen.”

With a history of producing fan-favorite indie horrors such as Book of Monsters and How to Kill Monsters, Dark Rift continues to push boundaries in the genre.

Tim Curran is an American author of horror fiction. His works include the novels Skin Medicine, Hive, Dead Sea, Resurrection, Skull Moon, The Devil Next Door, and Biohazard. His most recent books have been The Spawning, the short story collections Bone Marrow Stew and Zombie Pulp, and the novellas "1867: The Skulleater Campaign", "The Corpse King", and "Fear Me" When did you first become interested in writing? Oh, probably when I was 12 or 13. Up until that point my exposure to horror fiction came in the form of movies, TV, and horror comics. It was then I started ordering horror books from the back pages of Creepy and Eerie magazine.

I fell in love with horror fiction then. Before that I read a lot of science fiction, particularly H.G. Wells, Robert Heinlein, Issac Asimo...

Q:  You get to be something that most actors don't get to be.  You're a bomb of a character.  How would you fit in?  How will you upset the universe? A: I come in there because I am a housewife and I beat up two men in a bar.  I claim to be Anne Frank, which millions and millions of schoolchildren have read the book, we all assume is dead but do we really know.  I seem to have proof that what I say is true.  So at first nobody believes me but the more proof I bring the more people are investigating if what I say is true.  Not only that, there's somebody in there who works in this time that I seem to recognize from Auschwitz concentration camp.  So I'm pointing fingers at people too. Q: How will this affect the characters running the asylum? A: You definitely will but that is already set in motion isn't it?  Like you know, there's not going to be the moment where you're like oh my God, I thought this person was good.  I don't know if...
