Listen up maggots. Today at DVD Resurrections we got a chance to engage an interview with HORROR
PORN LEGEND Rob Rotten. Rob's latest film is one of the most sickest ,horror, porno on the face of this
fucked up decaying planet , this movie is called "Porn Of The Dead" and it has finally been released on DVD
over the internet at Punx Productions. Porn Of The Dead is a gore hound, zombie & porn fan's sickest
dream cum true.
Rob Rotten we are honoured to finally chat with the man who just released the ultimate, sickest,
horror porno on the net "Porn Of The Dead". So can you tell us a little bit about yourself for those who
don't know who you really are and what is it that you do man?
Well thanks for hooking up this interview man, that rules. Well I have been in porn for over 6 years now, both
on the performing and directing side of the biz. I have had numerous nominations for performing and directing,
so the biz has treated me great. I live in San Francisco, Ca and shoot most of my movies in LA. Umm yea...
On your myspace site it says you're only 24yrs old, what age did you start in the adult entertainment
industry and is it true you started off as a performer?
Yeah I am 24, 25 at the end of August. I fell into the biz only 4 days after my 18th birthday. Total luck... Yeah, I
started out as a performer shooting my first movie when i was 19 with Jim Powers. The movie was called Little
Runaway and won a bunch of awards and was nominated numerous times by AVN. I have performed in well
over 400 movies so far, but now I mainly just perform in my own Punx Productions movies.

What or who influenced you the most to become a film maker?
Well I have been trying to make movies ever since I was just a little kid. In fact the way i got into the biz was that I was filming a friends band in LA and
there was another guy filming a band there too. We started talking and he told me that he filmed porn. Totally joking around, I was like dude put me in a
movie... And well he did, actually 5 and I have been doing it ever since... The funny thing is that the guy who got me in the biz was Jim Powers, the same
guy I co directed Little Runaway and the same guy who shoots camera for me to this day... I would have to say Russ Myer is really a huge influence on
me."
Are you also involved in any other artistic pursuits right now?
I have been in many shitty little bands, but I never have enough time to put into them... These movies really take up all of my time."
Can you tells us a little bit about your company Punx Productions?
Yeah totally. Punx Productions is my company and we work as sub contractors to a lot of larger companies. We do everything in house and are able to
give the company's a finished product. Everything from writing to box covers... All of my movies are done through Punx Productions. Its really cool
because this allows me to have most of the creative control of the movies. The Punx Productions website, www.PunxProductions.com, is really cool, its
all free and lets people check out everything from the chicks that i have shot to the production stills from all of my movies.
What made you to make a movie that is a combination of horror and porn, and are you a fan of horror at all?
I have always liked horror, gore, and zombie movies and I really wanted to mix the 2 worlds together, making a porn with zombies, great gore, and crazy
sex... Well finally I wrote Porn of the Dead and pitched it to Metro. To my surprise they loved it and I began shooting Porn of the Dead that next month.
What horror films inspired you to do Porn of The Dead?
There was a lot of them and I sure that any one who likes horror, gore, and zombie movies will be able to pick them out as they watch the scenes in Porn
of the Dead.
What are your thoughts on the 70's roughies like Forced Entry and Hardgore?
I think its really sad that the porn biz has gone so down hill since the 70's. Porn in general is really just a bunch of shitty films with sex... I am really
trying to make great movies and amazing sex hoping to rebound the biz a little, I dunno...
How long roughly did it take you to make Porn Of The Dead?
Porn of the Dead was shot in only 2 days. Post production took about three weeks and then was dragged onto about a year to do re-edits.
Did you find it hard casting for these particular roles as apart from the before mentioned roughies, Horror porn is generally a new genre?
Yeah, it was kinda tough, a lot of adult performers are really not into being covered in blood or spending hours getting the SFX make-up on. Luckily I was
able to pull together a top notch group of amazing performers who did spend hours in make-up and were covered in blood.
Your production company is called Punx Productions, did you utilize any actual old school punk rock in Fuck The System and why go for
Death Metal in Porn of the Dead or does the Punx Productions cover your work ethos?
Yeah Punx Productions does a lot of music tie ins in our movies. Starting back with Little Runaway, DI, The US Bombs, The Stitches, The Lower Class
Brats, and The Sick were on the sound track and some of them played live in the movie. Fuck the System was packed with music and the DVD is even
packaged with a free CD sampler featuring one song from each of the 12 bands on the soundtrack including Rancid. Porn of the Dead needed death metal.
I am a huge death metal fan and knew which bands i wanted right away. I contacted the bands and the labels and was able to pull together the most
amazing ,all death metal soundtrack ever. Featuring Deicide, Blood Red Throne, Decapitated, Exmortem, and Impailed... Truely fucking amazing... Once
you see Porn of the Dead you will understand why I went with an all death metal soundtrack.
What are your thoughts on the current state of the mainstream porn industry?
Its really the shits... There are very few people actually doing cool stuff... This new alt porn thing is so fucking gay. I have always hated the way porn is
such an assembly line making the same shit over and over again. Now alt porn is nothing more than a new assembly line... It sucks because some of it
could have been cool, but its to commercialized now, its really just a bunch of crap... Thats why Punx Productions and I have been trying hard to mix
things up a lot, but still giving our loyal viewers high quality movies.
Do you see your film maybe starting a new genre of horror porn?
Yes. The weird thing about porn is that it cannibalizes itself. Its seems like every time someone comes up with a fresh new idea and the movie does
great. These people quickly try to make cheap knock-offs hoping to leach off some of the sales. Its really gay. lol .
Have you received any shit for your combination of Sex and Violence from anyone or other production company's?
Yes, I had a hell of a time with Metro trying to get Porn of the Dead into stores. I took almost a year of meetings and re-edits, but in the end i was very
happy with the final cut.
Did you set out to be a porn director or purely use porn to raise money for bigger ventures?
No way, I love porn. I am not trying to get out or move onto anything else. I am trying to make changes in the biz to make it better. I have turned down
offers to direct small independent horror films, but really like where i am at in this biz. I would take a mainstream gig, if it was the right one, but i would
never turn my back on porn.
Are you a fan of people like Max Hardcore and Rob Black, if so what are your thoughts on them & there films?
Nope, they are cool guys, but I am not interested in what they doing.
Did you have any problems on or off set, if so what happened?
In regards to what? Fans? People that hate me? I have gotten quite a few death threats mailed to me, but they are all a bunch of bull shit.
Rob are you happy with the final outcome of your film?
Yes, I am always happy with the out come of all of my movies. I put a lot of time into them and make them the best that I can.
If there was anything you'd like to change to your films, what would you like to do & why?
Well just like most directors, I would have liked to have less censorship, but none the less , I am happy with Porn of the Dead.
Will we see a Porn of the Dead 2 in the near future, or anything else to do with Horror?
Oh yeah I cannot wait to shoot the second one, but it wont be for a while.
Is there anything you'd like to say to the people reading this interview?
Yeah totally, I would like to thank all of my fans and the fans of the Punx Production's movies, for all of their loyal support and for all of the hype that they
have created for my movies. Nothing would really be possible without them and I know that they will continue to be very stoked with all of Punx
Productions new movies. And for the people out there who haven't checked out www.PunxProductions.com, you should give it a look.
Thanks so much for your time Rob. It was a honour for Sexecutioner & I to do a interview with you brother. "Porn Of The Dead" is a fucking
awesome movie and thanks for having the balls to create such a sick, zombie, porn film man, and we at DVD Resurrections wish you the best of
luck with your film and also any future work you do. If you ever need someone cover the ladies in blood in any of your future films, or a stunt cock i
am the man for the job. Though you might need a wide screen lens to fit my schlong in the shot. Keep the porn and gore flowing bro cause now
since we had a taste of "Porn Of The Dead" we now hunger for more, a lot more. Thanks for pushing the boundaries of cinema man.
