The Jimmy Star Show is radio’s newest hit show, featuring the coolest in music, entertainment, fashion and pop culture, all from a fun industry insider perspective in a completely live, unedited fast-paced two-hour conversational format.

Tim Sullivan

Tim Sullivan is an American writer, director and producer known for a wide variety of modern horror films, including most recently Chillerama (2011), the cult favorite 2001 Maniacs (2005) and its popular follow-up, Field of Screams (2010). Tim Sullivan began his career as a New Jersey teenager pumping fake blood for 80’s splatter classic The Deadly Spawn (1983). Sullivan moved to Los Angeles where he worked in development at New Line Cinema, co-producing Detroit Rock City (1999).

With a directing style ranging from the ‘splatstick’ nature of the Maniacs franchise to the serious bent of teen thriller Driftwood (2007), Sullivan gained additional notoriety as celebrity director of Vh1′s hit series Scream Queens (2010) as well as creator and host of Shock N Roll, his weekly talk and video blog on leading web network Fearnet.com. Recently re-joining forces with Detroit Rock City director Adam Rifkin for the comedy/horror anthology Chillerama, Sullivan contributed the musical segment I Was a Teenage Werebear, embracing his passion for camp and rock and roll.

An homage to the drive-in movies of the 50’s and 60’s, Chillerama is a comedy-horror anthology comprised of four vignettes from some of contemporary horror’s biggest filmmakers. A funny, subversive spoof of the Eisenhower/ Kennedy-era beach movies, Sullivan’s I Was A Teenage Werebear follows a day in the life of closeted new kid “Ricky O’Reilly” (played by Sean Paul Lockhart, aka adult film superstar Brent Corrigan) who falls for Malibu High’s mysterious bad boy “Talon” (Anton Troy). When aroused, the two transform into bestial leather daddies, the titular werebears.

The film features five rock ‘n roll musical numbers that spin the frothy boy/girl/beach format into a humorously bloody, albeit well-intentioned, call for acceptance and tolerance, and its popularity has lead to the official release of the original soundtrack on BuySoundtrax Records. Chillerama: I Was A Teenage Werebear – The Original Soundtrack features 12 songs and score performed by PsychoCharger, Briana Nadeau, Bobby Vinton, Robert Vinton, and cast members Sean Paul Lockhart, Gabby West and Anton Troy. The album will be available both as a special limited edition CD and as a digital download on February 14, 2012.

“One of the pleasures making I Was A Teenage Werebear,” described Sullivan, “was the independence it allowed me to simply be me. And that meant coming out of the closet as an admitted fan of movie musicals as well as movie monsters. So taking a page from Rocky Horror and Hairspray, I channeled my inner American Graffiti and Grease and dashed out some ditties I hoped combined camp and cool.” Fans have revelled in the project, and due to more demand a full-length musical stage version is set to debut in Los Angeles in September of 2012, with stars Sean Paul Lockhart and Anton Troy set to reprise their roles.
