BUYSOUNDTRACK RECORDS TO RELEASE
CHILLERAMA: I WAS A TEENAGE WEREBEAR SOUNDTRACK
Featuring Original Songs By PsychoCharger, Briana Nadeau, Bobby Vinton
and Robert Vinton, With Score by Patrick Copeland
(Los Angeles, CA –January 31, 2012) The perfect Valentine’s Day gift
for the werebear you love, BuySoundtrax Records will release Tim
Sullivan’s Chillerama: I Was A Teenage Werebear – The Original
Soundtrack featuring 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.
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, among them I Was A Teenage
Werebear from writer/director Tim Sullivan (2001 Maniacs, Driftwood).
A funny, subversive spoof of the Eisenhower/ Kennedy-era beach movies,
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, along with five other songs written specifically for
the soundtrack that spin the frothy boy/girl/beach format into a
humorously bloody, albeit well-intentioned, call for acceptance and
tolerance.
“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.”
In addition to the songs performed in the film by Lockhart, Troy and
company, Sullivan tapped a variety of artists, including pop diva
Briana Nadeau, whose “I’m Gonna Make Him Mine” and “Undercover Lover”
are a perfect blend of Duffy meets Dusty Springfield.
Two other songs featured in the film are courtesy of the Vintons,
Bobby and son Rob. “Truth be told,” continued Sullivan, “before I
became obsessed with KISS at age 13, I was quite infatuated with Bobby
Vinton, our family being Polish and my grandma playing his albums over
and over. Never in a million years would I have dreamed that Mr.
Lonely himself would be crooning a tune in one of my films.” Robert
Vinton appears both on the soundtrack and in the film, performing
“Sexy Ways”.
Rounding out the soundtrack are Patrick Copeland’s score in suite form
and a nice little bonus from shockabilly rockers Psycho Charger, who
conjured up the hard rocking title track, “Chillerama”. A music video
for “Chillerama”, starring the band and featuring clips from the film,
was directed by Sullivan and will be released to coincide with the
soundtrack.
Following the four month film festival tour of Chillerama, the 30
minute 'hairy and uncut" version of I Was A Teenage Werebear left fans
growling for more. As a result, Sullivan and his Chillerama co-creator
and fellow director Adam Rifkin will be bringing a full-length musical
stage version to LA in September of 2012, with stars Sean Paul
Lockhart and Anton Troy set to reprise their roles.
“I guess the moral of the story is- when you stay true, good things
happen,” said Sullivan. “We all stayed true to our vision and theme,
and the result is this fun little soundtrack of which we all are
proud. These tunes are designed to stick in your brain forever- so
proceed at your own risk. And never forget—werebears need love too…”

ABOUT TIM SULLIVAN: Writer/Director/Producer Tim Sullivan is known
for a wide variety of modern horror films, most significantly cult
favorite 2001 Maniacs (2005) and its popular follow-up, Field of
Screams (2010). He 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.
Upcoming projects through Sullivan’s production entity, New Rebellion
Entertainment include teen comedy Battle of the Bands, queer fear
anthology Triptych, and The Poet in Exile, a stirring drama based on
The Doors co-founder Ray Manzarek’s bestselling novel about his life
with Jim Morrison.
