NEW TOETAG MOVIE UPDATE 🩸

The new TOETAG movie is happening. We’re planning to shoot late November into early December in Pittsburgh.

🎬 CASTING — FEMALE LEAD
We’re still looking for our female lead. Must be local to Pittsburgh or able to work in the area. The role involves nudity and heavy makeup/effects work.
Ages 30 to 50.

Send your information and photos to [email protected]

🎸 MUSIC WANTED
We’re also looking for music for the film. Rock & Roll, Metal, Punk, Hip-Hop — if you think your music belongs in a TOETAG movie, send us a link. You must be the owners and creators of the music.

☠️ HELP TOETAG MAKE A NEW MOVIE
We’ll soon be launching our Support the Film Fund, featuring two exclusive TOETAG T-shirt designs that will ONLY be available to people who donate and help us make this movie happen.

It’s been 16 years since we made a TOETAG picture, and we’re going back to our roots to create some truly disturbing art — the only way TOETAG knows how.

It hasn’t been easy. Jerami is in Los Angeles while Shelby and I are here in Pittsburgh, but we’re making it happen.

We will keep you posted, I appreciate every person who has supported TOETAG throughout the years. I’m truly excited for our resurrection.

HELP TOETAG MAKE OUR NEXT MOVIE

FOR SALE — AN ORIGINAL PIECE OF AUGUST UNDERGROUND / TOETAG HISTORY

This is the one that started it all.

I’m putting up my personal copy, one of the original first-run VHS copies of Fred Vogel’s AUGUST UNDERGROUND

This isn’t a modern re-release or reproduction. This is an original early VHS from the extremely limited first release, signed by Fred Vogel.

I’m including the complete collection pictured:

• Original August Underground VHS
signed by Fred Vogel
• Original case/cover
• Two August Underground photo prints
• TOETAG / August Underground memorabilia
• TOETAG Certificate of Authenticity signed by me

For collectors of extreme cinema and underground horror, this is the grail, a genuine piece of TOETAGs beginning.

The money from these sales are going directly toward making our next independent movie.

We want to get back to doing what we do best — making practical FX, building disgusting things by hand, no AI and pushing independent horror as far as we possibly can.

I need silicone. I need urethane. I need gallons and gallons and gallons of blood. I need prosthetic materials, molds, props and all kinds of FX supplies.

I want to make the goriest damn movie we’ve ever made. And trust me, it will be.

when you buy one of these pieces from our history, you’re not just buying memorabilia. You’re helping us create the next chapter of TOETAG.

$400
Payable by Zelle or PayPal.

Serious collectors, message me.

***UP DATE SOLD OUT ***

It’s happening. After 16 years TOETAG is getting back together to make a new movie in 2026. Fred and I are both hard at work making this happen. Script is being written, fx are being built, prop kits are being made.

I’m going through the TOETAG vaults and getting together all the original screen used props I have to make them available to you, the die hard fans and collectors that want to help us spread the TOETAG sickness and make this movie.

By purchasing these props and out of print movies and posters you will be helping us finance this next blood soaked project.
These are all original screen used props from all TOETAG EFX projects and are one of a kind. Each comes with a signed certificate of authenticity from me.

Here is one of the first things I found.

SCREEN USED VICTIM MASK
From the infamous Christmas home invasion scene from
August Underground’s Penance
$400 each

I have three of these available. Each one is screen used and comes with some cool TOETAG merch.

Help support independent underground film making and buy some of these really cool pieces of bloody film history.

Today is a pretty exciting day for me. I’m officially launching my new website: Burning Windmill.

For a long time, I’ve wanted to create a place that was completely my own—a home for my films, my art, my ideas, my stories, and everything I’m working on. A place where I can connect directly with all of you and share what’s happening behind the scenes and, hopefully, give you a glimpse into what’s coming next.

Burning Windmill is that place.

This is just the beginning. The site will continue to grow, with new artwork, merchandise, projects, and other weird s**t being added along the way. I’ve got a lot planned, and I’m excited to finally have a home where I can bring it all together.

Over this month I have lots more news to share especially more on the next TOETAG movie. So this is just the beginning of the next era of my career.

So welcome to Burning Windmill.

The doors are open.

From my personal collection. The Redsin Tower Massacre Video big box VHS and an original The Redsin Tower Pittsburgh Premiere gift bag that we hand assembled over 20 years ago for the film’s premiere. Every person who attended the screening got one of these bags. We screen printed the shirts, the bags and the patches ourselves, packed every bag by hand, and included exclusive promotional items made specifically for the event. These were never sold to the public.
We have two available the black bag and the blood red bag.

Each set includes:

• Brand new Massacre Video Big Box VHS (factory sealed)
• Original Pittsburgh Premiere screen-printed T-shirt
• Original premiere gift bag
• Numbered Pittsburgh Premiere ticket stub
• Original promotional postcards and flyers
• Redsin Tower patch/card
• TOETAG FX postcard
• Signed TOETAG FX Certificate of Authenticity from me, confirming it came from my personal collection.

I’ve held onto these for over 20 years, and it’s finally time for them to find homes with collectors who will appreciate them.

Once these are gone, we won’t be making more. This is a genuine piece of TOETAG Pictures and underground horror history from the original premiere.

$275 plus actual shipping.

Thanks for looking.

Redsin Tower was probably the most fun I had making a movie. It’s was just a bunch of young hungry artist getting together and making art. We had camp outs in the studio for days at a time while we shot. We built all the sets and made all the special effects in house with a crew of just a few awesome people. Good times.
