If it's outrageous and shocking, odds are Rotten Cotton has a t-shirt for it. So who better for them to team up with than Cult Movie Mania, a site dedicated to the schlock & shock of cult movies? Read on to see what treasures this unholy alliance is unleashing!

First up is the Uncut version of Chris Woods' Amerikan Holokaust. Here's the skinny straight from the Rc/Cmm Newsletter:

It may seem hard to believe that a movie could actually be shocking these days. You’re probably skeptical because so many movies talk a big game but never match their own hype.

Amerikan Holokaust is the real deal

Eyeball chewing... intestines wiggling... scrotum stomping... This “private home video” of two whacked out Vietnam vets on a killing spree is ghastly. You’re assaulted right along with the kidnapped victims on screen. Amerikan Holokaust oozes with depraved perversion, gore, and sleaze...

Directed by: Marcus Koch

Written by: Katie Walters, Kristian Day, Jeff Dylan Graham

Cast: Jeff Dylan Graham, Katie Walters, Kristian Day

Every so often, a role comes along that is so juicy and dynamic that an actor truly gets to sink his teeth in to the hilt and give it a good shake; these roles allow the actor to show a range of emotion and progress his character throughout the length of the film in ways that most scripts simply fail at enabling.

Enter Fell, the newest feature-length offering from Marcus Koch. Best known for his special effects work in films like Walking Distance and Sweatshop, Koch also directed the cult favorite 100 Tears and Rot, showing a wide range of ability in his warped mind. Fell is very different than anything we've seen from Koch before, and for good reason; during the Q&A at Bloodbath Film Festival in Texas,...

Jeff Dylan Graham, the ultimate horror actor, the ultimate chameleon. You might not recognize his face and that's for good reason. You see Jeff changes up his appearance like Lindsey Lohan drinks alcohol. Jeff has appeared in his fair share of horror movies and more in likely you've seen something that he has appeared in and just didn't realize it. He has worked with special effects artists and part time director Marcus Koch several times throughout his career including a starring role in Fell. For part one of this interview we asked Jeff about his appearances in Fell, Bloodsucking Vampires, one of those countless Witchcraft films, October Moon and November Son. Here is what he had to say.

So who is Jeff Dylan Graham and what are you all about?

First off, I'm a Huge geek. Any of my friends will tell you the same. I like long walks on the beach,...

Marcus Koch seems to be the go to guy for special effects these days in the indie horror world. Having racked up a number of credits in the past few years including Bloody Bloody Bible Camp starring Reggie Bannister (Phantasm), Tim Sullivan (host of the TV show Scream Queens and director of 2001 Maniacs: Field of Screams), and adult film superstar Ron Jeremy. He has also worked on Herschell Gordon Lewis's The Uh-Oh Show, Andrew Allan's Brainjacked, Jay Woelfel's Live Evil and many other films. Marcus Koch has also stepped back into the director's chair with Fell starring Jeff Dylan Graham. Here's what Marcus Koch had to say about his career.

So who is Marcus Koch and what is he all about?

Not sure yet, but, I'm a Pieces. Sometimes I don hideous mohawks, listen to bad 80's music and collect cheesy tuxedo t-Shirts. I love horror films and I love weird art.
