About this user
There is precious little that outlaw filmmaker Hart D. Fisher hasnt accomplished.
He is a successful horror author, a critically acclaimed poet (Poems for the Dead), a savage horror filmmaker, and a sharp new voice now lending his unique talents to the world of music videos, having directed cutting edge videos for international death metal legends Obituary and kings of black metal Dark Funeral and is currently involved in projects with horror metal superstar Glenn Danzig. His first feature, The Garbage Man, releasing on DVD June 2009, has been an official selection of film festivals around the world and garnered the creator rave reviews, including praise from the likes of FANGORIAs Tony Timpone and Rue Morgue Magazine.

With a long and controversial career which began in comic books, where Fisher discovered such talents as Gerard Way (lead singer for the chart-topping rock band My Chemical Romance); John Cassaday (Captain America) and political essayist Stephen Elliot (a regular contributor for the San Francisco Chronicle, award-winning novelist and child protection advocate) among others, Fisher carved out a fierce reputation and was dubbed The Most Dangerous Man in Comics. (Hero Illustrated, 1994.)

Fishers opinions on serial killers and serial killer culture have been sought by numerous television producers for programs such as ABC's DayOne, CNN's Murder By Numbers documentary, Entertainment Tonight, Larry King Live, The Jerry Springer Show, The Bertice Berry Show, CNN Headline News, A&E's Biography, and in magazines such as Time, Tattoo Savage, Hero Illustrated, People, The Comics Journal, the non-fiction best seller The A-Z Guide to Serial Killers and many more.
Fisher began his art career as the publisher behind Boneyard Press, a ferociously independent publishing house that has garnered coverage all over the world, in Japan (Words), Germany (Ego Magazine), England (The Sun) and brought the mass media (as well as protest marchers) to his door thanks to books such as Jeffrey Dahmer: An Unauthorized Biography of a Serial Killer, OJ's Big Bust Out, Rush Limbaugh Must Die, Dark Angel and Howard Stern Vs. Rush Limbaugh. Fisher's two collections of poetry, (Poems for the Dead & Still Dead) have been lauded in Wicked Mystic, Carpe Noctem, and Dark's Art Parlor to name but a few. His work has been called relentless and heart wrenching.
Ive always said that poetry was for people who werent hard enough to write prose, and most of it makes me throw it against a wall, but Poems for the Dead kicked my guts out. Warren Ellis/Planetary
Twice, Hero Illustrated placed Mr. Fisher in their 100 Most Important People In The Comics Industry list, and rock star Glenn Danzig hired Fisher to be the managing editor for his publishing company, Verotik. Fisher and co-author Christian Moores story for Verotika #4, "A Taste of Cherry" has the notorious distinction of being banned in Oklahoma on the grounds that it was obscene material and is banned in that state to this day. Never one to shy away from outrageous showmanship, Fisher has faked his own death, spit in the eye of industry goliath Marvel Comics (at the largest comic convention in America Fisher printed up hundreds of black t-shirts proclaiming that "Marvel Can Suck My Cock-- The shirts sold out instantly and dogged the larger comics publisher at comics conventions for years after) and has proven he has a gift for stirring up controversy that sells his products by the truckload.
"Hart has proven he has talent and there is a market out there for queasy, uneasy, in-yo'-face, material. -Tattoo Savage Magazine
In addition to serving as producer and on camera host for the internationally syndicated television program American Horrors (broadcast in over 17 different countries) and its distribution wing here in the United States (with distribution partners Indie Pictures), Mr. Fisher has been writing, directing, or producing his television shows American Horrors, Flowers on the Razorwire, doing pre-production for The Living Weapon, running his post production house Crime Pays Inc. and has handed off the translation of Poems For The Dead into Portuguese to international recording artists Moonspell front man Fernando Riberio. Mr. Fisher has been a paid feature speaker around the world (including a headlining role at the Festival of Fantasy & Terror in Mexico City, sharing a building with the President of Mexico), and has spoken publically about American poetry, team building, leadership development, and all things horror. Mr. Fisher is currently the subject of a new documentary, Hart D. Fisher and the Untold Story of Boneyard Press (directed by horror sensation Roger Nobody Loves Alice Scheck), that will be filming through out 2009.
