Meet The Crew
TIM PROCTOR ( Writer / Producer / Director )
In the realm of Horror Cinema, fear is induced organically when reality driven conflict coincides with the outlandish. These two conditions lose their respective boundaries as they collide, mangle, and feed off the anxiety generated by the other. At it’s dreadful core, Tim Proctor’s Varryck confronts us with the psychological ramifications of being helplessly ensnared by events out of our control and beyond our understanding. From the character’s conception, the essence of Varryck was crafted to embody a new, distinctive form of horror film villainy. The original story’s scope was written as, and always envisioned to be, a full length feature film.
Production of the short film serves as a point of origin. Tim’s background as a classically trained artist provides the visionary framework for the artistic virtue of Varryck and his professionalism as the film’s Creative Director stems from a long standing career as a self employed Illustrator. Having worked extensively in front of the camera as a Walker on the monumental AMC television horror series, The Walking Dead, Tim approaches Varryck with highly specialized, first hand experience and brings to the project a working knowledge of industry standard. Varryck celebrates Tim Proctor’s Filmmaking and Directorial debut.
SCOTT FENSTERER ( SFX Makeup )
Scott’s love for classic monsters began after seeing an old Castle Films 8mm home movie of Universal’s Frankenstein. It inspired his life-long fascination with art in cinema… From design to makeup, this passion continued to grow through his childhood. While other kids were busy watching movies, Scott was busy making them with neighborhood friends. This lifelong affection for his “lovable monsters” spreads into every corner of his world!
Since that time, Scott has been in the commercial arts field for over 25 years, working in film (Madea’s BOO – Special Makeup Effects Department), television (Robot Chicken, Season 5, Face Off/Game Face), toy prototype production (Mego, Proto-Hype Studios, Scott Fensterer Sculpture Studio), theme parks (Universal Studios, Walt Disney Corp), haunts, and more, but is best known for his appearances on the hit SYFY series FACE OFF and its spin-off, GAME FACE. He has won numerous awards, and was a 2019 nominee for the coveted Rondo award for “best event” for Gill-A-Bration, the 65th anniversary celebration the Creature from the Black Lagoon, an event held at Silver Springs, one of the filming locations of the series and attended by Ricou Browning, David J. Skal, and James-Michael Roddy.
Scott and Monster Manor co-creator, Michael Kinald conceptualized Monster Manor following a comment comparing his home to that of Gomez and Morticia Addams… A Monster Manor. With that, Monster Manor was born. By November of 2020, the show page was launched… and by January 2, 2021, the premier episode aired. Scott interviews each guest with respect and appreciation for the work they bring us.
