Bill Zebub is the manager of Bill Zebub Productions. His production company publishes a quarterly magazine titled The Grimoire of Exalted Deeds, mainly about death metal music and independent movies. He has made an array of low-budget films, and also is the host of a radio show on WFMU in the New Jersey area. He hosts the show under the alias 'Professor Dum Dum'. His stage name is a pun on the Hebrew demon, named Beelzebub.

I own one of his movies which is of course awful, and not in a good way. He doesn't like Jesus, christmas and rap music and likes to provoke with rape. Here are his 40 most popular titles based on IMDb voting counts. Seen any of these?

I really like the worst horror movie ever made (original)  and the most offensive comedy ever made and I think I liked Dirtbags too. Worst horror movie ever made is my favorite though

Damn , I thought this was going to be about the Beezlezbubs cartoon. Not familiar with this guys work.

Not surprised, he has his own youtube channel

I never heard of him.
Don't seem like anything I would watch-ever.

He made almost 70 films since 2002 so I was wondering who his audience is. This is niche stuff not for everyone. Some of his movies were shown at Indie/Horror film festivals but none won awards or anything.
I checked a few trailers on his youtube page, they all look awful. He certainly loves to cast himself fondling naked women in his movies. He has his own production company, he distributes his movies through his own DVD company.

Seems like he can make a living off of this, or maybe he has rich parents.

We reviewed one of his movies ("Dickshark") on 366 Weird Movies, and the author insisted on posting it anonymously because he didn't want anyone to know he had watched the movie voluntarily.

"The production values and editing reminds one of 'Manos: The Hands of Fate,' but with more vaginas."

Yikes. His movies remind me of stuff from Brain Damage Films. The bin at the store was flooded with that crap back in the early 2000s.

[LilCerberus]

In a weird way, this reminds me how many years I spent trying to kiss Drew Bolduc's @$$...

[Rev. Powell]

So, coincidentally, he released a new movie today. The cover upload to Amazon was improperly cropped (love the attention to detail!), but the title is "Dumb and Dahmer," which is actually kind of clever.

[chainsaw midget]

I've heard of his movies, and have seen screen shots, but I never watched any of them.  I don't plan on watching any of them either. 

He strikes me as very much like the Polonia brothers except with a lot more "look how dark and edgy I am!" thrown in.

He had a death metal zine called The Grimoire of Exalted Deeds back in the day.

[FatFreddysCat]

He's from my neck o' the woods (New Jersey), and was pretty well known in the local metal scene back in the day. If you went to any extreme metal gigs in the area he'd usually be there, wearing one of those big Viking helmets with horns on it and passing out copies of his fanzine.  

I still have a few old issues of the "Grimoire of Exalted Deeds" in my stash of metal mags. I haven't looked at them in years but they were funny in an extremely juvenile sort of way. The dude would just crap on EVERYTHING, I don't know why record labels kept sending him stuff to review. I guess being trashed by him was a badge of honor for some bands.

I saw him in a record store once years ago, just browsing thru the CDs with his Viking helmet on. I almost went up to him to tell him how much I enjoyed his 'zine, but decided against it.

I've never bothered with any of his "horror" movies. From the clips I've seen, they look like silly, "this movie is bad on purpose" shot-with-a-camcorder crap, which I don't dig.

[claws]

I've only seen one of his films and I noticed a strong death metal and goth "vibe" throughout. One can easily tell Zebub is into metal, which sort of reflects in the movie. In Kill the Scream Queen (2004) he plays the killer tying up, raping, humiliating and murdering women. Apparently his intention is to shock horror fans but it is repetitive and boring.
Appalling by default - because of non-acting, camcoder visuals, fugly local "actors" and a dime store setting with icky sleaze. It's intellectually insulting trash. No decent dialogue, nobody to root for, no sympathetic characters, no sense for atmosphere or direction, nothing there to make it engaging, no attempt to make it interesting, not interested in making it scary.

Is this what Zebub thinks is horror? If anything it is uncool misogynistic fetish crap.
Could have worked maybe as a witty dark comedy, but I guess the makers are lacking smarts for that.

I found some of his movies at FYE a few times but I'm not tempted into getting them.  They look below bottom of the barrell.
