A.C. McCray

Shooting new film next month, working on a new podcast idea, writing 2 script pitches (one for Kelsey and I's long time project, one for an unproduced major Broadway musical), still plugging away little by little on my book, continuing to pursue my dream job with AEW and seeking film projects for 2023 and beyond.

Working as hard as I possibly can to grow myself, my ambitions and more. Hard work doesn't always pay off, but my art and my family make it all worth it. Even if nothing ever comes of it in a big way, I've tried. No one can ever say I haven't. Just searching for the big win.

....and we're back. New projects on the horizon, including this one...shoots soon.

I know it's been radio silence for a bit. Dealing with some personal things. Back soon. Love you all.

To quote another famous clown "You like blood? Violence? Freaks of nature?" or have you ever wondered, 'Hmm...I wonder what A.C. looks like naked in a clown mask?' (don't worry, no one has)...then I have something for you to spend your Christmas money on!
I was in both of these films - in Night of the Dolls as a drunk jerk at a bar, and in House of Wh**es, I play Sluggo - a slobbish, ladies' man of a clown whose likes include sexy ladies and creating twisted torture devices for the boys to use and whose dislikes include clothes. Oh yeah, I also do my take on the POS televangelists....you know the ones...as Father Nelson.

You can now own either or both of these films by HM&M Films on Blu-Ray! They come packed with special features and House of Wh**es:Killogy has all three films featuring me, some good buddies, as well a some retired p**n star named Riley Grey...she's pretty hot you know..like THE hottest and super fun. I may have liked her so much I put a ring on it... 😉 .

Regardless, If you like your films gore-filled, sexy and funny all at the same time, you'll LOVE these films! Night of the Dolls even has a killer soundtrack! Don't miss out and buy your copy NOW!!! These have been out of print for a bit and are going fast - ACT NOW!!

Soooo...I guess the project I've been teasing I can share with you all now!

Ladies, Gentlemen, and those who don't wish to be identified by a gender, I am the new lead host of the Infamous Horror Podcast! The Infamous Horror social media brand is well established with over 2 million followers on Facebook alone, and with the new Infamous Horror Project, the sky is the limit and we are all working hard to make this a great success!

For months, myself and my co-host "The Collector of Conversation" Jay Kay (Filmmaker, Longtime Podcaster, Convention Guru and more) Steve and Martin (of Hail to the Deadites fame) have been putting this together and thinking of ideas for the show. We've got ideas for the first 20 or so shows, with more to come. I suspect it will find its voice around episode 46 (hehehe....for those in the know). As we go, I hope to not be a "normal" podcast - I am working to develop features, content and stories that will be included along with the normal podcast stuff.....so many ideas, but have to do this right!

The first episode is fun, as we chat with John Dugan of Texas Chainsaw Massacre 1974 while he enjoys a few adult beverages and then chat with the awesome Eduardo Sanchez, co-creator and director of the Blair Witch Project, Lovely Molly, V/H/S 2, TV's Supernatural and MUCH more. We are also formally starting a campaign to get Disney to chat with him about directing something in the Star Wars Universe.

Tune in for all that and MUCH more in our supersized first episode!

Join us Friday at 6pm EST at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wc6UdDaz44Q or here on FB Live via Infamous Horror and make sure to like us on social media as well by searching Infamous Horror!

Had a great time in NYC last weekend shooting Dream Girl with director Jeremy Max. Going to be a great film and I hear the footage looks amazing!

It was an amazing trip. Details and photos to come!

Last night during the Podcast recording, we talked with Ed Sanchez, co creator of The Blair Witch Project, but also a director on TV series like Supernatural, Queen of the South, American Horror Stories and more.

He is a HUGE Star Wars fan, and I mentioned we should start a petition to have Disney let him direct an episode of The Mandalorian.

Until last night, I'd never et or spoken with him. You can see his love of Star Wars, and it inspired him to do what he does today. It's a great reminder to all of us trying to live our dreams.
It is for that reason, I started this petition. A fan is a fan, no matter what level you are. I will always try and help others achieve goals how I can, so here we are.

Please share this, sign it and try and get people to look. Ed has been working hard for many years. It is worth a shot, ALWAYS, to try and help someone achieve a dream. Sign the petition!

Sign the Petition DISNEY:Let Director Eduardo Sanchez direct an episode of The Mandalorian

One week from this exact time, I'll be leaving my Times Square hotel to walk about 10 minutes to set to film my first professional & paid role in NYC - a long time goal.

I'm excited, nervous and so much more. Ready to do this!

It is official! I have been cast in the upcoming film Dream Girl, which will shoot in NYC later this month!

While I am in NYC, I will also be filming my scenes for the Joel Reed biopic, based on the life of the infamous director of Bloodsucking Freaks.

Hoping to also make, at the very least, a qucik spiritual pilgramage to Hook and Ladder 8....THE Firehouse (at least on the outside), and a few other meaningful places to me.

Two roles. NYC....all in my favorite month. I am excited beyond belief. I'll bw sure to share photos of my journey along the way...

Stay tuned!

Great news gang! I find out soon, but I may have a PAID gig in NYC (of all places) later this month for a very interesting scene for an NYU student film.

Also landed another audition for a film in LA. Lots going on, but to quote a very popular musical - "I am not throwing away my shot".

Let's go!

I can't wait for this to arrive in November!

I've been a Renthead since 97, but was introduced to Tick Tick Boom about 20 years ago. As I grew older, even working on different things than Jonathan did, I still felt that "rush to achieve greatness" that he did as well....I still do. Don't get me wrong, I like my day job, but every creative type can't fathom being behind a desk for life. It's not us, no matter how good we can do at it.

I don't care about fame or fortune, but in the song Johnny Can't Decide, there is a line Jonathan shares I relate to. He says,

"I want to write music
I want to sit down
Right now at the piano
And write a song that
People will listen to and remember
And do the same thing every morning
For the rest of my life"

I may not be a musician these days (still dabble some), but the point is, if I could wake up everyday and create and do that for a living, that would be the dream. Not money, not big houses or fancy cars....I just want to entertain people in one way or another. I've been working towards that for over two decades. Does anyone else feel that way? If so, I suspect you'll love the musical.

Busy weekend ahead gang!

I have to do two taped auditions for directors - one for a horror film in Chicago and one for a drama short in L.A. The drama hits home for me a lot, and the horror is just fun as always.

I also have to record three videos for the new project, and chat at some point with my partner in said project...he's a busy, award winning filmmaker with his new film, so he's a busy man, but we will connect hopefully this weekend.

Also setting up our home haunt since spooky season is here! Probably setting up the fence and new cemetery pillars and archway! Pics to come! Haven't set up in a while...it'll be fun!

Also hoping to make it down to see my old friend, director Dan Murphy after we lost two members of our film family this week. Vergena Fields and her mom, Dottie, tragically lost their lives in a terrible accident this week. Vergena was a fantastic actress and was so close to breaking through. Her mom was like a mom to me and always pushing me - and everyone - to be better. I will miss them both terribly. If you can find one of Vergena's films this weekend, check it out...for them.

Have a great weekend!

Hello everyone! Welcome to my new online page for all my upcoming projects.

So much is happening - some I can talk about, some I can't YET, but my goal is simple...it isn't fame and fortune, it is to create and entertain in fun and unique ways, meet great people along the way and show kindness to all in my path (even when talking about grotesque horror things).

If you're finding me for the first time, welcome. I have been acting for almost 25 years in both stage and indie film productions. You might have seen me in Hail to the Deadites sharing the story of my son Ash or the House of Wh**es film series where I played Sluggo the Clown, with more projects on the horizon. I have written and directed my own short film and various projects I hope to produce some day, been an indie pro wrestler, and am currently the co-host of the Infamous Horror Podcast (coming November 2021). I also co-own a traveling dark history and oddities museum with my wife, called The Wicked Wonders Dark History and Oddities Museum. I am a huge nerd at heart and love most things geeky and horror based. I'm a HUGE Ghostbusters fan, and love all sorts of film - everything from dark comedies to epic period dramas. I love making people laugh and love to entertain in my weird, awkward yet unique way.

Life is a journey and mine has been a hell of a ride so far....join me on my new adventures and lets make some great art and some good memories! Remember, you can live you dreams...work for it and it can happen!

Stay spooky!
