Brandon Perras-Sanchez is a writer, musician, filmmaker and actor who is inspired by 80s horror, folklore, fantasy, mythology, metal and noise rock. He grew up in the woods of Vermont but now resides in Providence, RI. He is currently working on future horror projects such as Monster Makeup's third full length film, Queen of the Rats and a second book/screenplay To Break A Pale Yolk.
Brandon is part of the production company Monster Makeup who brought you the gory, campy, Drag Queen cult classic Death Drop Gorgeous, the nightmarish folk horror Saint Drogo and music videos for Providence noise rock weirdos Anxious Wave .
What drives Perras-Sanchez as a writer are the sasquatch that lurk in the woods, the sea monsters that rule the deep, and the ghosts that haunt the abandoned house at the end of the street. These fantastical creatures are at the center of his artistic practice because they embody themes of feeling “unnatural” and ostracism. Growing up as a queer Cuban kid in a conservative part of Vermont, he often felt like an outsider, not only because of his sexuality, but also his Spanish heritage. He found his friends in the stacks of library books that he would haul home—the strange, dark and mystical inhabitants of mythology, cryptozoology and more. The worlds of monsters, witches, ghosts and other creatures of lore became a refuge, where the outcasts and the feared felt right at home.
Stay tuned for updates for these projects along with a few more surprises in the works.
Respect all animals and don't be an asshole.
