(Writer Brad Royce) 
Brad Royce gets the distinction of being the first person interviewed for the site. He is selected because, he owns the site, all other celebs were either too busy or too nervous about facing Mortis, and oddly enough,... he and Mortis have matching schedules.
Under Protest
Mortis Rigor (MR): I just want to state for the record that I think this interview is a sham. You promised that I would be interviewing big stars of horror, not some schmuck that has written a couple of little things. I will say this; your first name bares a striking resemblance to Brad Pitt’s first name.
Brad Royce (BR): I can appreciate your apprehension, but you have to learn to crawl before you can walk.
(MR): What kind of Voodoo BS is that?
(BR): Look, Mort, you must not forget that you work for me and you are just a figment of my imagination.
(MR): Let you not forget that I could crush your windpipe with a flick of my wrist and not even break a sweat. Don’t ever call me Mort again, you dig?
(BR): Ah, Mortis, er Mr. Rigor, my apologies. No disrespect intended. I’ll get you stars, I promise.
(MR): Your life will depend on it, writer man. (Laughing) Ha, I just blew your mind didn’t I?
(BR): Yeah, awesome.
(MR): All right, what’s new Mr. Royce?
(BR): Well, in addition to working to make Mortis-Rigor.com the most killer website on the planet, I am also working on a few new writing projects and some new pool designs for ctcpool.com and some other cool new Abomination Gear designs, inspired by you, my friend. I also have a couple of short screenplays that I have written that are getting some interest from some producers and directors. I have a short that I listed with Inktip.com about two months ago that received several script requests and even received two modest offers. I declined both since I feel there is a greater long-term, feature potential for it. I am also under serious consideration for another script for a web series of horror shorts.
(MR): Yeah great, so you are making my site a big deal huh? You’ll make me a star?
(BR): Well, that’s the hope Mort…er, Mortis. Once people take in your boyish good looks and winning personality, your bound to be a star.
(MR): You know, this interview is going pretty well. When things do start to take off, I’m going to want a personal assistant. Maybe we should start taking applications?
(BR): When the Menace Society™ reaches 10,000 members, I’ll get you an assistant. So, do you want to know about my first completed feature Hostile Conscience, or my second Expiration Date that is nearly complete?
(MR): Nah, I’m good. Why don’t you get on the horn and get me some horror stars. I promise I probably won’t hurt them.
(BR): Uh, Ok. I’ll see whom I can get. Remember, you did promise to be on your best behavior. We really need these people to make it out of here alive. It will be good for repeat business.
On The Horizon
Work will continue on the various CutThroat Creations' websites. Royce hopes to further develop the storyline for the Mortis Rigor comic horror series and launch it as a graphic novel or comic books. He hopes to finish writing Expiration Date by the end of 2008 and hopes to have sold his first screenplay bythe end of the year as well. The Plea Agreement has been entered into a couple of contests and it is hoped that it does well to increase the exposure and marketability of the script.
CutThroat CueSports™ will continue to expand its market presence and expand its product line. The goal is to double the number of authorized dealers by the end of 2008.
