Trash:
What the heck??
|
|
So, you're
probably wondering where the heck Appalling Trash Productions came
from? Well, I'm gonna tell ya!

|
History |
|
Back in 1992, my good friend Justin B. and I started writing stories
at high school - strange stories. Very strange stories indeed! Parody,
yes. But conventional parody, no! The stories became a mix of real
people, movie characters, then-current events and ridiculous
situations involving hamsters and the entire Javanese football team!
And with such titles as The Towering Phlegm Dispenser, Psycho
Revisited, The Slut Seekers, we either desperately needed
urgent medical attention, or deserved praise for creating such
imaginative works.
In the space of two short years we churned out more than 150
stories of varying length, varying quality and certain questionable
taste. There were even two movies: To Kill A Hollander (1992) and
Ten
Little Pussycats (1992), produced by Pigmy Productions, the fake
production company set up by me to manage the burgeoning trash
empire.

Post-High School Shenanigans |
After high school, Justin and I went our own ways, signalling the end
of our creative output. But I was unwilling to give in without a
fight, so I continued on my merry way, writing more stories, producing
21 Pigmy Books - (Book 21, Pauline the Putz, 1999, pictured below) -
and developing new characters.

New Beginning |
|
In May 2000, Pigmy Productions'
headquarters moved to Japan. The move caused some controversy and, for
a time, Pigmy was on the verge of self-destruction. No stories, no
books, NOTHING! But then things started to change. Creative juices
began to flow again. Soon, modern classics such as I Still Know
What You Did To My Cat and Fart And I'll Blow Your Head Off!
were published. The future was looking rosy.

New Name: New
Format |
|
After careful deliberation - Queen
Shirley of Hutt River Province was consulted - it was decided to give
Pigmy Productions a nice, fond farewell and to usher in the age of
APPALLING TRASH (better known to its admirers as AT).
The name Appalling Trash seemed so natural, so appropriate that Pigmy
Productions was soon forgotten....well, not completely. But, hey,
times change. Formats change, too. Gone were the days of parodies on
paper. No! The new-look, ultra-modern Appalling Trash team headed to
the Internet and secured the domain name www.appallingtrash.com
and set about creating a website unlike any other.
With fake celebrities, fake celebrity news, a fake film database - and
just plain fake everything! - Appalling Trash effortlessly morphed
from story collection to online mega-portal! Enjoy Appalling Trash!

| Update
2008 |
|
Back
in Australia, Appalling Trash board members
decided to "mainstream" the site just
a tad. The
Fake Film Database, overwhelmingly voted
the most appropriate name for the site, came
into being, but Appalling Trash won't be sent to
the scrap heap anytime soon. It's very
much an Appalling Trash creation; the two names
will be used interchangeably to promote the
site.
Enjoy,
Skott,
The Fake Film Database CEO
