Chainsaw Sally Getting Distro; Animated Series Moving into Pre-Production
Chainsaw Sally is one of my personal favorite horror characters. She’s sexy, she’s hilarious, and she’s brutal as hell. And now, Chainsaw Sally is getting distribution for her feature film and a green light on pre-production for her animated series.
Co-created by Jimmyo and April Burril (who also plays Sally), the fantastic Chainsaw Sally character has appeared in two seasons of her own web series as well as in the feature film. It’s the feature that will receive distro from Black Wolf Media with a 2015 release date. The release will be a double feature; in addition to Chainsaw Sally: The Movie, Black Wolf will release another Jimmyo Burril project, The Good Sisters, starring April Burril and Debbie Rochon.
Additionally, an animated version of Chainsaw Sally has been in the works for some time, and it’s now been announced that Bloody Bombshell Entertainment and Fatality Films have moved into pre-production on a Chainsaw Sally animated series. And honestly, this character is absolutely perfect for animation. The over-the-top blood and gore from The Chainsaw Sally Show will be even more extreme in cartoon form.

From the Press Release:
Bloody Bombshell Entertainment and Fatality Films have partnered with Some Folks Entertainment to secure a distribution deal with Black Wolf Media for a double-feature release of the films Chainsaw Sally: The Movie and The Good Sisters. Both films were written and directed by cult horror icon Jimmyo Burril.
Chainsaw Sally: The Movie stars April Burril as Sally and was originally released in 2004. Traumatized after witnessing the murder of her parents as a young girl, the film follows an older Sally as she grows up to be a serial killer. The Good Sisters, also starring April Burril alongside legendary scream queen Debbie Rochon, features the duo as practicing witches who hide their discretions from their neighbors, until a new neighbor threatens their practice with his own secret life.
Release dates will be announced in 2015.
This news comes ahead of a second announcement that Bloody Bombshell Entertainment and Fatality Films will be moving into the second phase of pre-production on Chainsaw Sally: The Animated Series this winter. Based on the original Chainsaw Sally film and television series, Jimmyo Burril returns as the creative force, and April Burril will be reprising her role of Sally. Rochon joins the cast as Blondie. The cast has already announced the voice talents of Christopher Judge (“Stargate SG-1”), Nicholas Brendon (“Buffy the Vampire Slayer”), and Tristan Risk (American Mary). The series begins animation in early 2015 and will premiere later in the year.
