Dennis
Devine grew up on Sussex Street in the 1960s, across the street
from the McCarty’s. Dennis
and Kelly McCarty were each other’s first best friends as young
kids, often playing baseball at Coyle Park. Dennis and Larry were
also friends, and Dennis’s dad, who loved horror films, took
Dennis and Jerry to their first M (for Mature) rated movie
(starring Vincent Price) when they were pretty young (I’m not
inclined to say how young).
When
Dennis moved to Los Angeles to attend film school and pursue a
career making movies, he ran into Larry McCarty, who also moved to
Southern California, and they renewed their friendship. Dennis
never made big mainstream movies, but he did have a career making
independent films, in the micro budget range (which his very,
very, very low). Jerry attended many of Dennis’s premieres and
usually had him on his pod cast around Halloween. For sure Jerry
and Kelly remembered Dennis as this sort of strange kid who
painted monster models in his basement and over inflated the
actual number of baseball cards he owned and I (yes this is
Dennis) will always be grateful for their friendships!
If
any of you would like to view any of my films, there are several
streaming. The one I
recommend the most (it is a huge step above most of my films
available online) is “Nightmare in Argus.” However, it is
R-rated and not family friendly so you may need to watch it late
at night? Or you could
check out one of my comedies, “Get the Girl.”
