Stephen Biro has been a part of a bit of everything at some time or another. He’s owned the largest comic book store, Hooked on Comics, in Tampa Bay, Florida, which evolved into a cult video store, Video Mayhem, in Y-bor, Florida. From these beginnings came the horror DVD company, Unearthed Films, distributing independent horror movies for over fifteen years across North America.  Stephen produced the film, Philosophy of a Knife with director, Andrey Iskanov in Russia, which premiered at Sitges in 2008.

As the years went by, Stephen continued to release amazing horror product through his company, Unearthed Films. Titles included Frankenhooker, Rock & Rule, Aftermath and other unique horror films with an outrageous bite or cult fan base.  With the acquired rights, Stephen decided to remake the Guinea Pig films that were released in Japan in the 1980’s. He called this the new American Guinea Pig Series.  

Stephen’s directorial debut was American Guinea Pig: Bouquet of Guts and Gore. Due to the extreme nature of this film, it had limited festival run. Yet again, however, it was showcased at Sitges in 2014. It’s been released in Japan, Germany, France and North America.

Stephen has written several screenplays for other filmmakers. And while Stephen may be known for the more outrageous side of horror, he maintains a great sense of humor.  He wrote the screenplay for the award-winning film, Bubba the Redneck Werewolf (2017), which was based on an underground comic. He then followed-up with the brutal and beautifully artistic film, American Guinea Pig: Bloodshock.  

Stephen has also written several books all dealing with intense Christian horror. His first, Hellucination, is his memoir about finding God and also finding the Devil, depicting his journey through Hell. This controversial book was followed with, Dialogue with the Devil an outrageous look into the Devil’s mind, his machinations and manipulations of society and humankind. Satan Reborn was next. Stephen jokes and lets his readers know, this book is entirely fictional. It basically boils down to the devil wants to quit his job and Stephen ends up becoming the new Devil.  

Now, based in Los Angeles, Stephen sets his sights on the possession genre due to his intense emotional bond with Christianity and his personal dealings with the Devil.  With American Guinea Pig: The Song of Solomon, Stephen brings 100% real exorcism rituals taken from the book, De Exorcismus et Supplicationibus Quirbusdam bought from the Vatican library and translated from Latin into English. This will be the very first exorcism film to showcase the rituals used by the Catholic church.

Along with 100% practical FX, and not a single drip of CGI, The Song of Solomon will truly impact all those who recognize scripture and understand that the forces of evil are put in place to not only test souls but to bring about the end of times.
