Bio Eric Spudic
was an accident spawned in Mt. Olive, IL. Though determined to make his life worthwhile, it's been a hard road filled
with potholes, detours, and uzi-toting midgets. Eric started out shooting on Super-8 and VHS-C, making short films and
eventually his first(and still unreleased for good reasons) feature entitled ATTACK OF THE BATHROOM CREATURE. He was
a mere 17 years old. Eric spent his high school days being beaten and ridiculed for his small stature so he escaped
by watching cinema. He amassed a collection of thousands, watching everything from Roger Corman b-movies and Adam Sandler
comedies to 80's Italian action films and blockbuster Schwarzenegger pictures. After high school, while
working at a local video store, he sold two rock songs that he penned the lyrics to. By 19, he was discovered by cult
film director David DeCoteau, who urged the youngster to keep writing, making movies, and acting. Knowing that Spudic
was a huge fan of Full Moon Entertainment and Charles Band, DeCoteau invited Eric to fly to Hollywood to tour the studios,
meet the filmmakers, and to make his first appearance in a Hollywood motion picture: MICRO MINI KIDS.
Eric returned home with much knowledge and many connections. He started cranking out big-budget spec scripts such as
THE TAKEOVER OF TOMORROW, TEENAGE VIGILANTE, and DEAD EVIL. After realizing nobody wanted to produce them, he went back
to acting, taking a leading role in PSYCHO SANTA, which he also helped to produce. Shortly after, Eric was working on
a Missouri-based horror flick called THE UNDERTOW, when St. Louisan Eric Stanze recruited Spudic to direct his own script
called KILLERS BY NATURE.
Around this time, Eric was also writing low-budget films to help pay the rent. Some of these included AQUANOIDS and
CREEPIES, both of which sold phenomenally well on video/dvd and overseas. Eric also made long treks to act in DEAD CLOWNS
and SAVAGE HARVEST 2 shortly after.
Then in 2004 came the big move to Hollywood. Eric soon hooked up with one of his favorite filmmakers, Fred Olen Ray,
making appearances in films such as BIKINI CHAIN GANG and THE LEGEND OF WILLIAM TELL. Eric penned a new slasher called
MASSACRE MANSION as his next directing vehicle. Meanwhile, he's been acting in a lot of films for The Asylum such as
SUPERCROC and 100 MILLION BC.
Eric's lifelong dream is to act in a movie in the Philippines and to do a large budget remake of his very first movie.
As of 2008, Eric has worked on 60+ feature films, has over a quarter-million dvds on store shelves, and appears on cable television
2-3 times per week. His website www.ericspudic.com has garnered over 50,000 hits. His current interests include
hiking, Tae Kwon Do, ripping loud farts, and eating toasted ravioli. He also hopes someday there will be a Jessica Biel/Jennifer
Aniston sex tape.
