Damien Echols, menton3, & David Stoupakis Unveil Intense New Art Show & Book: SALEM
Monday around noon EST, artists menton3, David Stoupakis, and Damien Echols unveiled their first Kickstarter, SALEM, under their art collective name The Hand. This Kickstarter doubled its funding goal in less than two hours, and by the end of the night, had tripled it and then some.
This interview is not about the Kickstarter, but about the men behind it, the philosophies that go into the art and especially this specific project SALEM, and without sounding overly idealistic, it’s about making some changes.
I had the insane pleasure of chatting with one of the three members of The Hand, menton3, a man whose mind is genuinely as inspirational and deep as his art. We spoke about this new art collective and its place within 44Flood, bond with Damien Echols and David Stoupakis through menton3’s deep appreciation for his partners in art. And learn more about the gallery show and book that will open up the Salem Witch Trials for all of us on both a literal and abstract level of consciousness through several forms of art.
Check out this exclusive audio interview below.
From the SALEM Kickstarter: SALEM will be a three-man gallery show by Damien Echols, David Stoupakis, and menton3 scheduled to open March 19, 2016 at CoproGallery in Santa Monica, California.
The SALEM book will be written by Damien Echols and will be a 9×13.5″ hardcover book at 72 pages. The book will feature the artworks Damien, David, and menton3 created for the gallery show along with discussions on the pieces, as well as stories and new perspectives on the events leading up to, and during, the Salem witch trials.

Daniel Roebuck has been cast as Santa Claus in Terrifier 3, Bloody Disgusting can exclusively report.
Writer-director Damien Leone is currently wrapping production on the highly-anticipated sequel, in which Art the Clown unleashes chaos on the unsuspecting residents of Miles County as they peacefully drift off to sleep on Christmas Eve.
“I’ve been holding this secret for a long time!” Roebuck tells Bloody Disgusting. “I’ve been really excited about it. I’m actually entering into the movies that I watch. It’s extraordinary. This is Terrifier bigger, badder, best.”
Roebuck appears in Terrifier 3 alongside returning cast members David Howard Thornton, Lauren LaVera, Samantha Scaffidi, Elliot Fullam, and AEW superstar Chris Jericho.
No stranger to iconic horror properties, Roebuck has squared off against Michael Myers in Rob Zombie’s Halloween II, played The Count in Zombie’s The Munsters, succumbed to The Tall Man’s sphere in Phantasm: Ravager, and investigated death in Final Destination.
A distinguished character actor with over 250 credits, Roebuck has also appeared in The Devil’s Rejects, 3 from Hell, Bubba Ho-Tep, John Dies at the End, The Fugitive, Lost, Agent Cody Banks, and The Man in the High Castle. Incidentally, he’s also playing Santa in the family drama Saint Nick of Bethlehem, due out later this year.
Terrifier 3 will be released in theaters nationwide later this year via Cineverse and Bloody Disgusting in conjunction with our partner on Terrifier 2, Iconic Events Releasing.
