Principal, Guidance Counselor Create Risque ‘Slasher' Films

The principal of a Granby middle school and a guidance counselor in Windsor are accused of using aliases to make independent horror films featuring violence and nudity.

Dr. Mark Foley, the principal of Granby Memorial Middle School, and Aaron Vnuk, a counselor at Sage Park Middle School in Windsor, have been allegedly producing risque “slasher” films through their company Moongoyle Entertainment.

“Fresh blood, hot babes, cool flicks” is the company’s motto.

The company's business profile on the Secretary of the State's Web site lists Vnuk and Foley by name. IMDB, however, names them by their alleged pseudonyms "Mark Daniel" and "Aaron Thomas Howell."

Local residents are questioning the educators' motives.

“If he found doing those movies perfectly acceptable, why where they made under a pseudonym?” Granby resident Leonda Markee wondered.

Granby Supt. Alan Addley said Foley has been placed on administrative leave while the school system investigates.

“The administration and BOE are concerned about the judgment used to be engaged in such activities while serving as an educational leader. Accordingly, we are looking into this matter to obtain all the facts,” Addley said in a statement.

He said initial reports indicate that Foley has not done anything illegal but that “all the facts need to be determined before any judgments are issued concerning this matter.”

Vnuk's status at Sage Park Middle School was not immediately clear.

"I do think there needs to be a discussion of what is appropriate and what isn't," said Markee.

Neither Foley nor Vnuk returned a response for comment. Their current involvement with the film company is unclear.
