Birthplace:

Born:

Billy Tolley (born January 18, 1973) is an Audio/Video Tech, EVP analyst and paranormal investigator for "Ghost Adventures" TV show on the Travel Channel. He was previously a professional club DJ working as "DJ Inferno" in Las Vegas, NV. Billy has always been good with computers and has a strong background in audio editing and production software.  He was first intrigued by the paranormal after learning about electronic voice phenomena (EVP). Having many years of experience in music and a solid understanding of sound in general, his curiosity led him to investigate and capture EVPs for himself. Amazed at what he captured on his own, Billy soon started his own paranormal group with some friends named: The Las Vegas Paranormal Investigations of Mysterious Phenomena Squad (or P.I.M.P.S. for short).  Billy's fascination with the paranormal field grew stronger and soon after he met Zak Bagans. Zak & Billy became good friends and after sharing details of his most recent audio captures, Zak invited Billy to review some audio evidence for the show. After doing so, Billy was then employed to review all audio evidence for every episode.  Billy soon became very busy with the crew handling a multitude of tasks behind the camera as well as in front of it, from evidence review to gear preparation. Soon, Billy officially became an investigator on the show. He considers himself to be a "skeptical-believer" after having many personal experiences since joining the crew.  Aside from the TV shows that he has been apart of, Billy enjoys all aspects of cinematography, especially the use of his own personal drones for aerial photography. He has been credited in quite a few projects for this type of work.

About the Movie Section

Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).

Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).

At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.

Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)

While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:

  • I added "runners up" to Top 10 lists, treating them as ties where applicable and numbering them accordingly at the bottom of each list.
  • Regarding those polls wherein "franchise" movies were submitted as one project until BFI's policy changed to regard them separately, I treated them as ties and renumbered the affected lists accordingly (e.g. the Godfather films).

Regarding profile removals and data corrections:

  • If you would like your profile removed from this site, please contact the source of this data directly, TheMovieDB. My assumption is: once it's gone from their site, it should soon be gone from this site.
  • If you would like to correct movie data on this site, please contact the source of this data directly, TheMovieDB. My assumption is: once it's corrected on their site, it should soon be corrected on this site.
  • For additional corrections and profile removals, please e-mail The Open Movie Database (OMDb).

Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).

Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.

Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
