In 2000, McElhinney' sophomore feature was released. It was an 1807 period thriller A Chronicle of Corpses starring soap opera diva Marj Dusay. Jeremiah Kipp of Filmcritic.com gave A Chronicle of Corpses four stars and remarked: "What's most impressive about McElhinney's highbrow period film is its ability to satisfy snobbish cultural aesthetes while simultaneously fulfilling slasher film conventions. . . . Think of it as a caveat to those who secretly wished that Jack Nicholson (in wild-eyed mode from The Shining) had wandered into The Remains of the Day wielding a mallet. [A Chronicle of Corpses is] the art film from hell."

In 1995, McElhinney made a silent musical entitled A Maggot Tango. It won Best Short at the Chestnut Hill Film Festival.

In 1994, while in high school, he formed "ARMcinema25.com", a company devoted to producing movies.
