There's No Place Like Home

            When Fangoria Comics closed its doors last year, several promising titles went the way of the dodo, or so it seemed. Several months ago, a new comic book publisher with a strikingly similar logo started hawking titles on Myspace, chief among them a movie tie-in for the much anticipated genre bender Death Walks the Streets. Soon, we began seeing familiar titles promoted by this new company, including BUMP and Strangeland: Seven Sins. The creator-owned properties left unfinished by the demise of Fangoria Comics had found a new home called The Scream Factory.

Wizard World Chicago

So, Press pass for WWC has been approved, and we should get some good coverage out of the event, though I won't be able to get there til afternoon on Friday... So far, Death Walks the Streets/Scream Factory is on my to do list, as well as the premiere of Batman: Gotham Knight. Any other suggestions, feel free to toss them my way!

Gonzo is God,

Night of the Living Dead Puppet Show

They’re Coming to Get You Barbara…
But Not Really.
By
Joel R Bolyard

            One of the most interesting things I had the pleasure of watching, at ICFLM, was the Night of the Living Dead Puppet Show. It was presented by The Angry Young Men; which is kind of funny, considering there are two women in the crew, but I digress. This was not your traditional puppet show, mind you. There was no little box or stage with hidden puppeteers. The puppets were on sticks and only head, arm and torso. The zombiteers were clearly visible, so you had to use a bit of imagination.

8 Films to Die For

So far so good at the AFTER DARK HORRORFEST. The folks at the theater we are going to have been great, and the audiences all really receptive. For those that don't know, we here at Dorkgasm are not exactly quiet film goers. Personally, I scream like a little girl when zombies are involved, and no film that lapses into dumbness is safe from lampooning... I blame Tom Servo and Croooooooow. There's one day left, but the last film of each night seems to get a lot of attention from us.

            Let me start out by saying that I really wanted to like this film. I really did. The two actresses who star in the picture, Elske McCain and Scarlet Salem, are very nice in person and not too bad on the eyes, either.

Review of Seed: a Film by Uwe Boll

Seed
A Film By Uwe Boll

“For Everything Which Arises Is Worth Destroying”
Frederich Nietzsche

            The above quote opens what could be one of the most disturbing movies I have seen in a long time. Uwe Boll’s Seed is an unflinching exercise in human cruelty. The movie begins with archival footage of humans being exceptionally cruel to a variety of animals that was provided by PETA, the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals.

Witches' Night

Witches’ Night
A film by Paul Traynor

            Witches’ Night begins with a ceremony conducted by what seem to be witches, going to show that the title was well thought out. A gentleman lies on a table, strapped down as he fights for his life. Witches caterwaul and dance around him, while one witch heats up a very special present.
