Horror Fuel Invades Days Of The Dead Atlanta 2017

I spent this past weekend (Feb 3- 5) at the Days of the Dead convention in Atlanta. This is the second DOTD I have attended in the past few years and once again, it did not disappoint. First, I would like to tell you about my favorite part of the convention. No, it’s not the parties, or the other events, it is the people. To say that horror fans are the best would be an understatement. You will not find a friendlier group of people. Stand by a booth, in a line, by an elevator, or outside smoking and in with seconds there is a conversation happening. It is nothing to be asked “How far did you traveled?”, “Are you having fun?”, “Did you see….?”. As for the celebs, every single celebrity I talked to was pleasant. Some were as excited about the convention as I was. No joke, Derek Mears, who has played Jason, the Predator, and more, was

Festival Director Briony Kidd expressed just how relevant of such a festival is in this day and age, when she said, “Events like this are needed more than ever, with women’s rights under threat around the world.

On January 22nd of 2017, the indie horror film Lake Alice will have it’s World Premiere at The Indie Lounge in Park City, UT.

Did Arizona Man Capture An Image Of A Demon? (See Photos)

A photo of a dark figure that appears to have wings has gone viral on Facebook. The image, captured and shared by Richard Christianson, a former music producer from Phoenix, Arizona, seems to be of a demon wearing a crown. At least that is what it looks like. The photo, shared on January 1st at 8:11 pm, is a bit blurry and was taken from a distance, but does indeed resemble a demon or an angel. Since being posted the images have been shared over 53, 000 times. Is the photo real? Is it a demon? Those are questions we can not answer. That is for you to decide, but you have to admit it’s pretty creepy.

Suspension of Disbelief in Film Dysmorphia

Suspension of Disbelief? Sit through this annoying video up until the 5:00 mark. The fan boy “host” in the above video talks in attention deficit tweets. The video uses jump cut “hip” editing to spill out unabashed respect and love for the CGI technique that brought Peter Cushing back from the grave in “Rogue One.” He spends the first five minutes elaborating on the incredible work and effort it took create this digital feat. The “host” proclaims, “I think they pulled it off.” Then, being a true “fan” he takes a swipe at all of the work done by Industrial Light and Magic, effects artist, John Knoll and director Gareth Edwards. “Now Tarkin didn’t look a hundred percent authentic,” the “host” whines, “especially the movement of his mouth, but…he looked better than any other time this has been used.” What movies has this guy made? What has happened to film audiences? In the never ending quest for “realism” in special
