Orlando, Florida is being taken over by Zombies and freaks in an ultimate weekend of horrors on October 8-10th 2010.  It's a weekend of fun and screams and many surprises. From meeting the original Freddy from Nightmare on Elm Street to being strangled by Jason from Friday the 13th or being vamped by the real Elvira, so many things are happening there on that weekend that there is just no way  to do it all.  Meeting celebrities is only one of the horrific things that you can do inside those doors. A full list of the events is not available but here is an overview of things that lurk behind those convention doors.

It's 3074 A.D. A prison transport ship carrying some of the most dangerous criminals in the galaxy has crash landed on a remote planet. Only two survived the wreck — one accused of a terrorist bombing of a spaceship and the other a soldier ordered to ensure the accused prisoner stands trial for the crime. . . .

Tyler Mane, though best known as Michael Myers in the Rob Zombie flicks Halloween and Halloween II, is a man of many talents. He has appeared in such films as Joe Dirt (Bondi), X-Men (Sabertooth), The Scorpion King (Barbarian Chieftain), The Devil's Rejects (Rufus), Troy (Ajax), and How To Make A Monster (Hardcore). Mane has also appeared on television shows. He appeared as Dirk for one episode of Monk and surprisingly made an appearance on an episode of Party of Five as Mr. Mayhem. He co-starred in the HBO mini-series Hercules in 2005. Before becoming an actor he was a wrestler on the WCW Wrestling Circuit for over a decade(die hard fans may remember him as “Nitro”). Tyler has recently formed his own production company, Mane Entertainment LLC, which is to specialize in films of the horror thriller genre.

I was contacted by Shane Diablo (aka “Meatwhistle”) of the shock rock metal band DieMonsterDie and asked if I would like to do a review of their latest album, “Fall to Your Knees.” I’d never heard of them before so I took a look at their website and MySpace pages and saw the stage makeup and costumes and listened to the songs and was instantly thinking: “Hell Yeah!” I quickly replied and asked them to send the material over so I could check it out.

Man was I impressed. These guys are good. Not only are they talented musician who produce high quality tunes, but also they put on a bloody and shocking horror show to rival the best in the business. Their costumes are morbid, Gothic, sinister, and downright bloody and that was a plus right off the bat. I love the theatrics of shock rock. The music is the real meat for the grinder here though. If you’ve never heard of this band and you like metal and horror then you should head right over to their website and take a look and listen. You will be pleasantly surprised and horrified at the same time.
