It appears that Fat Burger, the most glorious place on Earth, has closed it’s doors at both locations here in Pittsburgh. They just packed up and left without a word. Didn’t the good times, didn’t the memories mean anything to them? Couldn’t they have given me one last night of ecstasy and left quietly in the morning before I woke up. I would have been ok with that. Fat Burger is gone. There are no such things as happy places anymore.

The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly of Fright Night Film Fest 2008
By Tim Gross
The Good
In my opinion and from where I was set up at, it seemed the turn out for the convention was even bigger than last year… Much bigger and unexpected as it has been rumored that many conventions this summer have reported low attendance? There was a line of people that filled the hotel lobby an hour before the show opened Friday evening and Saturday morning. The celebrity guests were pretty cool and plentiful as you had a Phantasm reunion that included Angus Scrimm, Friday the 13th Jasons and other various cast members from Part Three, cast members from the original Halloween, the awesome and very cool wrestlers Al Snow and Mick Foley, Jason Lively from “Night of the Creeps”, Tiffany Shepis who was the life of the party as usual, Danielle Harris, and many others that had the convention guest room jam packed all weekend. A lot of Dead Pit members showed up in force to not only support www.deadpit.com but got a sneak peek at the film documentary about the fantastic duo that went over like gang busters in the screening room that included lots of board members with a special guest “Slipcase” (Dead Pit fans know who I’m talking about). A special “Savage Streets” screening after the “Into the Pit” sneak peek that is sure to be talked about for many years to come in Louisville as the room was packed and a few or so people leave as the room became very rowdy and party like that it had a life of its own that was talked about by many who did not attend or hotel staff that I also chatted with! Also I cannot forget as many vendors won’t, Robert Elkins dressed head to toe in a much disfigured zombie costume to promote his latest project that was playing at the film fest and I turned it into “NWA Saturday Night” with me as Dusty Rhodes and Robert as Dirty ‘Dead’ Dick Murdock doing promos for our upcoming matches!
The Bad
There wasn’t a whole lot bad about the convention except two sticking points with the convention goers and vendors alike: A) $25 autographs or pictures for almost all the guests… There was a couple who charged only $10 or $15 but this was the hot topic among convention goers and vendors. Is this economy related, gas related, being a complete money gouging asshole related? This has not been answered and I’m sure this will not be answered anytime soon but it has already affected the way people go to horror conventions and not only spend their money but decide whether to seek out all the celebrities they want to meet or try and take a chance on the latest DVD from a independent filmmaker who is trying to make a name for himself. There is a line being crossed in the sand already by some horror fans including myself about paying these higher autograph prices. I think part of the problem is due too, some minor celebrities who think they are actually bigger than what they are instead of understanding “you do not want to cut off the hand that feeds you?” B) The celebrity room was very cramped and uncomfortable especially since it seemed the hotel did not believe in having the AC on during the day. I was sweating pounds off like a fucking pig and all I was doing at times was talking to horror fans and sitting. But for the most part there wasn’t a whole to complain about as most of it had to do with the amount charged for autographs and pictures…
The Ugly
Where do I start with this subject? There was plenty of ugly going on in Louisville, Kentucky. A) Lady horror fans who feel they can fit in size 8 clothes but in reality you are a size 20 or 22 please refrain from wearing corsets, cut off shirts, or skirts that reveal more that needs to be revealed like having no ass just fat hanging there for example as one girl took the prize early Saturday morning when I seen a girl who had a tramp stamp bulging out from under her corset like it was somebody trying to pop a zit! I swear it was changing color because of the blood flow being cut off (but cool effect). B) Horror guys, stop wearing sun glasses inside the convention the whole day, you look like a fucking asshole that we all make fun of to entertain ourselves during slow points of conventions! Plus, “TAKE A FUCKING BATH, YOU SMELLY, DIRTY, SIMPSON COMIC BOOK GUY LOOKING MOTHER FUCKERS”!!!! My god I was about to bust the fire hose two or three times before I puked all over my table! C) Half naked people playing in the hallways of the hotel at 3 in the morning, I don’t mind, you are entertaining but it’s usually annoying to most. D) The “Savage Streets” screening was good and ugly for various reasons as Rick of DSK-Productions and I not only chased off several people from a packed room but entertained the ones that stayed for a drunk-induced commentary that was like no other and will talked about for years among all who come to Fright Night Film Fest every year. As I ended the screening with me running to my hotel room puking in the bathroom for an hour, sleep, get up ready to go hang out again and then realize I have to shit the rest of guts out and then sleep again in the bathroom, eventually deciding I need to actually find my bed but found out Holiday Inn has one very comfortable bathroom. E) Jason Payne (Pain, however you spell it) and Robert Elkins stayed back before the screening to drink vodka and orange juice together for two hours and neither wants to talk about it?! F) It was ugly but fun but Rick and me meeting other Dead Pit members as “Creepy Bill” and Uncle Kentuckian”. G) What top the weekend, I only sold four books but was able to sell a 22 year old street hockey mask for more than I paid for it in 1986! Fuck, next time I’m looking in the back of my truck to sell shit than the books.
Overall, Ken the convention promoter put together another great convention that was not only bigger and better than last year’s but promises it will be again next year as he strives to put a show on that not only people in the Midwest area enjoy but other horror fans around the country will want to come to also. Fright Night Film Fest 2008 definitely gets the Tim Gross stamp of approval and a must see show for all horror fans!
Thank you Aaron and Wes again for helping me out and to Ken for having me as apart of a great convention as I had another great time in Louisville and thank you to all who stopped by the table and hung out and that includes the crowd of Dead Pit members!

Louisville Director Mark E. Poole to Speak at Fright Night Film Fest
Director Mark E. Poole, the creative force behind the award-winning zombie/comedy DEAD MOON RISING (DMR1) will be speaking at the 2008 Fright Night Film Fest in Louisville, KY on Sunday August 17, 2008 at 3:00 PM. He will share his experience with writing, shooting and editing DMR1, as well as securing nationwide distribution with his very first film. Within a month of its release, DMR1 was named Fangoria Magazine’s Video of the Month. In the article, Fangoria stated that, “All this is much cleverer than you expect, with Poole maintaining a perfect balance of humor & horror…witty, wild and wonderfully ingenious, DEAD MOON RISING takes home-grown filmmaking to outlandish heights.”
He will also speak about his latest project, DEAD MOON RISING 2 (DMR2), the episodic series. He is shooting this on HD cameras with another large & talented ensemble cast. Poole says, “There’s never been a more handsome group of zombie slayers, ever.” DMR2 will be shot in and around Louisville, Kentucky, but will be bigger, bolder, and dig deeper into each of the main character’s back stories.
Poole will show the never-before seen trailer and the first real episodes for DMR2 at Fright Night.
He will also detail everything it takes to be an independent filmmaker, and the 3 things he’ll NEVER do again.
One thing he will do is recreate another massive ZOMBIE crowd scene, which will be coupled with a Halloween Ball at City Block, Louisville. Poole plans to stage a life-sized helicopter crash at that event. “We’ll have people trying to escape, only to find they are surrounded by thousands of zombies. It’s every man for himself, and the zombies grab those trying to hold onto the skids. Mayhem ensues.” The event is limited to the first 3000 zombies to sign up.
More about the Zombie gathering here: http://www.anubisdigital.com/party.html
Poole will also announce the details of Anubis Digital Studios own Short Cuts Films contest.
Later that evening, Poole is honored to present the award for Best Zombie film for the 2008 Fright Night Film Fest awards show at the Kentucky Arts Center. This charity event will benefit the Make a Wish Foundation.
