Award Ceremony Recap! Congratulations to all of our winners!

The 2007 Eerie Horror Film Festival Award Ceremony was a star studded affair honoring the best of the best of this year’s film, screenplay and video game selections.

Moderated by Eerie Horror Film Festival President Greg Ropp and Vice President Mark Steensland, the winners were announced by celebrity guests Dee Wallace Stone (”Cujo”, “The Howling”, “E.T.”), Tom Savini (”Grindhouse”, “From Dusk Till Dawn”), Seamus Davey-Fitzpatrick (”The Omen” 2006) and Joe Pilato (”Day of the Dead”).

Tom Savini, a living legend in the horror genre and Pennsylvania resident, was presented with a special award from the City of Erie as well - A Proclamation from the Mayor, recognizing his lifetime of achievements in film and special effects. Tom seemed truly stunned by the honor.

Directors Jason McCann and Jason Hull were inducted into the Eerie Horror Filmmakers Hall of Fame, which was created to honor and to draw attention to our regional filmmakers.

Dave and Melissa Bostaph were presented with our annual Evil Bunny Award (don’t ask) for their incredible job of managing the Festival this season.

Sincere thanks were also given to EHFF board members, staff and the dozens of volunteers for their time, dedication and tireless efforts to make this Festival what it is.

This season’s event far exceeded the expectations of the organizers with sold out shows and record breaking attendance. (Rough estimates of over 5,000 attendees).

Plans are already underway for the 2008 Eerie Horror Film Festival. Stay tuned for more details!

Gross Movie Reviews #103

Gross Movie Reviews #103
By Tim Gross

Welcome to the fallout of Wasteland!

Holy Shit… Zombies [HSZ]: rough cut (DVD) – Two words for you: ‘fake vagina’ … Any other time I would have left the review like that and moved on. But I have become a huge fan of Rick and company at DSK Productions and also since this is the official sequel to “Toxic Shock Zombies” I must tell you more. “Holy Shit” picks up with the president of ‘Zampons’ explaining the whole zombie plague caused by ‘Zampons’ was basically bullshit. After his whole intro of going into detail he demonstrates by putting a ‘Zampon’ in his ass, spits out blood, and then becomes a zombie. The film goes roaring downhill from there in a great way. Rick chooses again to cross every line that has never been crossed with such examples as: redneck hunters checking out a boil on one of their nutsacks, a male zombie eating his girlfriend out when she is on her period, and also a pregnant woman who is a zombie gets hit in the stomach with a sledgehammer (rubber sledgehammer) and she drops the kid and continues to try to eat flesh with the baby hanging off of her! If you are any fan of such films “Hot Justice” or “Toxic Shock Zombies”, “Holy Shit… Zombies” will not disappoint. Now remember it is a rough cut, missing music, needs some edits still, along with needing credits, but has lots of blood and guts, dick jokes, male on male touching, I give it 3 ½ stars as you need to go buy it at www.dsk-productions.com .

Dark Ride (DVD) – A throwback slasher film that seems to be heavily influence by Tobe Hooper’s “Funhouse” and stars Jamie Lynn Cigular and that red head kid from “The Sandlot”. Pretty descent gore effects and well-paced with an ending that just ends when you are waiting for about five more minutes of horror fun. I give it 3 stars.

Rock & Roll Eulogy (DVD) – Horror hosts ‘Tarr & Fether’ bring us a modern day educational film shot in black and white about how rock and roll is Satan’s work and how it is bad for you! Great film that takes you back to the grade school days when they showed those funny ass corny films on sex education, school, emergencies, etc. I give it 3 ½ stars and you can find at www.rockandrolleulogy.com .

The Curse of La Llorona (DVD) – A little girl witnesses the demise of her parents in a house that is supposedly possessed by a Mexican evil spirit. The girl becomes possessed when her relatives show up to take care of her. Sounded good at first but didn’t translate well into a low budget production. I give it 1 star and you can find at www.srscinema.com .

Kiss Daddy Goodbye (DVD) – A lost early 80s film just recently released by SRS Cinema that stars Marilyn Burns as a teacher to two home schooled children at a home in the mountains of a small coastal town. The problem is no one knows the horror they have unleashed when their father is killed by some bikers on their property. We eventually found out the kids have special unexplained powers and are very smart… They raise their dead father from the grave to kill anyone that crosses them. He drives them to the beach, home, anywhere they want to go. This is a cool classic film that reminds you of how cool horror movies were in the 80s, I give it 3 stars.

Splatter Movie: The Director’s Cut [rough cut] (DVD-R) – Mike Watt and Amy Lynn Best are back with their latest project which is a movie within a movie within a documentary movie sort of… It’s confusing and been done before but here we go… A disgruntled cast member takes it upon himself or herself to start killing cast members off left and right in a great gory and bloody fashion while the film is being shot. The location is one reason that makes this film appealing as Mike and Amy used the location “Hundred Acres Manor” a horror attraction in Pittsburgh, Pa., to its fullest. Second reason is the film also has appearances from independent film legend Debbie Rochon and “Evil Dead” FX artist Tom Sullivan in which Tom steals the movie and makes this film well worth watching through the confusion and keeping track of everything going on. Again the film is a rough cut and it is very easy to see where they still have to make edits, add music, and a few other things. Once the film is finished I have a feeling this could be one the best films for Happy Cloud Pictures too date! I give it 3 ½ stars and you can find more info on it at www.myspace.com/splattermovie .

The Period (DVD) – Let me just say this, “This has to be the weirdest DVD I have ever been given to review”. A girl has her period and it does not stop. She loses her lesbian girlfriend, she loses her art modeling job because of her period shooting on everyone, she lives on the street for awhile, gets picked up by an art agent to use her period blood for art, and she eventually finds herself bald, naked, and being worship by some ugly/fat/naked/white male/amazons! The film is possibly the trippiest borderline porn film I ever watched. Personally, I think the film runs a little long (100 minutes) but I know this film will find an audience out there whether its people who like art films or just old, bald, fat fuckers who just wanna jack off to it. I give it 2 ½ stars and it has lots of extras and you can find it at www.srscinema.com .

Curtains (DVD) – A long lost early 80s slasher that hasn’t been released on DVD in the U.S. and it stars John Vernon who is known for his legendary roles in “Animal House” and “Killer Klowns From Outer Space”. John Vernon plays a director who is hard to work with and has asked six actresses out to his home to audition for a legendary role! Of course the six actresses begin to die in bloody fashion one by one with a storyline that gives you a little twist at the end that makes you wanna pay attention throughout the slasher film. This classic slasher film deserves a U.S. release and is talked about a lot on Dead Pit Radio among other known horror websites and magazines. A must find for all slasher film fans as I give it 3 stars.

Any comments or questions please send to: LAN_EMAIL_SUBS or www.myspace.com/slasherfilmfan , plus you can also find my two horror movie review books, “Gross Movie Reviews Volume One and Two” for sale at www.lulu.com or www.amazon.com .

Cinema Wasteland 2007 Fall Show review

Cinema Wasteland 2007 Fall Show

Well I’m back! Got to hang out with quite a few Dead Pit board members (El Juan, Russ, Rick, darkpumpkin, the man wearing girls pants “must be there to understand”) and had a few beers and talked horror. But overall the show was very weird for a Cinema Wasteland show. First off, Chiller was running a show the same weekend which was very weird since some of the same vendors and people go to both but were forced by Chiller to pick one this time around. Did this cause the weirdness? Second, Cleveland Indians are in the playoffs and the convention is in the heartland of Cleveland Indian country. Did this cause the weirdness? Third, it was 87 degrees outside and sunny which for October is down right fucking crazy! Lots of factors to think about that made this show weird. But all the men who played Michael Myers showed up except for Brad Loree and William Forsythe, and Leslie Easterbrook were the guests along with the fun usuals who show up to one of the coolest conventions around. Business was a little slow book wise, and overall for all vendors there but that didn’t stop the fun partying going on there after hours whether it was me seeing nice bare breasts three times in one day or the horror geek drunken chat that took place in the hallway between several of us fellow vendors, guests, and people who attended the show. Overall, Cinema Wasteland was weird as hell but the spring show is shaping up to be a legendary show!

Main Room:
Daniel Mnookin - Techno + Tech House,
(Siteholder Records / Siteholder UnCut, Proton Radio)
Since catching the DJ bug, Daniel has gone on to play at every major club in Chicago. He has also played outside of his hometown in cities as isolated as Columbia, Missouri, to the glitz and glamour of Los Angeles and New York – not to mention his international debut in Mexico (where he has played cities such as Guadalajara and Mexico City) in the fall of 2003 as well as spinning in Aruba on New Year’s Eve 2004. He made his European debut that following spring, with gigs in Frankfurt, Germany and Paris, France. He has played alongside such top notch DJs as Adam Beyer, Danny Howells, DJ Garth, Green Velvet, John Tejada, Matthew Dear, and Sasha (just to name a few)…
Never one to rest on his laurels, Daniel has joined with Brian Ffar and world renowned techno producer Billy Dalessandro to form Siteholder Records (www.siteholder.net) – a Chicago based techno label. Since its inception, Siteholder has done extremely well, finding its releases in the record boxes of Adam Beyer, Laurent Garnier, Sven Vath, and thousands of others…
In terms of production, Daniel’s first record came out in 2004 and featured a track he did with longtime collaborator Brian Ffar entitled “Plinko”. The recording was included on the “Xactofunk EP” and released by U.K.-based Beat Code Records. Swag Records charted the release at #1. He released his first solo EP, entitled “Spotted Cow”, in 2007 on Siteholder UnCut. He also continues to release highly praised originals and remixes under the Slutbox alias (alongside Billy Dalessandro).
You can get more info by visiting www.siteholder.net or www.protonradio.com
Sam Gracie (ResonantVibes.com) and Ben Alan (Hushabye House) will be supporting Daniel in the main room with a tasty portion of house, tech house, and techno.
Extra sound will be provided in the main room. What good is techno without gut wrenching bass?

Patio:
Jason Clark (aka strange.loop) and Friends - Electronica, Downtempo + Techno
(SKL, Krack.org)
Jason Shelton - Techno + Minimal
(Natefx.com)
An electronic blend of many influences, Jason Clark aka strange.loop has been working with experimental and ambient music since 1993. His musical style nowadays ranges from beautiful, lush ambience to harsh dark experimental intelligent dance music. Before that, he played drums and was a singer with various punk rock, death metal and alternative bands. It’s hard to know what to expect from a strange.loop live show, because his influences are so diverse and contradictory.
The name strange.loop comes from a term in physics that refers to an intermingling of opposing forces. These opposing forces, the yin and yang, are what drive the music of strange.loop. Professionally, Jason is a creative director at a small agency in Louisville, Kentucky, which fits perfectly with his obsessions with sound and visual design.
Jason has become renowned in the past for his production of various electronic events, from small experimental themed events to full fledged music festivals. Most notably he’s been the man behind the Hellhouse Halloween Parties, a yearly Halloween party in Louisville, with a reputation that spreads from Chicago to Atlanta, and is renowned for delivering the Midwest a proper dose of techno once a year.
Sadly, there is no Hellhouse Party planned for this year, so we invited Jason to make the patio his own, and bring a little bit of Hellhouse to this event! Jason Shelton will lending a hand on the patio with his blend of techno and minimal grooves, along with other friends of SKL.
Bar Room:
