Zombie Walk back from the dead in NJ

By

New Jersey's famed Asbury Park Zombie walk was thought dead at the Jersey Shore. Horror fans know zombies are hard to kill, and so is the Zombie Walk. There is a new King of the Zombies in New Jersey and his name is Johnny McGillion, owner of "Johnny Mac's Bar".

According the Asbury Park Sun , McGillion purchased the rights to the event from the previous organizer who made the announcement about the walk's demise.  There were talks of having it moved to other towns in the Garden State but McGillion wouldn't have it.
“A lot of communities would want the Zombie Walk in their town but we are looking to prevent that,” the Asbury Park Johnny Mac’s bar owner said. “We’re looking forward to taking it over and getting involved. It’s a tremendous asset to the City of Asbury Park.”
This is good news for NJ horror fans. Most likely there will be a big turnout of about 5000 people and plenty of professional level make-up effects. It really has become an NJ tradition and to have it back from the dead is truly poetic for zombie fans. The walk is scheduled for October 10, 2015 festivities at noon and walk at 4pm.

Better Late Than Never Review: All The Phantasm Movies

By
The Phantasm Series Shows Players Riding Out Their Passions I just recently watched all the Phantasm movies.  I watched the entire franchise in two days after not seeing any of the films since I was a kid. I know things are opening up and the weather is nice, but we're not quite out of the COVID-19 woods yet. Since that is the case I am still re-watching old horror flicks and catching ones I might have missed . The Phantasm series stretches to almost 40 years of horror, beginning in what I feel was the best time for horror films, the 80s. The first one, Phantasm (1979) came out when I was still wet behind the ears, barely a kid. I didn't even set eyes on it until the early 80s. All I could remember about the movie was "The Tall Man,' played by Angus Scrimm in all the films, those flying chrome-plated death spheres, and little dudes in cans.  Along with Scrimm, the film stars Michael Baldwin, Bill Thornberry, and Reggie Bannister. Baldwin plays Mike Pearson, who is the...

Brush Fire and How I Finished My First Novella

By
Brush Fire is the first of many stories that I hope to write. Photo by Patrick Fore on Unsplash Some years ago, in 2015 I attended the NJ Comic Expo . I was covering it for this site, to gain experience and get my feet wet covering events since it was something I knew I wanted to do for my freelance work. Writing is something I never thought I would get into, but I fell into it through my love for martial arts, reading, and film. It's why I made this site, so I can write about the things I love. By looking for things to write about, I found that my love for reading balances out with my love of writing. Usually, I do one, then the other but a lot of the writing I do is inspired by the work I do for combat sports. I don't want to be a one-trick pony. I want to evolve my writing and I'm always looking for ways to get better.  Some of my favorite stories in various mediums come from Stephen King . So, when I went looking for instruction on how he writes, I found his book ...
