Rest in Peace Asbury Park Zombie Walk

By
The Asbury Park Zombie Walk has broken records and become a recent NJ tradition in recent years. With shows like The Walking Dead making the zombie genre more popular, its infection every October grew larger and larger. All good things must come to an end, and New Jersey's greatest zombie event has finally met its demise.

It's no secret here that horror and Halloween have a home here on +The Blogboard Jungle , so when things like this happen it makes us sad. Jason Meehan, the founder of the walk left the following message on Facebook to explain why it has died:



My Dear Zombies,I am aghast as I sit here, trying to find the most gentle way to write these words to you... but there...

It's not like it was the only one in existence, but it was one of the biggest ones in New Jersey. October is a pretty good time in the Garden State and there are plenty of horror themes conventions and 5K runs going on. However, nothing will ever match the scale of the Asbury Park Zombie walk.

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.

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.

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 .
