The undead sure know how to party.
I’ve just returned from Horror Realm, where I shared billing with John Amplas (Martin), Mike Christopher (Dawn of the Dead), and Kyra Schon (Night of the Living Dead). Also in attendance were Chris Rickert (Eljay’s Books), Tiffany Apan, and lots and lots of zombies.
Primarily a media convention, with a strong focus on the films of George A. Romero, the event drew a couple hundred enthusiastic fans, many of them decked out in their best living-dead regalia.
The 21st Century Scop performance centered on Voices: Tales of Horror (nominated for this year’s Bram Stoker Award). It drew a nice group of readers and fans. Chris Rickert did the introduction.
Here’s the playlist, a great way to revisit the show if you were there . . . or imagine you were if you weren’t. Click the links to access notes, samples, and highlights:
“Axle Rising” (Veins: Soundtrack)
“The Haunted Attic 1961” (Voices)
“Shooting Evil” (This Way to Egress)
“Something in the Darkness” (Veins: Soundtrack)
“Mrs. Halfbooger’s Basement” (Voices)
“Downhill Run” (Veins: Soundtrack)
“Monte” (Voices)
A question-and-answer session followed, then it was back to the signing table to hang out and talk to fans and make new friends, many of whom I hope to meet up with again when Horror Realm returns in September. I’m already planning to attend.
