Friday the 13th in Los Angeles

It is almost time for that special day that only horror lovers know how to celebrate,Friday the 13th! It is coming up this May, so I have come up with some fun ways to honor this day of superstitions, Jason Vorhees , and general creepy and horrorific things here in Southern California. 

1.  The Great Horror Movie Night is  doing an outdoor screening of Friday the 13th(naturally) at the old zoo in Griffith Park. The old zoo is a fun creepy spot known to be haunted ,so a horror movie on Friday the 13 th goes together like Jason and a machete ! Gates open at 6:30 and screening is at 7:45 with tickets at just $15.00. Pack a picnic and remember not to wonder off in the surrounding woods on your own and it should be a great night.🔪https://tenthirtyone.frontgatetickets.com/event/n39eh5tnqkrjfm7x

2. If you are looking for a night of no sleep with the man of your nightmares the head to the New Beverly Cinema for the Nightmare on Elm Street marathon . This May 13 they are screening 7 Nightmare on Elm Street movies on 35mm with fun old trailers as well! It all starts at 7:30pm so get ready for an all night slash fest. Tickets will sell fast and they go on sale this weekend so don’t miss out http://www.thenewbev.com/tickets/

3.If all this talk of going out and being around people makes you want to pick up your own machete then plan c is for you. Load up on pizza and have your own horror movie marathon in the comfort of your own home.  If you don’t happen to own way to many movies like myself , Netflix has some very good options for horror right now. 

No matter how you decide to celebrate this Friday the 13th make it a good one. If you have any other ideas or traditions let me know in the comments!

HORROR BLOCK 

I am a huge fan of horror and I have been since I was just a little girl. While some girls had rooms filled with princess and pink my room was filled with life size horror movie cut outs and movie posters. (Being a regular at the video store had it’s perks). So when I heard about this monthly subscription called Horror Block I had to jump on this. Every month a box arrives filled with horror themed goodies and it always includes a t-shirt which you tell them your size when you sign up so no worries about it not fitting. There are exsclusive items and mass market all mixed together and while some months may blow other months away I am never disappointed . Every month is like special gift filled with things I never even knew I wanted, but now can’t do without. So if you are a horror need like myself go to https://www.nerdblock.com/horror# and give it a try for only $19.99 a month.   

 
THIS WAS THE CONTENTS OF MY MARCH2016 HORROR BLOCK! So much zombie goodness!!

Carrie- The Killer Musical Experience

Horror,Stephen King, and Musical Theater three things that I love and I got to experience all these things in one fun filled evening. Carrie-The Killer Musical Experience is based on the Stephen King’s novel Carrie a story of a shy teenage girl who is tormented by the popular kids and her very religious mother. She comes to discover she has some special powers and after prom everyone will know what happens when things go too far.

To be very honest I was not expecting much from this show. I was able to get tickets on Goldstar and it seemed like a fun Halloween month activity. Also, it is at the Los Angeles Theater on Broadway in Downtown Los Angeles so the chance to go to this historic location is worth it to me.I have to say I was pleasantly surprised, this is an exciting , interesting, well done show. The character development in the songs give you something the movie version was missing. The actors in this production were strong and the voices powerful. The first act had me sucked in ,but I knew if they didn’t pull off the prom scene it would be failure in my book. They did it above and beyond what I thought they could do. The effects,the set ,the lighting design it all worked sepectaularly!

If you are in Los Angeles this October then you need to experience this prom for yourself! It is opening October 8th at the Los Angeles Theater and it will be playing for only 6 weeks so get your ticket to the prom now

Let’s Read Comics – NAILBITER vol.1

Comics are for everyone. The ever expanding world of comics is ful of so many genres that I’m sure if you look hard enough you will find something up your alley. I myself have been reading comics since I was a kid and I had a comic shop right next door to where I lived. It was a magical wonderful thing to walk out the front door to the building and fifty feet away was the newest issues of Archie or Wonder Woman. I was in third grade so my taste were tame. Fast forward to now and I still read Archie and Wonder Woman but my taste has expanded and I read all different kinds of comics.

NAILBITER is Horror/Mystery/Awesome  comic story  By Joshua  Wiilliamson and  Art by Mike Henderson. It is a story about a town in Oregon that for some mysterious reason is the birthplace to sixteen nasty serial killers.There is a FBI profiler who is investigating the town and he goes missing. Now Officer Nicholas Finch is in town looking for his missing friend. Finch has to work with locals including the notorious  Nailbiter ,who he has a past with ,if he is going to solve this mystery.

The title of this first volume is “THERE WILL BE BLOOD”, and they are not lying on that one. I was drawn in and hooked oby the first two pages where we meet the Nailbiter in full munching form.One of my favorite things in this book is when we get the stories on some of the 16 serial killers that hail from this town. they are not your run of the mill slice  and dice backstories. They have that dark  humor that I love in a horror comic. You get the feeling of a David Lynch movie, Criminal Minds, and Hannibal

You will find this bloody good time put out by IMAGE COMICS. If you are making your wondercon comic shopping list (like I am ) then you should give this one a try. The story is original and the art and color pallate   make you fall into the gritty world of Bukaroo,Oregon.
