The Romance of Zombie Building

Need a unique Valentine’s Day gift?

Perhaps something on the creepy, slimy side of the romance meter?

Mom always said she preferred hand-made gifts to store-bought presents.

So here's your chance.

Why not give your boo-loved a ghoulish, hand-made Zombie Puppet in your own disfigured image to remember you by while you're out on the prowl for brains...

Better yet, why not give each other a Zombie Avatar?!

Well, your slurred prayers have been answered.

Matt Ficner presents a Creepy Puppet Project WORKSHOP!

BUILD-A-ZOMBIE!
Saturday February 13th 2010
At Matt’s home studio, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada

Join in the one-day workshop fun of making your own rod-style zombie puppet.

Participants will be given a puppet rod rigged skeleton base to build up gooey bits of flesh and stretch rubbery skin over. Eyeballs, teeth, tattered clothes and other rotten bits will also be provided!

$350 per participant
SPACES ARE LIMITED!

For detailed directions and bookings contact:
workshops@mfproductions.ca

KEEPING IT CREEPY!

The Paranormal Show at the Paper Mill Theatre

It's that time of year again. Time to shake off the new year's cobwebs and turn to face the long, dark nights and wonder, "What's out there?"

My close fiend Scott McClelland (Carnival Diablo) has just the thing to focus your other-worldly ponderings: The Paranormal Show is back!

As Scott puts it,


"The Paranormal Show is a Spectacular assortment of Supernatural experiments and a bizarre twist on Sideshow Feats that will make you question everything you thought you understood about REALITY.

Take a trip down the rabbit hole and into a world of the Supernatural, a world unlike your own. Witness experiments that will bend and warp reality, giving you a glimpse into a world where science has no place.

Loaded with audience participation and laughs galore, this show is a unique experience for everyone. Mind-boggling mysteries abound... you may have paid for an entire seat... but you'll just be using the edge of it during the Show!

Join Vladimir Eisengrimm as he attempts to contact the ghosts that haunt Todmorden Mills and unveils Edison's Machine to Talk to the Dead!

Don't miss this astounding show!"

Keep Your Eyes Peeled for AAAAAH!! Shorts on Tonight's "Crash & Burn"


Tonight's episode of "Crash & Burn" (10 pm EST on Showcase), entitled "Lawyers, Guns & Money", is special for so many reasons. This episode re-unites Enrico Colantoni ("Galaxy Quest", "Flashpoint", "Just Shoot Me") with his co-star from "ZOS - Zone of Separation", Michelle Nolden, as a couple with an extreme approach to marriage counseling.

Without giving away the episode, let's just say that Enrico's SWAT buddies from "Flashpoint" aren't far away. Nuff said.

The series' 8th episode also marks the broadcast licensing debut of not one -- but two -- of the short horror films from "AAAAAH!! Indie Horror Hits, Volume 1".

Eagle-eyed indie horror fans will catch glimpses of Christopher Alan Broadstone's "My Skin!" and Anthony Falcon's "The Ninth Entry" as part of a background montage on Enrico's editing console early in the episode.

If you like what you see and want more indie horror from indie filmmakers check out the collection at www.aaaaah-films.com - now on sale for $9.95.

If you miss tonight's airing check Showcase's show listings for re-broadcasts on Friday and Sunday evenings.

And, keep watching "Crash & Burn" because in episode 10 there's a cameo appearance by a certain 'Twisty Mustache Man' in the opening spot from Protected Insurance. Snidely Whiplash ain't got nothin' on me...
