Among the many activities that are going on during the whole weekend, they have a few pretty cool actors that will be on-hand to meet and greet their fans.

The indie horror thriller The Beacon is hitting ShowBiz 12 theater this weekend in Waxahachie, TX where it was filmed. To celebrate the release of the film, there will be a party on Saturday, November 14th at the After Hours Improv Theater (100 N. College Street, Waxahachie) from 1PM to 4PM. Details just say to "Stop by the old Rogers Hotel for the Beacon release party. Cast and Crew members will be on hand along with a prop display." I would imagine director Michael Stokes and and any of the cast or crew members from the DFW area will be in attendance. The Beacon was actually partially shot at the old Rogers Hotel, which now houses the After Hours Theater. For more info on the Release Party, go to the Facebook page.
While trying to get their lives back on track after the disappearance and presumed drowning of their four year old son, Bryn and Paul Shaw move to the charming old Beacon Apartments. Friendly neighbors and a kick start to Paul’s teaching career help smooth the transition. The only sore spot for Bryn is her argument with the building’s resident diva, Vanessa Carver, a beautiful, once-successful actress who still behaves as if she were a sought-after star.
Bryn begins seeing a mysterious little boy skulking around the building. She suspects he might be the child from the apartment down the hall and is shocked to discover that the boy actually died in a fall down the Beacon’s elevator shaft while trying to escape his abusive father.
Bryn channels the grief of her own loss into discovering the details of the boy’s death and his reason for haunting the Beacon. She hopes that freeing the boy will allow him to carry a message to her son. As her quest begins to consume her, she fails to notice how her marriage is beginning to fray. The beautiful Vanessa has set her sights on Paul.
Enlisting the help of an eccentric young professor who believes in the paranormal, Bryn comes up with a plan to save the boy’s spirit… only to discover there is another malevolent entity stalking the halls of the Beacon -- one that doesn’t want the boy set free.
The Beacon is directed by Michael Stokes and stars Teri Polo (Meet the Parents, The Hole), David Rees Snell (The Shield, The Unit), Michael Ironside (Terminator Salvation, Starship Troopers, Highlander II: The Quickening, Total Recall), and Elaine Hendrix.

Yes, yes ya’ll. Zombie films. The formula is very simple; an environmental catastrophe occurs in the opening sequence and for the next 90 minutes, the living are trying to avoid a zombie attack. It’s a rock-solid formula that’s extremely popular, but unfortunately most zombie flicks lack an inspired punch. However, every few years someone dares to inject some life into a mostly stale genre. Not necessarily groundbreaking; it just seems the filmmaker gives a sh!$. Those are the zombie films we love. Just because zombie films are brain dead, doesn’t mean they can’t have heart.
The Video Dead (1987)
The Video Dead starts off with a wacky premise and presses on a path that is hilarious and occasionally frightening. With tongue firmly planted in cheek, The Video Dead should probably be considered a horror-comedy. Normally, Horror Remix finds this sub-genre repulsive. In trying to be both, they accomplish neither. But this is no cartoon like you may find in the Evil Dead series. The comedy lies in the weirdness of the premise and the wacked-out situations the characters find themselves in.
The Video Dead walks the fine line between comedy and horror like no other. Why this film succeeds while others fall flat, I can’t say. The biggest mystery is why this classic is not on DVD.
FleshEater (1988)
FleshEater is about as straight forward as a zombie film can be. From beginning to end this is a zombie blood bath and nothing more. No cool twists. No undercurrent of social commentary. No irony. However, with the obvious budget constraints, this bright-eyed film truly goes for it. It steps on the gas, blows it out and never looks back.
FleshEater’s attempt to stick rigidly to the formula and play it simple somehow works. Maybe the entertainment lies in the casting of locals and goofy teenagers. Hey, this is classic 80s, plus it’s got a massive body count. There is no doubt that these guys put everything they had into this movie and you gotta love that.
Notable Actor: Bill Hinzman (Night of the Living Dead, the Majorettes) also writing and directing FleshEater!
So, bring your friends and GET THERE EARLY! This is a Friday show, so I’m hoping for packed theaters. And don’t forget, lots of fun extras, shorts and your puppet MCs, Cheesecake and Thunderclap. SO BAD… IT’S GOOD! and FREE!!!
How I've lived so close to this and never been is beyond me.

Star Wars: In Concert
at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, TX
October 23rd
Star Wars(TM): In Concert, a unique multi-media event featuring music from all six of John Williams' epic Star Wars scores, begins its worldwide arena tour on October 1, 2009 at Honda Center in Anaheim, California.
Narrated live by Anthony Daniels (the actor who portrayed C-3PO in all six films), the production features a full symphony orchestra and choir, accompanied by specially edited footage from the films displayed on a three-story-tall, high-definition LED super-screen -- one of the largest ever put on tour. The live music and film elements are synchronized in order to create a full multi-media, one-of-a-kind Star Wars experience.
"We've taken the key themes from the music and cut together all the images that fit with each theme, so you can really get a sense of how the music played into the images," said George Lucas, creator of the Star Wars Saga. "The whole soundtrack is a testament to John Williams' creativity and his extraordinary ability to enhance the emotional aspects of the films."
"Creating the music for the Star Wars films has been an exciting and wonderful experience for me, and I therefore have derived particular pleasure in assembling a compendium of themes from all of the films to be presented in Star Wars in Concert," said Williams. "The editors at Lucasfilm have created original film montages to accompany each of the musical selections, and in the process, I believe that a singular and unique Star Wars experience has been born."
"This event has been crafted to present Star Wars from many points of view; for the first time, the full dramatic sweep of Williams' iconic scores can be heard performed live in one evening," said Another Planet Touring Producer Spencer Churchill. "The show is a new way of experiencing the epic scope of the saga."
Accompanying the concert is an exclusive exhibit of Star Wars costumes, props, artifacts, production artwork and specially created behind-the-scenes videos from the Lucasfilm Archives. Many of these pieces are leaving Skywalker Ranch for the first time. The exhibit features many classic fan favorite artifacts, as well as several new and never-before-seen items, including:
-- Full costumes for Jedi Masters Kit Fisto and Plo Koon will be on
display.
-- For the first time ever, pages from John Williams' original
hand-written sheet music for Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace
will be exhibited for the public.
-- Also on display will be various never-before-seen props from the films,
including blasters and helmets from Coruscant, Tatooine and other iconic
Star Wars locations.
For more information, please visit www.StarWarsInConcert.com.
Star Wars: In Concert is produced by Another Planet Touring in association with Lucasfilm Ltd. Performances will be conducted by Dirk Brosse and the production is directed and designed by Steve Cohen.

Horror Remix Presents… RUSH
2 Hours of Sorority Slashers!
Wednesday, September 9th 10PM
3 TEXAS SHOWS! FREE!!!
Alamo Drafthouse
Austin (Lake Creek)
Alamo Drafthouse
Houston (West Oaks)
Studio Movie Grill
Addison, TX (North Dallas)
Featuring remixes of:
Killer Party (1986)
Killer Party never had a chance. While filming in the early 80s, the studio pulled the plug. A few years later they finished filming, supposedly cut out all the gore and released it in theaters. Around 1986, it was released on VHS, still cut. And that was that…what a cursed movie.
Notable Actor: Elaine Wilkes (Sixteen Candles)
Hell Night (1981)
This is a classy, big budget horror film. Really well filmed, beautiful sets and costumes. Nice, lush soundtrack too. Horror Remix disapproves of this. Thankfully, on the heels of Friday the 13th, the influence of the cheap-thrills-teen-slasher occasionally appears (which I believe was because of studio pressure - hey, “the man” was right)!
Notable Actor: Linda Blair (The Exorcist)
Notable Writer: Randy Feldman (Tango & Cash)
The House on Sorority Row (1983)
Just yesterday Horror Remix received the news that The House on Sorority Row was being remade. On top of that, the film drops Sept 11th, two days after this screening. For a couple of hours I started thinking about what film I would use to replace The House on Sorority Row. I just didn’t want anyone to think Horror Remix was associated with, or capitalizing on the remaking of this film. Frankly, I'm surprised this film is being remade. Oh well, I’m still going to screen the original. Maybe this will deter a handful of people from seeing the remake. If that happens, then I’ll be glad I stuck with it.
The House on Sorority Row is a really cool and clever film. Plus, sexy ladies, beautiful sets and lighting. It looks amazing. The only criticism is the pace. It’s really, really slow. That won’t be a problem on the remix. You may want to see the rest someday.
Notable Actor: Eileen Davidson (The Young and the Restless)
So, bring your friends and GET THERE EARLY! And don’t forget, lots of fun extras, shorts and your puppet MCs, Cheesecake and Thunderclap.
SO BAD… IT’S GOOD! and FREE!!!
