Multiple Showings of Colin in North America in September

So in the span of 2 days I was informed by 2 e-mails marking the North American premiere of the $75 hit Colin.

Interestingly enough I had seen this in a movie theater already. In North America. In Chicago on November 14th of last year at Zombie Outbreak sponsored by Horror Society. (Which if I recall was not the North American Premiere either.)

Regardless on the wrong information provided by both e-mails on the premiere portion they do provide important information for you – dates and times to see Colin on the big screen!

While the shaky cam may be annoying it’s a GREAT film and if you are in either of these two areas you should make a point to check it out! (Check out my Colin Review if you want to know more!)

In Chicago on July 24th? Zombie Disco 2

Why do I love living in Illinois? (I used to be able to directly say Chicago right there…) I love loving in this fun little state in the Midwest because we have such a huge horror community. There is always events of one form or another happening and also always a ton with a zombie theme to them.

We are back again this year with another bigger and better Zombie Disco! Yep that’s right, its time to shake your groove thang on the dance floor 70′s style!

We will have DJ Joe Wallace spinning some of your favorite disco hits, drink specials to get you in the mood, BEST DANCE MOVE CONTEST, BEST MAKEUP AND COSTUME CONTEST (both with CASH PRIZES!) and more! You can also get Zombiefied there as well.

Its going down at Lucky Number Grill in Chicago, IL on Saturday, July 24th starting at 9pm and going till you are done!

We are bringing back the favorite from last year, Zombie Twister, along with some new games (Pin the Limb on the Victim, Bobbing For Brains) and more, so get ready to get twisted!

Tell your friends, tell your family, and tell your enemies that you are going to shake that ass on Saturday July 24th.

Tickets are only $10 at the door – $8 online and with every ticket purchased, you will be entered in a raffle to win some great prizes!

21+ Event, so its only for grown ups!

On May 1st Alice Jacobs Is Dead To Screen In Chicago at Women Of Horror 2

I’ve mentioned Alice Jacobs Is Dead int he past quite a few times. It’s a great zombie film that I’m sure you will enjoy and if you are in Chicago and looking for something to do on May 1st I highly suggest attending to see it if nothing else. Honestly by attending you have a chance to help out a friend of Buy Zombie as well who is one of Chicago’s better known and more outgoing horror enthusiasts.

Dr. Ben Jacobs saved the world. The drug he created allowed mankind to fight back against the Z-virus, which nearly destroyed civilization entirely. Now, in the aftermath of the crisis, he’s trying to cure the last victims of the virus. But what will happen when he brings his mysterious work home?

So aside from a great little zombie film what else are you getting at Women Of Horror 2?

With each festival we try to bring a new and different theme into the movie theater, and once again it’s Lady’s Night!

Horror Society will feature films directed, produced, or written by women.

Saturday MAY 1st
5pm to 2am
Portage Theater
4050 N. Milwaukee Ave
Chicago, IL 60641

ONLY $12 for over 8 hours of BLOODY GOOD FUN! Online Tickets coming soon!!

Our goal for this festival is to show the female side of the horror genre in a way that most of the horror fans are not familiar with. Many studios and companies need to stay away from this point of view because it does not attract the audience they are looking for. To us that is a shame. There are so many female directors doing indie horror now without the recognition they need and deserve. This is our chance to show those women that are making these types of films.

KREEPYLADY KRISTIN SILENT AUCTION AND RAFFLE:

Last year we did a raffle for The Lynn Sage Foundation of Chicago. We ended up raising a lot of money for the organization, and we are planning something else for this one. This year we are doing a raffle and silent auction for our good friend Kreepylady Kristin. She recently came upon some real rough times, losing her job, massive amounts of surgery from a life threatening condition, and now racked up a HUGE amount of medical bills. Without her insurance, (the company she worked for over 9 years let her go), she is facing a huge uphill battle and struggling to pay off those bills. She has been through months of medical rehab and we are planning on helping her out! She has played a huge role in the Chicago Horror Community and with Horror Society as well, so we have gathered up some great items for the raffle and auction. All proceeds of this raffle and auction will be going directly to her medical bills.

You horror freaks are going to love some of the products we have for you to bid on, and this will be a great help to her and her family as well.

More info on Kristin here…. http://www.horrorsociety.com/PDF/benifit.pdf

Note for those in Chicago on the fence about attending: Kristin is a friend of Buy Zombie

and more on the way…..
