Ok, every time I mention ANYTHING about John Cusack, I am quickly cut-off by a nearby voice blurting out, “John Cusack is soooo hot!’  No, it is not just Mylie blurting it out – it is any female who is within ear shot of me speaking his name.

So, ladies and men who feel this way – lets take a moment to get this out of the way because this post will be about ……. John Cusack.

This week John Cusack posted on his twitter account this information, “officiali- will play edgar allen poe in fall-a-film called the raven, send any poe- gold – my way as i begin this journey into the abyss”

This is where I blurt, “Edgar Allen Poe is SOOOOO Awesome!”  ( now we have something in common).

This story get even better because the director, James McTeigue – they guy who directed V for Vendetta and Ninja Assassin – will be directing The Raven (starring John Cusack).

The plot:

“There’s basically a serial killer loose in 1850′s Baltimore and he’s using Poe’s stories as his methodology, so then he leaves clues at each murder and says it’s up to Poe to find him before he kills (again).”

Five inmates escaped a police precinct in Agora, Lapasan in Cagayan de Oro City.

How did they escape?  They had a little help from Zombies. According to the news wire, A police officer was busy playing the video game “Plants vs. Zombies” and left the keys. The inmates had no trouble stealing them.

For those who don’t know about ‘Plants vs. Zombies’ – and don’t understand how a police officer could ignore his duties – just watch this trailer for the game.

Reports say that four of the prisoners have been recaptured but no word if the officer has been put on leave.  I guess that would be more of a reward for him because he would be able to play ‘Plants vs Zombies’ more.

POWER TO THE ZOMIBE!

A couple of days ago, I told you about the Werner Herzog film, My Son, My Son, What have ye Done?

Now you will have a chance to ask Werner Herzog any question you want!

On Monday, August 23, 2010 First Look Studios is hosting the first press day exclusively conducted within social media platforms with the acclaimed director, Werner Herzog, on behalf of his September 14, 2010 DVD release of MY SON, MY SON, WHAT HAVE YE DONE?

Herzog will respond in real-time to questions tweeted to the First Look Studios’ twitter account, with his responses posted on the First Look Studios’ Youtube channel.

All you have to do is tweet your question between the hours of 8:00 AM – 9:30 PM PST – hope to see you there because Zombie Popcorn will be there!

If you are not able to take part in this event but want to ask a question, feel free to email us or leave your question in the comment section below and we will ask for you.

The movie Get Low is out in theaters now and people should not let this movie slip through their fingers.

Get Low stars Robert Duvall,Sissy Spacek,Bill Murray, and a long list of other great actors.   A movie spun out of equal parts folk tale, fable and real-life legend about the mysterious, 1930s Tennessee hermit who famously threw his own rollicking funeral party… while he was still alive.

Remember the choose your own adventure books we used to read when we were kids?

Remember how much fun they were and how you tried to collect them all when the book fair came to your school?

Choose Your Own Adventure is a series of children’s gamebooks first published by Bantam Books from 1979-1998 and currently being re-published by Chooseco. Each story is written from a second-person point of view, with the reader assuming the role of the protagonist and making choices that determine the main character’s actions in response to the plot and its outcome.

Ok, now that I have taken you down memory lane what would you say if I say there is a Choose Your Own Adventure that involved zombies?  and what would you say if I told you it was not a book but a ‘movie’.

You would say AWESOME, where can I watch this?   – Right?

So here it is the Choose Your Own Adventure Zombie movie.

(more after the video.)

As you saw in the video  there is pizza company called, Hell Pizza.  Yes, this is a real pizza company and this is their commercial.  Their flagship store is headquartered in New Zealand and has locations in Ireland, Australia, UK  and apparently coming soon to Canada.

Don’t get your hopes up yet for the United States, I don’t see how a place like this would ever fly well in the states but if they ever arrive here – they will be my one and only pizza place.

What an interesting show we have lined up for you on this weeks Zombie Popcorn Radio.

We break things in this episode and talk about the following;

Zombie Popcorn’s Book Club just announced this weeks book and it is ‘The Graveyard Book‘ by Neil Gaiman.

This book is very interesting and if you like the story of Coraline you will love this story.  

Bod is an unusual boy who inhabits an unusual place-he’s the only living resident of a graveyard. Raised from infancy by the ghosts, werewolves, and other cemetery denizens, Bod has learned the antiquated customs of his guardians’ time as well as their timely ghostly teachings-like the ability to Fade. Can a boy raised by ghosts face the wonders and terrors of the worlds of both the living and the dead? And then there are things like ghouls that aren’t really one thing or the other. This chilling tale is Neil Gaiman’s first full-length novel for middle-grade readers since the internationally bestselling and universally acclaimed Coraline. Like Coraline, this book is sure to enchant and surprise young readers as well as Neil Gaiman’s legion of adult fans.

If you haven’t already, head over to the Zombie Popcorn Book Club and grab a copy of the book and in the meantime, check out this reading of the first chapter of the book by Neil Gaiman.

Sometimes we need to look at our history to be inspired to do the things that seem too hard to do but need to be done.  Today, we will take a look at the history of Ethel MacDonald.

Ethel MacDonald  was a Glasgow-based Scottish anarchist and activist and, in 1937, during the Spanish Civil War, a propagandist on Barcelona Loyalist radio.   A native of Motherwell, Scotland, Ethel MacDonald, one of nine children, left home at sixteen, joined the Independent Labour Party (ILP) and worked at various jobs. In 1931 she met Guy Aldred and, with him, became politically active in the Anti-Parliamentary Communist Federation (APCF). From then on, she was associated with Aldred and joined him in the June 1934 formation of the United Socialist Movement (USM).

In October 1936 MacDonald travelled to Barcelona with Guy Aldred’s partner, Jenny Patrick, to represent and show the support of the Scottish anarchist movement for the Republican (Loyalist) side in the Spanish Civil War. In January 1937 she began to transmit regular English-language reports on the war on Barcelona’s widely-heard Anarchist radio station run by the Confederacion Nacional del Trabajo (CNT) [National Workers Confederation]. In the crackdown following the events of May 1937 (Barcelona May Days)  she assisted the escape of anarchists wanted by the Communist secret police and smuggled into prison letters and food for fellow anarchists held by regional authorities. Through her activities in helping anarchists escape Spain, she became renowned in the British press as the “Scots Scarlet Pimpernel”. Between July and November 1937, she was a national figure in the newspapers, with daily reports and inquiries as to her whereabouts and activities. Eventually she herself was arrested by a faction of the Loyalist forces, but later released. She returned to Glasgow that November, following speaking engagements in France and Amsterdam.

There is a book and documentary out about Ethel MacDonald that everyone should read or at least watch the documentary.  So, to make it easy you can pick up the book here as well, as watch the entire documentary.

As the lost boys and girls of San Cazador prepare to party under the Blood Moon, an alpha vampire conspires to turn these unsuspecting ravers into an army of undead.

A couple weeks back, Paul recommended the book ‘Soulless‘ for his pick with the Zombie Popcorn Book Club.  If you haven’t checked it out yet, you should head over to the Zombie Popcorn Book Club and pick up a copy – you won’t be disappointed.

‘Soulless’ is the first book in the Parasol Protectorate Series. The series is best described as a comedies of manners set in Victorian London: full of vampires, dirigibles, and tea. They are either Jane Austen doing urban fantasy, or PG Wodehouse doing steampunk.

The ‘Soulless’ audiobook was named one of Audible‘s top 20 sleeper hits and ‘Changeless’ (the second book in the series) is a New York Times BESTSELLER.  The third book, ‘Blameless’ will hit the streets on September 1, 2010.

So, why am I telling you all of this?   Because Gail Carriger the wonderful author of these books will be on Zombie Popcorn Radio this Saturday,  July 31, 2010.

So in the meantime, everyone should pick up Gail’s books (at least one of them) and then join us this Saturday on Zombie Popcorn Radio. If you want to email or call in with questions you are welcome to join us.

New York Times Bestselling author Gail Carriger began writing in order to cope with being raised in obscurity by an expatriate Brit and an incurable curmudgeon. She escaped small town life and inadvertently acquired several degrees in Higher Learning. Ms. Carriger then traveled the historic cities of Europe, subsisting entirely on biscuits secreted in her handbag. She now resides in the Colonies, surrounded by fantastic shoes, where she insists on tea imported directly from London. She is fond of teeny tiny hats and tropical fruit. The Parasol Protectorate books are: Soulless (Oct. 2009), Changeless (March 2010),Blameless (Sept. 2010), Heartless(2011), and Timeless (2012). Soulless won the ALA’s Alex Award.

The movie Psycho directed by Alfred Hitchcock,  is one of the best horror films of all time. Not only did  it set the atmosphere of suspense and fear it burned the image of Anthony Perkins as Norman Bates into everyone’s mind. At the same time it  made everyone afraid to take a shower. Psycho is now considered one of Hitchcock’s best films.

But what do we know about the history of Psycho and Robert Bloch – the guy who wrote the book, Psycho that was later adapted into the movie.

Robert Bloch was born on April 5, 1917 and he was one of the youngest members of the H.P. Lovecraft Circle. Robert a contributor to pulp magazines such as Weird Tales in his early career, and was also a prolific screenwriter. He won a Hugo Award, which is an award given every year for the best science fiction or fantasy works and achievements. The Bram Stoker Award – which is a recognition presented by the Horror Writers Association (HWA) for “superior achievement” in horror writing and a long list of other awards and achievements.

Bloch based his book, Psycho on Ed Gein.   At the time of Gein’s arrest, Bloch was living 35 miles away from Plainfield in Weyauwega – Gein’s hometown and location for all his crimes.Robert Bloch was familiar with the Gein case because of being close to the locations, but not the specific details, Bloch began writing with “the notion that the man next door may be a monster unsuspected even in the gossip-ridden microcosm of small-town life.” Bloch was surprised years later when he “discovered how closely the imaginary character I’d created resembled the real Ed Gein both in overt act and apparent motivation.”

Robert Bloch also wrote two sequels to the Psycho story, Psycho II and Psycho House, but none of them are even related to the movie sequels.

The Robert Bloch novel, Psycho is a book that will grip you and shake you up from the inside-out – and I highly recommend it for everyone.

If you want pick up the hardcover or the audio book, head over to Zombie Popcorn’s Book Club and grab yourself a copy.

There is a new Spanish film that has a lot of people talking and has caught my attention.  That film is ‘Somos lo que hay’ aka ‘We are What We are’.    

The story line seems original and is set in modern times.  The way the story is told is what makes me want to see this film.

A middle-aged man dies in the street, leaving his widow and three children destitute. The devastated family is confronted not only with his loss but with a terrible challenge – how to survive. For they are cannibals. They have always existed on a diet of human flesh consumed in bloody ritual ceremonies… and the victims have always been provided by the father. Now that he is gone, who will hunt? Who will lead them? How will they slake their horrific hunger? The task falls to the eldest son, Alfredo, a teenage misfit who seems far from ready to accept the challenge… But without human meat the family will die.

Shocking, bloody and deeply moving, WE ARE WHAT WE ARE is a remarkable reinvention of the horror genre – a visceral and powerfully emotional portrait of a family bound by a terrible secret hunger and driven by monstrous appetites.

I am very excited to see the upcoming Korean film, ‘I Saw the Devil.  It is currently in Post-production and is said to be released early August.  The sad part about the release is that it is very unlikely that it will ever have an official release in the States – but I am keeping my fingers crossed.  

Here is what it is about…

“A hard-boiled thriller, I Saw The Devil stars Choi Min-sik (Oldboy) as a psychopathic serial killer up against Lee Byung-hun (G.I. Joe: The Resurrection Of The Cobra) as a special agent whose fiancée becomes one of his victims. Lee’s cool-headed and intelligent character in turn becomes a monster in order to avenge the killing.”

now here is the trailer…

I will keep you posted on release dates so stay tuned.

Back in April we told you about how Robert Rodriguez was working on a full featured film of the ‘fake’ trailer, Machete.  

Today, I am happy to let you know that the film will hit the streets on Sept. 3rd, 2010.

The cast is the same;

Danny Trejo , Steven Segal, Don Johnson, Cheech Marin, Robert DeNiro, Jeff Fahey and Michelle Rodriguez.

The story plot is the same;

The highly skilled Federale Machete is hired by some unsavory types to assassinate a senator. But just as he’s about to take the shot, he notices someone aiming at him and realizes he’s been set up. He barely survives the sniper’s bullet, and is soon out for revenge on his former employers, with the reluctant assistance of his old friend Cheech Marin, who has become a priest and taken a vow of nonviolence. If you hire him to take out the bad guys, make sure the bad guys aren’t you!

The new trailer- kick ass!

A jam packed episode of fun, movies, music and awkward moments of sexual tension between hosts…..

So join the Zombie Popcorn Radio crew as they take you on  read along adventures with two dudes.

This week’s episode includes;

Welcome to the  Zombie Popcorn’s Post from Prison Series.

Zombie Popcorn is opening its pages to the words of an individual who is sitting in prison.  We will get first hand experiences about life in prison.   They will talk about their likes, loves, dislikes and what is is like being in prison. Our first ‘Post from Prison‘ goes by the name, “Z0mbi3Kid“.  He would like to remain anonymous and he will post under that name.  This ensures that he can speak freely without the fear of being reprimanded.

You will be able respond to his writing in the comment section under each post.  I will then print out the post page and mail it to him for his response.

You can always find the other letters in the ‘Post from Prison’ archive.

• Letter 7

They have now transferred me to another unit. I am now at the Choice ***** Unit in ********, Texas.  It ain’t too bad here. It is a small (about 1,000 men) unit. It is real clean and they feed really good too. It’s rare that I can finish all the food they put on the tray.  The rec yard is good too -it has a long dirt jogging track and it also has basketball, volleyball, handball and weights.

They gave me a job on the hoe squad swinging an aggie all day or picking vegetables, but we only go to work about one or two times a week so I spend most of my time jogging or lifting weights. One bad thing about being at this unit  is that it is about 30 percent sex offenders.  For whatever reason they have so many of them here I have no idea.  A lot of these guys are in here for raping little kids and stuff.

Imagine sleeping a few feet from a grown man who you know is in prison for sodomizing children. It is a real test for ones patience and tolerance.  I am trying real hard to bite my tongue and do my time so I can come home.  Still waiting on my answer from parole.

Will write more later. – Till then

• letter 8

This is to address a certain portion of the inmate population.

We see and hear you. The big mouth. Loud, rude and vulgar. You don’t go to school and you don’t work.   There, in the front now before the television. We see you. We hear you — Repating what the television says, as if we could not read the captions or hear it ourselves. and it is difficult to hear with you nearby. We hear you and we see you, making more noises than everyone.  The self appointed expert on everything.  The sports expert.  The political expert. With your EA score  of 4.9! We see you, breaking in every line, for chow, laundry and commissary.  We hear you yelling of what is right is right, as you gossip and slander, and curse all around you. As you confront every staff member  until they are so tired of dealing with you that no one else can get the simplest request satisfied.

You, the big mouth, the big man. The professional inmate. Always with a cell packed with commissary yet you never seem to have a stamped envelope, pen or any coffee.  — We see you, hear you and know you. Everyone must do your time, forced to listen as you must be the center of attention. You interrupt all conversations, brush by anyone on your path to the front of the lines.  You slur out “excuse me’, but you don’t mean it.  We know you, hear you, see you, liar.

You always going to fight someone, intimidation being your life. You, the big mouth, the fighter who won’t fight. Could you be an insecure coward?

We heard of your businesses, your millions, your cars, planes, boats, mistresses, college degrees, your baby’s momma and more.

You the big mouth, the thief, the coward, the liar. You are part of prison life. You represent everything we detest. Some learn from the prison experience.  Determined never to repeat the mistakes. How we avoid you.  You, the pest, the parasite.  Since you cannot make it alone, you drag us down with you, making us aprt of your misery.

You, the bigh mouth. We see you, hear you always. Tell us agian about your God, your religion and how yours is alright, but no one elses beliefs are worthwhile.   The expert, the liar, the theif. Ogling every female staff member. You are making all suffer around you. Perhaps prisons were built for those like you. Society has no use for you either. You, the big mouth, the center of attention.  Tell us again how you do your own time, mind your own business. Tell us again about how right is right, what goes around comes around. As you steal from the serving lines, steal laundry, bleach, food and anything else.

I regret coming to prison.  Seeing and hearing you for all this time will defiantly by my deterrent for returning.  You routinely speak your hatred, ignorance and stupidity. It is you, we see, hear you, endure you. The big mouth – the big liar – the big phony -the big pest and big parasite.

June 18, 2010 Zombie Popcorn’s Book of the week;

Meat (Paul’s Pick)

“Meat” – a dystopian horror fable about the evils of factory farming and slaughter. Richard Shanti, a guilt-ridden slaughterhouse worker, has serious misgivings about his job. He’s known as the Ice Pick – the calmest, most efficient bolt-gunner in Abyrne’s history. Yet, in secret, he and his family are vegetarian. If the authorities find out, he’ll be tried and slaughtered for sacrilege along with the Chosen – Abyrne’s livestock. “Meat” is a tale of human depravity set in a grim post-cataclysmic England. Abyrne’s townsfolk need meat to survive. Their religion promotes flesh-eating, their economy depends on it. Abyrne’s ruling powers are the atheist Meat Baron, Rory Magnus, and the hyper-religious Parsons of the Welfare, headed by the Grand Bishop. The two factions despise each but cannot maintain control without cooperating.In the derelict quarter the heretical messiah, John Collins, is preaching a blasphemous new doctrine: Meat isn’t necessary for survival. The townsfolk are listening. The tale begins as Abyrne faces its greatest conflict – war between the Meat Baron and the Welfare. Meanwhile, the townsfolk are hungry. The townsfolk must be fed…

So, what are you waiting for lets feed the townsfolk…grab Meat today!

————————————————————————————————————————–

Every Saturday at 7-9pm Eastern on Zombie Popcorn Radio, we will announce a new book during the show. The audio books will offer a wide range of topics. Including, but not limited to, horror, art, music, and life. We also will take suggestions from you.

There is a game that was highlighted at E3 but didn’t get much press coverage – If it did, I didn’t see it.  The game is called Homefront.

“Homefront”, a first-person shooter that tells the story of a United States humbled by total economic collapse, then conquered by North Korea.  The story was written by John Milius. Yes, that name should ring a bell for any movie lover. He worked on Dirty Harry, Apocalypse Now, Conan,  Red Dawn and several others.   With the scriptwriter with such an amazing film background only adds to my excitement for this game.

The best way to describe this game is to show it to you so here it is….

now the game play..

and in 3D!

If you read Zombie Popcorn or listened to Zombie Popcorn Radio you know how obsessed I am about wanting to create sections of my house (the theater room)  and the Zombie Popcorn Radio studio into a dark, evil, haunted realm.   I just haven’t  made the time to do it yet. Sure, I could just throw up some old skulls, splatter blood around the room and drape some fake spider webs around but it just wouldn’t be the same as taking the time and putting your heart and soul into creating a classic and beautifully frightening environment.

The good news is I have found some people that can help create the most awesome haunted creations ever. They even  understand what it takes to create an atmosphere of horror – not just an environment.   They are known as the Loki’s Workshop. 

Check out what they can do for you.

Loki’s Workshop specializes in designing your Haunt from the ground up, including, but not limited to the following:

• Detailed Floor Plans and Maze Designs
• Facade Design
• Detailing and Custom Decor
• Complete Haunt Overhauls
• Haunted Houses, Walks, and Hayrides
• Themed Parties and Corporate Events
• Convention Displays
• Event Management
• Sets and Environments

Our talented aesthetics engineers can also provide smaller, more intimate services for those with smaller budgets. We can also create the following:

• Custom Props
• Masks, wounds and appliances
• Atmospheric Soundtracks
• Custom Pneumatics
• Training and Seminars

I am thinking sometime in the near future of taking Zombie Popcorn Radio on location and visiting the Loki’s Workshop – but until then you should visit the Loki’s Workshop and have them decorate your living room.

Welcome to the second letter in the Zombie Popcorn’s Post from Prison Series.

Zombie Popcorn is opening its pages to the words of an individual who is sitting in prison.  We will get first hand experiences about life in prison.   They will talk about their likes, loves, dislikes and what is is like being in prison. Our first ‘Post from Prison‘ goes by the name, “Z0mbi3Kid“.  He would like to remain anonymous and he will post under that name.  This ensures that he can speak freely without the fear of being reprimanded.

You will be able respond to his writing in the comment section under each post.  I will then print out the post page and mail it to him for his response.

You can always find the other letters in the ‘Post from Prison’ archive.

I am still here at the —- Unit. Every six months all of the Texas Department of Corrections (TDC) goes on lockdown for ‘Shakedown’.  That is where they stop all movements, stop all classes, close down the chow-halls and the inmates stay in their cells.  For the unfortunate ones who are on stuck on intake/transfer units, like I am are in dorm type rooms and don’t have cells so we are required to say in our bunks and can only get down to use the restroom.  We are now into this lockdown for eight (8) days and will probably go another week.

They haven’t changed our sheets yet and don’t know if they are going to.  When it is  time to eat they bring us “Johnny” sacks – which is just like a sack lunch. We get them three times a day.  All they have in the bags are a peanut-butter sandwich – NOT peanut-butter and Jelly, just peanut-butter – and a ham and cheese sandwich – dry.  It wasn’t bad at first but now I feel like my stomach is touching my back.

I’ve had a lot of time to get to know the guy that sleeps below me.  He is a 20 year old black kid who is in here for shooting his friend and killing him.  They gave him 12 years.  He is a really good kid. He is very respectful and he stays in the bible. He will probably have to do all of the 12 years because it is a murder charge. He took the 12 years on a plea bargain because he was scared to take it to trial because  he thought they would give him life. From the sound of his side of the story it sounds like it was self-defense. The prosecution must not have had much on him if they plea bargained 12 years on a murder case.

As for me everything is going alright besides by back hurting from being in this bunk for eight days.  I haven’t talked to my girl since I got to TDC.  I guess she is out there in the jungle still.  I don’t  really expect her to stay. She still out there drinking heavily and doing drugs with no signs of slowing down. So its really probably better that she just moves on.

I did get to see parole the other day. The parole officer seemed to think that they would send me to a treatment program and then send me home. But I won’t know for sure for about 6-8 more weeks when the parole board votes.  If they do send me to a program I’ll  probably be home in about a year. The other alternative is that they give me a year set off and review me again next year.  Until I find something out, I will be here trying to beat the heat.  Thanks for listening.
