YOU ONLY LIVE ONCE...MAYBE TWICE!
“THE DEAD”: Free FANGORIA screening in NYC
FANGORIA will host a free screening of the Ford Brothers’ Africa-set zombiefest THE DEAD, which opens in theaters throughout the U.S. next month. The special event, set for Thursday, October 13 at 10 p.m., will be held at New York City’s Cinema Village (22 East 12th Street, off University Place). The film’s co-writer/co-director, Howard J. Ford, will be attending the show for a Q&A, and you can also expect cool door prizes for everyone. See below for more details.
The Fango screening of THE DEAD will be a free show; to obtain tickets, send an e-mail to fangoscreening@gmail.com This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it
. You must list “THE DEAD” as your subject line. Offer is good for you and one guest. Plus tell us your full name and whether you want to be added to the FANGORIA newsletter list so we can inform you about future Fango screenings and events. Names will be checked at the door. Offer is first-come, first-served, and we will confirm your RSVP. Seating is not guaranteed, however. This advance preview is presented by Global Cinema Distribution; haunted-house attraction Blood Manor is co-sponsoring the night with FANGORIA.
With THE DEAD, Britain’s Ford brothers (Howard and Jonathan) deliver a stunningly unique location for their undead film: West Africa, where a zombie plague has ravaged the arid lands. When his escape plane crashes, an American mercenary (Brian Freeman) must evade hordes of the native flesheaters, eventually teaming with a local military man (Prince David Oseia) in search of his missing young son.
Reviewing the film, Matt Glasby of Totalfilm.com wrote, “THE DEAD has much to recommend it: head-splatting brutality, great cinematography and makeup, plus a racially charged subtext,” while John McEntee of Soundonsight praised, “What is most impressive about THE DEAD is its languid, acrid texture; it is a very atmospheric tale of the re-animated dead which hearkens back to the early days of Fulci and Romero.”
Also, Brian Harris of Wildsidecinema.com commented, “If Howard and Jonathan Ford’s goal was to make the zombie film to see and own this year, they’ve succeeded wildly because, in my opinion, this one is definitely worth seeing and owning.” We’ll give Fango’s Chris Alexander the last word on THE DEAD: “A haunting sun-scorched nightmare with some of the scariest zombies I’ve ever seen.”

Been Awhile, BUt I'm still Alive
Greetings Everyone, Well it's been awhile. As things go, life carries us all in different directions from time to time but you always find your way home sooner or later. Well, life ain't all fun and games, but right now, things are going good. I have restarted my writing on my book again, and as I learn more about about some of the ROle-playing games I have gotten into, I am seriously thinking about rying to create an actual Zombie Survival Role-playing game. But have not set any time…
