I thought I'd bring some attention back to the "A Man of Great Importance..." episodes we shot three years back as a follow up to Space Zombies: 13 Months of Brain-Spinning Mayhem!, what with the recent 13 Horrifically Silly Days of Halloween blog series.

I will post each of the 13 episodes weekly for all you cult/B-movie/genre-comedy aficionados out there who are just like me...we love this crazy stuff, so let's celebrate it every chance we get!

One more bonus blog post! It's Dia De Los Muertos, Day of the Dead! One more chance to bring you a special guest, this time Christian Burgess, programmer at the Toronto After Dark Film Festival! You can watch my Facebook Live promo HERE.

There was also a film Christian couldn't remember--he was referring to the original Fright Night!

Here are some of the great movies we talked about (and almost talked about) in the above interview:

Well, I can't exactly interview Vincent Price, but I wanted to dedicate a post to him, as he's a BIG part of all that embodies these 13 Horrifically Silly Days of Halloween -- he was the classiest Master of Horror on the silver screen, and it's in large part due to the films he was a part of, the films he MADE, that I am the horror, horror-comedy and B-movie fan that I am. See my (our!) Facebook Live promo for this post HERE...

The Edgar Allan Poe cycle of films that Mr. Price starred in for director and producer Roger Corman are my most favourite films, and I recommend them ALL...

PART A of the 13th Day of my 13 Days of Halloween...which is Halloween Day and Eve itself!  Today, I offer you a short interview with Torontonian B-movie horror filmmaker Adam Thorn, who also reviews B-movies through Riot at the Movies. He has a couple review books on B and Bad movies, too: Riot at the Movies and The Big Bad Book of Bad Movies...(and don't forget to check out my Facebook Live promo for this post HERE)

Let's see the first bit of the interview on video, now, shall we?

I later interrogated Adam by the torture of email:

Regan: So first off, please tell me more about Personal Space Invader (1 & 2 — especially since you’re coming out with a Bluray with both films in one after Halloween). Also tell me more about your Puppet Master spoof movie, too, Moopet Pastor...

Adam: Both Personal Space Invader movies and Moopet Pastor were made off of a pun or silly joke made to friends who responded with "You should make a movie of that," and so I did. Not because the movie should be made just solely because I could.

Mistakes would happen and most of the script would be thrown out due to having a zero dollar budget or the skill level but often that helped create the comedy. Most of my humor writes itself. I won't ever claim it's all me. It is amazing what can be born right in front of your eyes when you have creative and funny friends to act and create with.

Aliens, Ghosts and little monsters are the things that I have always enjoyed watching and there for I need them in my movie, even when most of the movie is the human making low brow puns.

Regan: Where can people buy or see your films? I know Eyesore Cinema is one place!

Adam: So far all my movies are now available on YouTube under the Riot at the Movies page. For sometime I did have them available to download for a dollar charge and I do sell DVDs for those who want to hear my nonsense commentary tracks, but eventually I figured I'd just put them out there for free for everyone to enjoy.  People who are crazy enough to want an official DVD would have to contact me directly at this point or catch me at a random horror movie convention.

Mwah-ha-ha! It's the Day before Halloween, and Day 12 of my 13 Horrifically Silly Days of Halloween. Up for today, it's my guest Kelly Michael Stewart, Festival Director for the Blood in the Snow Film Festival! Watch my Facebook Live Promo for today's post HERE.

Apologies in advance for the sound quality - unfortunately our mic kept cutting in and out during the interviews. I did my best to include as much as I could, and I will also upload a transcript in the near future...

Just a few of the things that the Blood in the Snow Film Festival has to offer and that were discussed above:

Welcome back to the 2nd part of the Space Zombies 15th Anniversary Reunion, Day 11 of my 13 Horrifically Silly Days of Halloween blog series. Check out my Facebook Live promo for this post HERE!

A little more background on the feature film Space Zombies: 13 Months of Brain-Spinning Mayhem!:

Space Zombies: 13 Months of Brain-Spinning Mayhem! is a feature film shot on digital video that pays homage to B-Movies of the 50s, 60s and 70s – in particular the films of Edward D. Wood Jr.  Though unintentional, the idiosyncrasies and errors that go into these ‘terrible’ but endearing and highly enjoyable films have created a style and a cult following.  It was the filmmakers’ desire to delve deeper into this style through the making of a parody film that emulates B-Movies down to the last detail, but within a modern context, as if created today.  The result is a hilarious film study, both entertaining and enlightening.  There is a definite art to creating something ‘bad’, particularly if you are doing it on purpose!

Space Zombies: 13 Months of Brain-Spinning Mayhem! is the culmination of a trilogy of short films:  Space Zombies: Terror from the Sky!, Space Zombies II: Monsters Unleashed, Unabridged and Unplugged! and Space Zombies III: The Incredible Duel-Headed Cat Freak!  The feature aired on SPACE: The Imagination Station and Drive-In Classics in Canada between 2004 and 2007. The first episode appeared separately on SPACE, Drive-In Classics, and SCREAM between 2003 and 2006.

And now, let's rejoin some of the cast and crew as we reminisce about Space Zombies...

And here's an extra little treat - the Feline Interview video, one of the special features on the Space Zombies: 13 Months of Brain-Spinning Mayhem! DVD, along with short film, The Scary Bitch Project (check out the reunion for that short film HERE), Feline and English language tracks, Special FX video, outtakes and behind the scenes, and audio commentary.

AND DON'T FORGET TO CHECK OUT THE PREVIOUS HORRIFICALLY SILLY DAY OF HALLOWEEN, WHICH WAS PART 1 OF THIS REUNION, AS WELL AS THE 12TH DAY, IN WHICH I INTERVIEW KELLY MICHAEL STEWART, FESTIVAL DIRECTOR OF THE BLOOD IN THE SNOW FILM FESTIVAL...

IF YOU HAVEN'T CHECKED IT OUT YET, YOU REALLY SHOULD WATCH PAUL GRATTON FROM DAY 6 OF MY SERIES. HE RAN DRIVE-IN CLASSICS, WHICH HELPED INSPIRE AND ALSO AIRED SPACE ZOMBIES...

Welcome to Day 11 of my 13 Horrifically Silly Days of Halloween! I've got another special blog post for you - the reunion of some of the cast and crew of my feature B-movie parody, Space Zombies: 13 Months of Brain-Spinning Mayhem! (which I've been flogging in several of the previous blog posts, as well as the novelette which is based on the movie)...and HERE's the Facebook Live promo for this post...

For those of you unfamiliar with the film, here is the official synopsis:
Even the sanest and kindest of men goes mad.  But what is it that drives him to insanity?  What you are about to read is a description of the circumstances under which one man, Veterinarian Dr. Vic McNaughton, goes horribly, horribly, and irretrievably mad…is it the aliens seeking human brains for snacks?  Zombies seeking to switch their brains with the brains of cats?  Monster toad beasts? Starfish mutations?  Dr. Vic and his staff experience all of these adventures, but it is the Space Zombies’ experiments switching the thought essences of Dr. Vic’s wife Betsy with those of his beloved cat Ju-Jube that eventually push him over the edge.  His solution is obvious – his wife and darling pet must be combined, but first he must test his theories on some other unsuspecting humans and cats.  What results is a truly terrifying travesty – a duel-headed cat freak that defies his master and embarks on a frightening rampage.  It is only through this cataclysmic event, along with the prodding of Vic’s staff and his friends, including the very Space Zombies who helped him create the two-headed creature in the first place, that finally snaps Vic out of his maniacal trance, and he begins to see the light.  Only when things are put right again – when minds and bodies are matched, does Dr. Vic’s world simmer to a sane temperature again.

And now, the reunion interview, Part 1:

I've been looking forward to this day VERY MUCH! My 15th wedding anniversary isn't until actual Halloween, Thursday October 31st, but today we celebrate 15 years by participating in the Monster Dash race and costume party.

I am a Zombie Bride and with my Zombie Bridesmaids at my side (thank you, thank you, thank you Simone and Kimmie!), we will take this 5k and costume party by storm! Not to say that I will be racing very quickly...this dress is quite the meringue (if I may use the term from Four Weddings and a Funeral), so my speed will be "walk."

Here's some photos as I get make-up done by my most artistic mother:

...and here's some of the first costume pics, with my Zombie Bridesmaid, Kimmie (whom you may recognize from The Scary Bitch Project/Day 4 Reunion!)...

I'm going to try and get some video up soon of my husband's team's costume, TETRIS! They won second place in the costume contest! I was a finalist!

And here's some photos of the Tetris group, including my husband, Kevin!

AND DON'T FORGET TO CHECK OUT THE PREVIOUS HORRIFICALLY SILLY DAY OF HALLOWEEN, IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY, AS WELL AS THE 10TH DAY, IN WHICH I CELEBRATE THE 15th ANNIVERSARY OF SPACE ZOMBIES WITH SOME OF THE CAST AND CREW...15th for SPACE ZOMBIES, 15th FOR KEVIN AND I!
