Party Like Pirates

At Fantasm Horror, Paranormal and Burlesque Convention in Orlando, I met up with actor Hal Havins for a quick chat, before beelining over to the Paranormal Existence Research Society, P.E.R.S..  With many knowing that I have had an interest in the paranormal for some time, doing a few ghost hunts of my own over the years across the globe, I had to quiz up P.E.R.S. with a few of my own observations to see what they thought about it.  The video below shows both conversations, which are pretty interesting I'd say. En la Convención de Fantasía de Terror, Paranormal y Burlesque en Orlando, me reuní con el actor Hal Havins para una charla rápida, antes de dirigirme directamente a la Sociedad de Investigación de la Existencia Paranormal, P.E.R.S..  Como muchos saben que he tenido interés en lo paranormal durante algún tiempo, haciendo algunas cacerías de fantasmas por mi cuenta a lo largo de los años en todo el mundo, tuve que interrogar a P.E.R.S. con algunas de mis propias observaciones

Meandering around Fantasm Horror, Paranormal and Burlesque Convention in Orlando, FL, I cornered a few horror icons, chatting about whatever came to mind at the time.  With a whole line of celebrities making appearances at the convention, there were plenty to choose from, some busier than others.  Choosing who to talk to depended on who was available at the time, as some were simply gone from booths, leaving others the chance to shine and tell me about what makes them known as a star. Deambulando por Fantasm Horror, Paranormal y Burlesque Convention en Orlando, FL, arrinconé a algunos íconos del terror, charlando sobre lo que se me ocurría en ese momento.  Con toda una fila de celebridades haciendo apariciones en la convención, había mucho para elegir, algunos más ocupados que otros.  Elegir con quién hablar dependía de quién estuviera disponible en ese momento, ya que algunos simplemente se habían ido de las cabinas, dejando a otros la oportunidad de brillar y contarme lo que los hace

Halloween is definitely the time of year to take a stroll through a cemetery.  There's something about giving ourselves the creeps this time of year that makes it fun.  As the weather starts to chill, we strive to thrill with jump scares, fog machines, werewolves, witches, fortune tellers and so much more. Halloween es sin duda la época del año para dar un paseo por un cementerio.  Hay algo en darnos escalofríos en esta época del año que lo hace divertido.  A medida que el clima comienza a enfriarse, nos esforzamos por emocionarnos con sustos, máquinas de niebla, hombres lobo, brujas, adivinos y mucho más. As Englewood, FL, might not have a huge selection of haunted houses, some locals decided to make their own haunted trail at home.  Located at 12054 Helicon Ave, Port Charlotte, FL, the creators are only asking for a donation to the coffin out front, and in exchange, they are handing out Halloween candy to visitors.  You can tell that a lot of time, money and effort went into this

An independently run haunted house pop-up is back this year after Hurricane Ian ripped away plenty of their decorations last year.  The event almost did not take place, not for the hurricane incident, but because of the county code enforcement stepping in.  Seems that some of the Halloween displays were higher than the county allowed, which caused a small battle over what was not to be a permanent structure, and though there may have been some temporary drama, the Halloween extravaganza is back again this year. Una casa embrujada emergente administrada de forma independiente está de regreso este año después de que el huracán Ian se llevara muchas de sus decoraciones el año pasado.  El evento estuvo a punto de no llevarse a cabo, no por el incidente del huracán, sino debido a la intervención de las fuerzas del orden del condado.  Parece que algunas de las exhibiciones de Halloween fueron más altas de lo que el condado permitió, lo que causó una pequeña batalla sobre lo que no iba a ser

As soon as I walked in, I beelined to Logan Mader on stage.  Of all the bands he is credited with, such as Soulfly, Machine Head, Five Finger Death Punch, Cavalera, Once Human and Gojira, amongst others), nobody ever seems to mention his working with Whitfield Crane of Ugly Kid Joe in a small project called Medication, which is where I first met him, when they were touring for the Prince Valium record.  Those two taught me a card game that members of Pantera had taught to them, a bad way to spend the mortgage. Tan pronto como entré, me dirigí directamente a Logan Mader en el escenario. De todas las bandas en las que se le atribuye, como Soulfly, Machine Head, Five Finger Death Punch, Cavalera, Once Human y Gojira, entre otras), nadie parece mencionar su colaboración con Whitfield Crane de Ugly Kid Joe en un pequeño proyecto. llamado Medication, que fue donde lo conocí por primera vez, cuando estaban de gira para el disco Prince Valium. Esos dos me enseñaron un juego de cartas que les h

"Spark It Up," the second alternative shortened version of the award-winning documentary "Blow It Up" has been released for comparison to the first short version titled "Fire It Up."  The first shortened version of the documentary featured additional footage from the 50th Anniversary of the University of Michigan Hash Bash; whereas, this second version features additional musical clips not featured on the first version.  All three versions of "Blow It Up," "Fire It Up," and "Spark It Up" were named for the involvement of pyrotechnic work, as well as the destruction from Hurricane Ian in SW Florida. "Spark It Up", la segunda versión abreviada alternativa del galardonado documental "Blow It Up", ha sido lanzada para compararla con la primera versión corta titulada "Fire It Up". La primera versión abreviada del documental incluyó imágenes adicionales del 50 aniversario del Hash Bash de la Universidad

At the Fantasm Horror, Paranormal and Burlesque Convention in Orlando, some food porn caught my attention, as well as another author.  Adalia's Alchemy cooked up some amazing cookies that we had to talk about, as she has some original flavors that will make your mouth start watering just by description.  Bringing some of the Cajun charm to the kitchen, you can't help but want to grab a handful and chow. En la Convención Fantasm Horror, Paranormal y Burlesque en Orlando, algo de porno de comida me llamó la atención, así como otro autor.  Adalia's Alchemy preparó unas galletas increíbles de las que tuvimos que hablar, ya que tiene algunos sabores originales que harán que se te empiece a hacer agua la boca con solo describir.  Trayendo algo del encanto cajún a la cocina, no puedes evitar querer agarrar un puñado y comer. While I quizzed up Adalia's Alchemy on the latest creations, I noticed a quiet author standing next door.  Robbie Dorman, author of 14 books, shares a lit

When you're ready to experience haunted houses and get scared in some spooky settings, Howl-O-Scream at Busch Gardens offers up some fun for the family.  Having more than a few haunted houses and scare zones available to send shivers up the spine, that hardest part is debating whether to go to a haunted house or hop on a roller coaster that will send g-forces in loops in your stomach.  Either way, it's a blast. Cuando esté listo para experimentar casas embrujadas y asustarse en algunos entornos espeluznantes, Howl-O-Scream en Busch Gardens ofrece algo de diversión para la familia.  Teniendo más de unas pocas casas embrujadas y zonas de miedo disponibles para enviar escalofríos por la columna vertebral, esa parte más difícil es debatir si ir a una casa embrujada o subirse a una montaña rusa que enviará fuerzas g en bucles en su estómago.  De cualquier manera, es una maravilla. Getting into haunted houses by working the very first Hallo-Weekends at Cedar Point, working behind the

After winning awards for women empowerment and best women's film for her documentary "Blow It Up," author and director Marisa L. Williams shares one of the alternative shorter versions of the documentary, called "Fire It Up," with scenes that did not make the cut in the full-length version.  "Fire It Up" features more music and documentary of the 50th Anniversary of the University of Michigan's Hash Bash, which is not featured in "Blow It Up."  In this version, music of street performers is featured.
