Monroeville, PA – August 20, 2010 - Monroeville Zombies, the zombie themed shop and attraction in the Monroeville Mall, will host a charity car wash with an unusual twist: ZOMBIES!  The event will bring back to the Monroeville Mall a horde of zombie re-enactors who do not want your brains, but rather your dirty cars.  The participants are volunteers who enjoy dressing as zombies and will do so to raise money for the Animal Rescue League of Western Pennsylvania by washing cars. 

The charity car wash will take place on August 28, 2010 from 10:00 AM to 6:00PM in the rear parking lot of the historic Monroeville Mall.  Participants coming to get their cars washed are also encouraged to dress as zombies to get a $2.00 discount off the $10.00 wash fee.  Zombies are always welcome at the Monroeville Mall, which served as the location of the 1978 zombie film, George A. Romero’s Dawn of the Dead.  Over the years the mall has become the gathering point for zombie fans with film location tours, zombie walks and even a permanent zombie attraction, Monroeville Zombies, inside its Time and Space retail store. 

“We’ve been recruiting and training a special team of zombies just for this worthy charity”,  says Time and Space / Monroeville Zombies President Kevin Kriess. “Zombies have always been animal friendly as they only crave human flesh.  Plus they are great at lunging at cars and learning repetitive tasks such as sponging and rinsing so we are confident they are the best creatures for the job.”

About Monroeville Zombies: Monroeville Zombies is a museum and tourist attraction celebrating Zombies in Pop-Culture. Located in the historic Monroeville Mall, location of the original film, George A. Romero’s Dawn of the Dead , the themed attraction takes fans through a visual history of zombies in cinema. Displays of props and memorabilia are woven into a presentation featuring interactive experiences and zombie gift shopping.  For more information, visit www.monroevillezombies.com.

About Animal Rescue League of Western Pennsylvania: The Animal Rescue League urges the public to visit the shelter’s main facility, located in Pittsburgh’s East End at the corner of Fifth and Hamilton Avenue. Each adoption that occurs also helps the shelter meet its goal of finding homes for more than 5,000 adoptable pets in 2010.  The League hopes to successfully complete its Drive for Five Campaign as it did in 2009.
The Hamilton Avenue facility operates 7 days a week for adoptions.  Pets in need of homes can be viewed 24 hours a day on the Adoptions Page at www.animalrescue.org   For members of the community wishing to assist the Animal Rescue League by means of adopting, fostering, volunteering, or donating can telephone 412-661-6452 or visit www.animalrescue.org for more details on the League’s many programs and services that help animals in need.

THE ANIMAL RESCUE LEAGUE OF WESTERN PA’s mission is to provide temporary shelter, food, medical attention, and comfort to all abandoned, neglected and injured animals brought to us by the community; to restore lost animals to their owners or seek new homes for them, and to educate the public about the humane care of animals with a goal of reducing overpopulation.  

Elvira’s Movie Macabre returns to television this fall

She’s baaaaack! The world’s sexiest, most outrageous and completely original movie hostess EVER is making her long-anticipated return to weekly television this fall, when Elvira’s Movie Macabre (tentative title) premieres on THIS! Television and in national syndication throughout the U.S. the weekend of September 25 (see local listings for station/day/time). The weekly two-hour movie block is distributed by Trifecta Entertainment & Media, and will air on television stations representing more than 80% of U.S. households.

When asked about her return to weekly television, Elvira said “All I can say is, IT’S ABOUT DAMN TIME!”

“Elvira will be every bit as relevant as the first day she burst onto the scene; a beautiful opinionated woman who always delivers just what her audience expects from her,”
said Hank Cohen, CEO/Partner, Trifecta Entertainment. “At Trifecta, we take pride in bringing proven and trusted brands to the syndicated marketplace; Elvira is a time-tested and wildly successful brand unto herself and her new show perfectly exemplifies our strategy.”

Who would have imagined back in 1981 that the hostess of a local Hollywood horror movie show would grow to become a household name? Elvira was the first horror host ever to be syndicated nationally, and the Mistress of the Dark has remained one of the most original and outrageous characters in popular culture today. This fall, she returns to national syndication with 26 horror movies, accompanied by her one-of-a-kind commentary. B-movie actors and directors beware, because nothing escapes the keen eye and sharp tongue of Elvira, Mistress of the Dark.

Elvira’s reign as ‘Queen of Halloween’ has now spanned nearly three decades and includes two feature films, an IMAX film, long-running syndicated television series and 2 motion control rides. She has appeared in National ad campaigns for Pepsi and Coors, recorded 5 music CDs, published 4 books and licensed over 400 products, including three pinball machines, BC Rich guitars, three comic book series, Elvira’s ‘Night Brew’ beer, ‘Evil’ perfume and the best selling female Halloween costume of all time.

Elvira’s Movie Macabre is a 34D Production and is written and produced by Cassandra Peterson and Ted Biaselli. The series’ Executive Producer is Anita First. Elvira is played by actress-writer Cassandra Peterson.

Keep Spreading the Sickness!!!

Open Letter to all on the fence about Horror Realm…

Die hard horror movie fans it is six weeks out and once again it is time for me to make my case as to why you should come to the Horror Realm convention in Pittsburgh, Pa.

Horror Realm’s first year went very well last September. I had a great time plus everyone else did also. But here’s the thing these days there is way too many conventions to pick from? Some who are just out for your money and others who actually try their best to give you the horror fans what you want? Horror Realm falls in the latter where yes, Horror Realm is a small convention but is growing… Horror Realm is a convention run by horror movie fans who want to give you a horror convention that isn’t the same as others around the country. Yeah, you can debate if Horrorfind, Texas Frightmare, Fright Night Film Fest is better? But I’m here to tell all in the Pittsburgh area and surrounding states where lots of other horror convention goers live, Horror Realm is not about ego, it’s about putting on the best fucking horror movie convention to the best of their ability!!!

Again, yes, Horror Realm might not have the money to place ads in high profile horror mags like a Fango convention or the money to bring in say a Robert Englund for example, but the name of Horror Realm is getting around to different celebrities that the convention is not only a fan friendly but celebrity friendly convention. Now with help from horror genre star Ken Foree, Horror Realm continues to grow (Horror Realm is already scheduled in September 2011).

Horror Realm is trying to make their place in the horror community to where it’s a very talked about event not only in the Pittsburgh area but throughout the world by doing their best to put together a horror convention run by horror movie fans that people cannot wait to attend again. This year they hit the jackpot: Basket Case reunion! You are not going to see this reunion at any other horror movie convention scheduled for the rest of this year? Come on how often does this chance come along to meet these fine people? Not often…

Yes, there is other options convention wise out there. But I invite you to come to Horror Realm and tell me ‘you didn’t have a good time’? Horror Realm kicks ass in my opinion! They try to do everything right, they bend over backwards to please every attendee there. Not many conventions do that these days… And hey vendors you tired of going to the big name conventions and making shit all weekend? Horror Realm might not pull in 5,000 people as some claim but at least the people that do come to the Horror Realm convention come to support the vendors unlike some of the bigger conventions where you get lost in the shuffle or just fucked over because of where they placed you or you are not considered as important as the celebrities? Vendors you are important part of a horror convention, Horror Realm could always use a couple more vendors as they treat everyone the same whether you are a vendor, guest, or just some drunk that wants to get Tiffany Shepis’ autograph?

I’m telling you all this because I want you to come… I fucking double dare your ass to attend. I don’t want to hear you can’t because you are going to seven other conventions yet this year? Fuck you; honestly you can’t make one more? Or I’m a vendor and I don’t wanna take a chance? Honestly dude or dudette you have to take a chance at some point in your business to make money or you wouldn’t be in the business… Or I don’t have money because I’m an Indy filmmaker and cannot buy a table or attend… Bullshit, if you are serious about your film and actually trying to make more, come to Horror Realm you won’t be disappointed. Believe me I know a lot of independent horror filmmakers and they have come up with some unbelievable ideas to be able to attend, buy a table, or just get their movie to the convention… Honestly horror movie fans maybe its just you are looking for an excuse not to come and if so maybe Horror Realm is not for you? Hey, believe me I try my ass of to go to other conventions and sometimes yeah you cannot and that’s fine but hey don’t make this the convention you miss? You could miss me getting thrown out of the hotel for various reasons? You could miss that chance meeting with a Ken Foree or Tiffany Shepis or Debbie Rochon in the hallway or bar where yinz bullshit for an hour. I dare you to check this awesome horror movie convention out. I’m not going to go all insane and say fuck you for not supporting it, and spend hours on some random podcast or message board talking about you. I just want you to take the chance to come to the Horror Realm convention the weekend of September 17^th-19^th, 2010 and see what a small but growing horror convention is like and how much fun it can be?

Hope to see you all there,

Tim Gross
