I met Robert Logue and Robert Slendorn by attending some of the major horror conventions in the Tennessee and Kentucky area. In December of 2011 Robert Logue opened up Logue’s Black Raven Emporium in East Nashville, a store that carries vintage clothing, horror t shirts, books on just about every subject you can think of, DVDs and a wide variety of horror merchandise. One cool thing about the store is that in March they are going to open up the downstairs area which has been transfered into Cult Fiction Underground, a small movie theater that will show rare horror and exploitation films. I went to Nashville last week and talked to Robert and Bob about what is going to be going on at the store when everything gets into full swing. I am looking forward to seeing some cool films there. If you live in the Nashville area or if you are planning a trip to Nashville be sure to check out the store at the corner of Trinity Lane and Gallatin Road in East Nashville. I hope you enjoy my interviews with Robert and Bob.
Madison Lintz and Rodney Hall were guests at the Murfreesboro Anime And Comic Show several weeks ago. I was lucky enough to get to sit down and talk with both of them about the show and what they have planned for the future. Check out these two great interviews.
The very first horror convention I attended was the Full Moon Tattoo And Horror Convention held each year in Nashville, Tennessee. 2012 will be the shows 11th year and organizers Ben & Stacey Dixon have a lot of changes in store this year that will make it bigger and better than ever. They are in the process of expanding the tattooo shops that they have as well. I sit down and spoke with Ben about this years show and what else they have planned for this coming year. Join me down in The Basement and I talk to Ben Dixon.
The world of horror lost an icon this past weekend with the passing of Bill Hinzman. Bill was the very first zombie to be shown in George Romero’s ground breaking film Night Of The Living Dead. Known as “The Graveyard Zombie” Bill’s scene in the film set the pace for the rest of the movie.
Other films Bill appeared in were The Crazies, There’s Always Vanilla and Season Of The Witch. He also directed the film Flesh Eaters.
This months Babe From The Basement is the star of the internet series The Chainsaw Sally Show, April Burril. The Chainsaw Sally Show just now entered its second season and April along with husband Jimmyo have created one of horrors most oringial characters in recent memory. In the show Sally and her brother make mince meat out of anyone that looks at them the wrong way. And with the show being produced for the internet, Sally can get pretty serious with her dirty deeds. I would like to thank April for allowing me to use her pictures for February 2012′s Babe From The Basement.
One of Monsters From The Basement’s favorite TV Shows is The Walking Dead. One of the zombies on the show, Sonya Thompson is a very talented artist as well and did the artwork on these awesome shirts from the show. The show features Sonya, Larry Mainland and Addy Miller in their zombie make up. These are very awesome shirts and you can get one from Sonya Thompson’s website Professional Zombie. Here is a picture of the shirts and a link to the page where you can order one and other cool stuff!!!
This months Babe From The Basement is Jessica Cameron. Jessica was born in Canada, moved to Ohio and recently moved to LA to be closer to the film industry. Her film credits include The Dead Matter, Truth Or Dare IV and roles on Two Doors Down and The Funny Man. I was able to talk with Jessica on the phone last week and she told me about the films she has appeared in, who her favorite actress is and some of the films she will be appearing in this up coming year. She is a super nice lady and I really had a great time talking with her. Join me as I chat with Jessica Cameron!!!
A one-man play by film and television star Jeffrey Combs
Jeffrey Combs will be performing as the brilliant but tragic poet and storyteller Edgar Allan Poe in honor of the bicentennial of the author’s birth. He will recite Poe’s most famous poem The Raven as well as other selections including The Tell–tale Heart and Annabel Lee.
Director Stuart Gordon says “Nevermore is our attempt to recreate the public recitals that Edgar Allan Poe presented during the last few years of his much-too-short life.” The play, written by Dennis Paoli, is set in 1848, a year after the death of Poe’s wife Virginia, and a just year before his own death in October 1849.
Jeffrey Combs has appeared in over 75 stage productions during his career and starred in over 50 films, including the cult classic Re-Animator and The Frighteners. Combs television work includes three different recurring roles within Star Trek franchise.
