Terror Behind the Walls

Eastern State Penitentiary runs a great haunted house called "Terror Behind the Walls" in Philadelphia, PA. This year was my first time there but the crew of friends I went with were there last year as well. It was a great haunted house; the staff did an outstanding job on the setup and running it. I was plenty scared walking through the halls of the prison through all their setups and themed scenes.

They have people bussed in by the hundreds to see it. All the proceeds go towards the upkeep and maintenance of the actual prison. Check both out at:

Shark Fin Soup

Illegal fisherman are taking 70,000,000 shark fins per year killing that many sharks. This is decimating the entire shark population in the oceans which account for an entire ecosystem. If you're eating anywhere in the world and you see shark fin soup on the menu, please don't eat at that restaurant. If we don't buy it, they won't make it!

Classic

I enjoyed a classic Friday the 13th last night. Great creepyness!

Fangoria Weekend of Horrors!

Boone and I attended this year's Fangoria Weekend of Horrors in Secaucus, NJ on Saturday June 21. The last one I went to 4 years ago stuffed the movie stars in rooms where everyone would line up out the door and down the hall way to meet them and get autographs. This time you'd be wandering through the vendors' tables and suddenly one would be sitting right there! We saw Kristina Klebe and Ken Foree from Rob Zombie's Halloween, George A. Romero from every great Zombie film ever made, and the cast from the original Night of the Living Dead from 40 years ago.

The vendors where much lighter than the first convention I went to (about 1/5 of what they were) and I was looking forward to much more selection in horror paraphernalia. Other than that the show was great and I can't wait for next year's.
