Halloween Haunted House

I didn’t get to post as much as I wanted to this past (2013) Halloween because I spent every extra minute and lots of other hours work at a Haunted House that did a review on last year. The part I played was “Leatherface” from the “Texas Chainsaw Massacre” franchise. It had been something that I had always wanted to do. The first half of the season was the hardest because it was still hot. I was not use to the weight of the chainsaw and having to crank it up every 5 minutes for 5 hours a night. It was extremely hot due to it always hot in SC. But I lived. Right now with it being at the end of the year, I am planning on a redesign of the “Texas” house in order for it to have a different layout and different “scream” areas. It will be much more gorier than ever before. I love horror movies and I love to create areas that make you scared before the scare happens. It’s all about the buildup before the big scare. I will post updates here as well as Lego creations. I will post pictures of the process while we are working it. I have tons of ideas and sketches that I need to upload. The tear down of the old will start in Febuary. Thats is not soon enough for me by I don't own the place. So I wait and design.

Z Day live game play

The following is from a kickstarter like site called pozible that is requesting money to start a zombie war zone.

Z DAY to view videos and to give money. We also need to have this done over here in the US. To me it looks like a great idea.

Z DAY CONCEPT & GAMEPLAY


Z DAY is a Live Action Role Playing Event that will be held in Sydney in 2013. If you've played video games like ‘Left 4 Dead’ and ‘DAYZ’, been addicted to TV Shows like ‘The Walking Dead’ and can't wait to see movies like ‘World War Z’ then you are going to love Z DAY!

This is a physical outdoor open world experience played on a 70 acre property in Sydney. Once you drive through our gates you will be immersed into a post apocalyptic landscape. It'll be like playing a 3D video game but everything that happens will be real and not virtual! The action and events will be unscripted. We will set up some parameters and missions but the rest will be up to you and your fellow players and every session has the potential to be different.

The setting is a world ravaged by a previously unknown virus. Once the virus broke out into the general population it quickly spread to create a global pandemic. Although vast areas and huge numbers of population have been lost to the infection, governments have been able to establish small containment lines known as Safe Havens. These last bastions are strongly guarded and remain the last hope of humanity. Outside the Safe Havens lie the Quarantine Zones and it is here that you will pick up the plot and play your role in Z DAY.

World War Z movie review

Well it's been a couple of weeks since I was able to get on the computer to give my thoughts on the latest Brad Pitt movie "World War Z". I'm going to review without giving too much information to spoil the movie for you. I've read other reviews that compare this movie to other "Zombie" style movie and they don't give it a chance on it's own. If you have read the book you know it's a different style all together. This movie does not go in to the gore zone with Zombie slashing and heads rolling like scenes from AMCs The Walking Dead. But the movie does keep you on the edge of your seat waiting for what around the corner. There is a lot of action that takes place so watch each character you encounter. The money numbers are not as strong on the first weekend of release, but I'm sure Blu-Ray and DVD sales will exceed expectations. This is a movie that needs to be seen more than once and talked about for some time. This is a movie that involves the skill of thinking. trying to solve the problem before and seeing the connections that Brad's character. It will also make you read the book to get more information. It is a different type of "Zombie" for new fans.

Well worth the time and money to see it.
