On Halloween night, Friday October 31st Monster Creature Feature
will be presenting our Halloween Hootenanny at Slim's in Downtown Raleigh.
The Tremors, Killer Filler, and the Straight 8's will all be playing a full on Rockabilly
assault to make your ears bleed. Come in costume and celebrate the greatest
holiday of the year with Ormon Grimsby. We will be giving out special treats
to the best costumes. Hope to see you there!

So you say to yourself, "you know I really like Ormon and all but where is the SCI FI". Well I got your cure for funny, right here. AMC has had a video blog show for the past year or so with their special host, Kevin Maher. And, if you have not checked it out, you don't know what your missing boy howdy!

Every week Kevin covers some aspect of Sci Fi movie-dom and pop culture in an incredibly humorous way. What AMC should do, is ditch what they got going on every Friday night and give Kevin his own show. I mean how many times can you watch Halloween 5 before you ask yourself, why do I punish myself. But, I digress.

Kevin's show on AMC's site is the funniest thing I have seen in a long long time, and besides, look at that face. How can you not fall in love with that?

Mr. Maher has his own blogspot site at Mykevin where you can check out some of the work he has been involved in and see clips from his weekly show on AMC.

The Ghouligans are back at it with a brand new DVD
just in time for the holiday season. Check out the Slack Packs new production, in Color!
Its The Ghouligans SUPER SHOW.

If your a fan of the Groovie Goolies, The Munsters, or Syd and Marty Kroft
then you need to check out the ghouligans and their wacky new monster fun adventures.

Check out the footage of the band Killer Filler performing Ormondium the new theme song of Monster Creature Feature. This footage was shot at The Cave last May at our Zombie Party get together. Be on the look out for more from Killer Filler.

The site is called Extinct Attractions and they have all kinds of cool free stuff for you to check out and then they also have some great DVD's on most of the old ride attractions that used to be all the rage at Disney back in the day. You remember when it was about imagination and not rollercoasters, and you left falling asleep over your parents shoulder dreaming about all the characters you got to meet that day.
