Skull and Bones invades Days of the Dead-Indianapolis

We, at Skull and Bones Entertainment, recently had the opportunity to experience our second Days of the Dead convention. This time we went back to where it all began, Indianapolis, Indiana. We began our trip early Thursday morning to catch our flight out of Orlando to Indianapolis. We haven’t been that far from Jacksonville, Florida in a very long time so it was a big deal for us. During the flight all we could think about was meeting people we grew up admiring like Lamberto Bava, Traci Lords, Dick Miller, and Tom Savini just to name a few. We couldn’t wait to arrive in Indy and be amongst the horror crowd and our convention family. Once we arrived at the airport in Indianapolis, Adolfo was an excellent promoter by having a ride waiting to take us to the hotel.  We always arrive to Days of the Dead on Thursday to make sure we attend the infamous pre-party. If you’ve ever been to a Days of the Dead pre-party, you know what we mean. It’s the perfect way to start an awesome weekend.

Skull and Bones Entertainment to interview Danny Trejo

Skull and Bones Entertainment to interview Danny Trejo in July

Dan "Danny" Trejo is an American actor who has appeared in numerous Hollywood films, most notably in "tough guy" roles as a villain or an anti-hero.

Dan Trejo was born in the Echo Park neighborhood of Los Angeles, California, rejo is the son of Alice Rivera and Dan Trejo, a construction worker. He is a second cousin of filmmaker Robert Rodriguez, though the two were unaware that they were related until the filming of Desperado.


While speaking at a recovery meeting in Los Angeles, Trejo met a young man in the movie business. His newfound friend invited him to the set of Runaway Train where Trejo was offered a job as an extra in the film's prison scenes. Edward Bunker, himself a former convict and well-respected crime author who was writing the screenplay for the film, recognized Trejo, with whom he had done time at San Quentin. It was widely misreported that Trejo was actually serving time in the prison where filming took place. Bunker remembered Trejo's boxing skills, and offered him $320 per day to train Eric Roberts, one of the movie's stars, for a boxing scene. Director Andrei Konchalovsky liked Trejo's work and decided to offer him a prominent role in the film.

Since then, Trejo has become a prolific actor in both films and television, acting alongside some of Hollywood's most famous actors, including Jean-Claude Van Damme, Johnny Depp, Al Pacino, Nicolas Cage, Charles Bronson, George Clooney, John Malkovich, Robert De Niro, Harrison Ford, Val Kilmer, and Antonio Banderas. Trejo has often appeared in five or more movies per year in various genres. Major releases in which he has acted include Machete, Blood in Blood Out, Animal Factory, Bubble Boy, Anaconda, Marked for Death, xXx, Desperado, Once Upon a Time in Mexico, Heat, From Dusk till Dawn, Con Air, Six Days Seven Nights, Spy Kids, The Replacement Killers, Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy, Predators, Urban Justice, The Devil's Rejects, Valley of Angels, Delta Farce, Grindhouse, Rob Zombie's Halloween and Snoop Dogg's Hood of Horror.

Her follow-up appearance was in Hooper's Eaten Alive (1976), where she played a vacationer who unwittingly stumbles upon a hotel run by a madman who feeds his guests to his pet alligator.

 

Marilyn earned her 'Scream Queen' status by starring in other horror movies; Kiss Daddy Goodbye (1981), Future-Kill (1985). In 1976 she appeared in the TV-movie Helter Skelter (1976) (TV), and her role as Linda Kasabian, the Charles Manson follower whose testimony helped lead to the convictions of the cult leader and many of his followers, was worthy of viewing.
