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 Marilyn Burns

Skull and Bones Entertainment to interview Marilyn Burns in July



Marilyn Burns was born in Erie, Pennsylvania on July 5, 1950, and was one of the original 'Scream Queens', remembered primarily for her role in The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974). 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.

In 1994 Marilyn had an uncredited cameo role as a patient on a gurney in Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation (1994).

Skull and Bones Invades May-Hem

Skull and Bones Entertainment was able to make a last minute trip down to Spooky Empire’s May-Hem in Orlando last weekend, thanks to our good friend Melissa Benjamin, Food and Beverage Director at Wyndham Worldwide. I (Ashley) was eager to see John Astin, Oliver Robbins, and Joey Lauren Adams just to name a few, Mark was looking forward to meeting Linda Hamilton, and Vivica Fox, and we both were very excited to finally get to meet Caroline Williams. We were also looking forward to attending May-Hem as we were not able to make it last year, and it would be our first time. We knew to expect a smaller show than in October, but other than that we weren’t sure what we’d encounter.

Days of the Dead's Newest Location is....

"Rowdy" Roddy Piper, is one of the most recognizable names in the history of professional wrestling and one of the most infamous villains in the history of the sport. Known for his spontaneity, and his rockstar-like persona, "Hot Rod" is often remembered for his long standing feud with arch nemesis Hulk Hogan, a rivalry that culminated in an epic brawl at Wrestlemania I which saw Hogan and Mr. T going against (and narrowly defeating) Piper and Paul Orndorff (with Muhammad Ali acting as special guest referee).
Throughout his tenure in pro wrestling, Piper accumulated thirty-four championships in various promotions during his career. He was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2005.
