Chiller Theatre

We attempted to go to Chiller Theatre Horror convention this past weekend. Drove all the way up to the Meadowlands in northern Jersey and it was sold out. [We had to argue with them to even let us in to go potty before turning around for the 3+ hour drive home!]
 
But in a way after walking around the building and seeing the line to get into the tent to see the guest [it was at least 2 football fields long ----wrapped completely around the building] I was a little relieved. I would not have liked hanging out in the cold all day just to get in to get the few autographs I wanted.
 
I will just bu them off the actors websites. And maybe try Chiller again when it is not their 15th Anniversary big show!

Point Pleasant

Anyone remember this show? It was a little like Dawson's creek meets Damien [I said this the first night it aired and soon after they were using a similar tag line from some other reviewer ---- OC meets the Omen ---- they stole it from me I tellz ya!].
 
It is about this blonde evil chick [aren't all blondes evil?] who supposedly has these powers and the mark of the devil on her.
 
The series did not last the whole season....and I think it was up against something else I watched. So I never saw all the episodes.
 
Well it is coming out on DVD [info will be posted on www.scifislacker.com soon] and I just got my copy. Looks like the complete series is on 3 disks and it even includes 5 unaired episodes.
 
 

Just got Tripping the Rift Season 1

Just got the DVDs for season one of Tripping the Rift and I can't wait to get home tonight after work and start watching them!
 
Loving season 2 and look forward to catching up on season 1
[I was not really faithful to it due to my hatred of SCIFI channel].

REVIEW: Atomic Swindlers CD

Melodic songs from across the galaxy come poring out of April Laragy
and the members of the band Atomic Swindlers.

There's no swindle here just good music. We travel back in time to a
period when bands and their music told a story like the Beatles and
Ziggy Stardust. And you'll hear a bit of their sound in the Atomic
Swindlers as well. Albeit some of the stories told here might be
beyond the grasp of the average human intellect.

As soon as the disk starts spinning you can hear the influences of the
bands mentioned earlier mixed with the sounds of today. Some of the
tunes bring to mind No Doubt or Garbage while others flash back to the
Pandoras [thanks in part to the lead vocals on all accounts]. Laragy's
cow punk past even shines through on one or two of the tracks.

Each tune lends itself to a different style of music while never
straying too far. The deceptively cheery music tends to hide the
darker forces working within the lyrics [which you can read on the
bands official website]. The science fiction theme is never lost in
any of the songs, taking the listener to the outer reaches of space
and time while more often than not returning us to look even deeper
into the human psyche to see what we might have learned on our
journey.

Their first music video is a spiffy little animated Samurai-Jack-like
adventure where we find the heroine searching the galaxy for her
ladylove. The video premiered at the ImageOut film festival for its
lesbian theme. And another song, Intergalactic Lesbian Love Song,
suggests a future time and place when homosexually just is without the
controversy --- as hopefully one day it will be here when all peoples
are excepted no matter their race, religion or orientation.

You can watch the video on their website. It is also available on the
enhanced CD. Once you see it you'll want more.

Take Atomic Swindlers CD, Coming Out Electric out for a spin or two
you'll find yourself listening to it all the time. Be sur eto check
out the band and the cd on their official website.

CD available through CD Baby.com.

Chance to let the scifi geek shine on TV

The casting producer from ABC Televisions show, Wife Swap has contacted me looking for help finding a Sci-fi family for the show. Here is what they are looking for:

"We are specifically looking for a family that is into Science Fiction. We are want families that not only love the movies and TV shows but also love to attend the conventions and participating in any type of sci-fi club! The premise of the show is to take two very different families and switch the mom's for a week. Each family should consist of two parents and at least one child over the age of five and should reside in the continental U.S. It's a positive experience for people to learn about other families and other ways of life. "

And here is something to chew on: " This is a very unique experience that can be life changing for everyone. In addition, each family that tapes an episode of Wife Swap receives a $20,000 honorarium."

If interested let me know [just send me an email scifi at whataslacker dot com] and I will send you the contact info and you too can be a famous and slightly richer sci-fi slacker!
