Damascinos	BEST FILM: DRAG ME TO HELL, I SELL THE DEAD, THE HOUSE OF THE DEVIL, DISTRICT NINE	#102	[-]
(01/01/10 6:52 PM) Reply Quote More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite	Sorry for the multiple noms, but I saw a lot of great genre films in 2009. Drag Me To Hell and District Nine have already had enough attention and ink spilled about them: either you saw them or didn't, loved 'em or not. I Sell The Dead lives and breathes the Monster Kid spirit, fashioning a loving tribute to the Universal and Hammer days of old that has plenty of humor to go along with the chills. The House Of The Devil, another NYC low-budget indie from the same production company, was a terrifying irony-free riff on Satanism and babysitter horrors from the 70s and early 80s.
Damascinos	BEST TV PRESENTATION: TORCHWOOD - CHILDREN OF EARTH	#103	[-]

Tearing apart any stability in the lives of the show's heroes gave the program some real juice. And instead of just doing the usual alien invasion schtick, the sci-fi/monster elements were a springboard to a larger and far more frightening story of government conspiracy and betrayal. This is sci-fi at its best, using genre metaphors to explore uncomfortable truths that would prove too controversial as standard drama. I was gripped to the tube every night that week.

But plenty of people objected to the hiring of Elvira over Zacherley, the questionable choice of movie, or simply the fact that NYC's WPIX waited a whole year to do Chiller Theatre again.

DK And thanks Detective Kemper, for your great review of Watchmen in #72. I agree -- should have gotten best Oscar for movie of the year -- not just special effects. What an incredible movie!

I assume you mean Scarlet the Film Magazine #4 but it would not qualify unless it comes out in 2009 and so far I haven't received my copies or heard that it is out yet and there are only a couple of days left in this year. It was supposed to be out by the end of 2009. I hope it's released in the next few hours! LOL I have received word that Scarlett #4 WAS received by some readers by the end of 2009 - so I hope to see it, especially the cover, nominated for a Rondo.
Dubious Comforts	Best Convention of 2009 - THE LIVING DEAD FESTIVAL	#109	[-]
(01/07/10 2:58 PM) Reply Quote More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite	For works released in 2009, I nominate... The 2nd Anuual LIVING DEAD FESTIVAL brought together an unprecedented number of original Night of the Living Dead cast & crew, a majority of whom had never before attended a fan convention. Held in Evans City, Pennsylvania where Night of the Living Dead was lensed 42 years earlier, this event also hosted an incredible gallery showing of rare, authentic NOLD advertising memorabilia, live music, vendors, tattoo artists, special make-up artists, a ghoulish pig roast and a Halloween night screening of the film that defined the zombie genre. The family that slays together: Russell Streiner (Night of the Living Dead producer/actor), Josephine Streiner (ghoul actor and oldest surviving cast member) and Gary Streiner (Night of the Living Dead soundman/investor and Living Dead Festival organizer) at the Evans City event. Who would have ever suspected that these nice people could be responsible for scaring the pants off so many generations of horror fans? Last Edited By: Dubious Comforts 01/07/10 3:02 PM.
