Halloween Horror Picture Show Update From Edward Lee
Halloween Horror Picture Show Update
Location: Tampa , FL
People came and went all day...while I spent most of the day trying to hook-up with hot actresses and playing up my "author-turned-actor" status.
Enough of my sexcapades (you can read about them in my next novel), HEADER started at 11:15 - a bit late for a school night but there were lots of folks remaining, including a dozen or so "hardcore" Edward Lee fans. I point this out, because they kind of had chips on their shoulders at first--it was actually pretty funny...they seemed concerned that the movie wouldn't do the fiction justice, so I just said, "Watch the flick and judge for yourself."
I gave an intro to the film, and kicked ass, if I do say so myself...unfortunately, the lights were pretty dim. I ask them to do that, makes me look younger. So the photographer didn't get any good pics, but trust me, I looked good!
When it was over they all loved it. So I fielded lots of questions and signed numerous book covers, shirts...and breasts.
One other note, since Archie and Mike couldn't make it down for the event I actually hung out ALL DAY and watched the other features and shorts. The other features were okay, especially Dark Remains, but HEADER was still my favorite of the bunch. And I'm pretty sure HEADER got the biggest applause. The bottom line, though, is people loved HEADER!
Got to thank Rick Danford for putting the event together. That's it for me, I need some sleep.

p.s. - sorry, no photos this time, none that "myspace" will post anyway, something about child pornography laws...

Edward Lee gave us crabs at Fango Con 2006!
That's right folks, Mike and I had one hell of a time at this years East Coast Fango Con. We got to enlighten rock legend Dee Snider as to what a Header is; met a bunch of cool Header fans; had some unexpected signings; hung out with Scott "Vlad" Licina and Mark Kidwell of Fangoria Comics; gave Tony Timpone a piggyback ride around the hotel; threw a TV set out a window in true rockstar fashion; and filled our bellies with bourbon and beer in Manhattan with Jack Ketchum, Phil Nutman, Linda Addison, Gerard Houarner and Edward Lee. That's when things started getting sketchy... when 2:00 a.m. rolled around, Ed Lee decided to give us both crabs. Not the small, light brown, flat insects that cling to one's course and curlies, but rather the blue, soft-shelled, slathered in butter kind that scream when you fry 'em. Just picture the master of extreme horror in his jammies, murdering three sea spiders on your stove at two in the morning. (To Lee's defense he says crabs don't have a nervous system) That's when Mike came back with, "neither does my ex-girlfriend". So we tore off their legs, pulled the top skin off, crunched into their torsos, and consumed all the sweet meat and yellow goop a man could want. That is if he hadn't drank his weight in booze an hour earlier. Mike said he felt his crab crawling it's way out of his stomach as he tried to sleep. I on the other hand was too drunk to realize that my crab made its way out my ass and soiled the sheets. Ahhh, good times.
Check out the photos .. just click ..PICS.. on our profile page.
Next stop .. TAMPA!
See ya..all there,
Archie and Mike

9-11 Screening in Manhattan - Killer review
Current mood:  excited
There's a reason NY is the city that never sleeps...
On September 11th, Tony Timpone, the editor of FANGO magazine, had the pleasure of introducing Header as "one of the most over-the-top horror films I've seen in a long time."
Suffice to say, the crowd loved it.
Click on PICS for a glimps of the event.

HEADER recaps RIIFF
We just returned from the 2006 Rhode Island International Film Festival (RIIFF). Met some really cool people and definitely had a blast. The folks from the RI "Horror-Genre Fest" were given three slots to program in the main festival and we were psyched to have been one of them.
And a special thanks to actor Jake Suffian (Special Agent Stewart Cummings), for making the trip and for doing what great actors do - schmoozing and boozing. And we'd like to thank our legal counsel for tagging along and keeping us out of trouble.
As you can imagine, RIIFF contained all the usual festival fair too much food, too much drink and way too much debauchery crammed in to a few short days.
Funny, with the RIIFF being such a mainstream fest, HEADER's audience was comprised of our target audience AND a fair share of "normal" people. The kind of folks who had no clue what they were in for. "Oh, look dear, a horror movie. Lets stay and watch HEADER." It sounds exciting Well the first HEADER scene unfolds and all those normal people starting dropping like flies. By the time of the second Header came on screen, its safe to say two thirds the audience had to hit the bricks.
And we gotta tell ya. That f*ckin ROCKS!
What did they think they were in for - a predictable Hollywood horror-flick or worse, a hacks remake of a classic?!? Either way, we couldn't help but laugh.
And for those of you with iron stomachs, the ones so desensitized to graphic images of violence that they were able to stay through the final credits, for THOSE people, we thank you. You told us you were satisfied, shocked, amazed, blown away, in awe, excited, elated, surprised you told us we did the movie RIGHT.
We don't want to hear anyone saying we didn't warn them. Not only is this the most controversial film you may ever see, its seriously F'ed up and if you dont appreciate the splatterspunk genre - then dont waste your money.
But if you think you're brave enough, if you think youre ready for something so vile its almost indescribable, then treat yourself to the HEADER screening hosted by FANGORIA on 9/11 in Manhattan. And get your tics in advance we were told its sure to be a sell-out.
Come see for yourself what mainstream America couldn't swallow!
Until then, well keep the ratings board on pins and needles.
