Sci-Fi and Lair of the Minotaur

This Saturday, just before midnight at the Music Box Theatre, the penultimate (that means second-to-ultimate, y'all) event of the Sci-Fi Spectacular is the screening of "Evil Power" by The Lair of the Minotaur. This is notable, not only because Lair of the Minotaur is an incredibly awesome, melt-your-face local metal band and this new tune will be heavier than a neutron star, but also because the video is directed by Friend of WildClaw, and all-around Blood Stud, RYAN OLIVER.



Oliver was the man behind the gruesome biological effects of "The Great God Pan" and the amazingly, disturbingly realistic zombie head shots that crowned last year's production of "The Revenants." Check out the myspace page of his production company, Deathblow, for details on his current project, "She-Bang," a sort-of all-women version of "The Warriors." Seriously. Cool stuff.
