Arcade Brewery: Zombie Crawl, Evil Dead Brew & Tweet, and C2E2

From the fine folks at Arcade Brewery...

This Saturday, we'll be hosting our second monthly Brew and Tweet. The event will begin at 8:00 pm CST.  Location?  Basically anywhere you have access to Netflix Instant.

So, what is Brew and Tweet?

1. We, as a community, decide on a movie that's playing on Netflix Instant.  We use a Netflix Instant title, so more people have access.
2. Everyone who wants to participate presses play at 8:00 PM CST 
3. We all tweet our comments (e.g. MST 3000) and also talk about the brews we have in hand.  Don't forget to hashtag #kiltscreen after each tweet so we can all follow the same feed. 

If you missed the first Brew and Tweet. we watched Highlander to celebrate the William Wallace Wrestle Fest design competition.  This week, we've selected a few movies that we think would be fun for the event and need your help deciding what we watch.

Here are the options for this month's Brew and Tweet:
Evil Dead (1981), Tremors, Double Dragon, 13th Floor, & Shoalin Soccer.

To vote, go to our Facebook Page this week and tell us what we should watch together this Saturday! Coming up next for Arcade Brewery: We are providing some secret Arcade Brewery zombie swag, including a Tony Moore signed print and signed shotgun shells at this year's ph Productions' Zombie Pub Crawl on April 20th.   Come see us at this years C2E2!  We will be on a Beer and Comics panel with Revolution, 3 Floyds, Goose, Barnaby Starve, CB Cebulski, Tony Moore and more!  April 27th, 6:30-7:30 PM.   The brewery is moving along on schedule and are currently in review on our license.  We can't wait to get our brews in your hands!

And just to wet your whistle...here is the red band trailer.  SCARY!  BLOODY!

EVIL DEAD reviewed by Dr. AC

So I guess this is happening.  I guess we're going to have to see the remake of EVIL DEAD.  Too many signs have been pointing towards it:

The film is name-checked and pimped in this week's episode of SciFy's Face Off (go J. Anthony!  Final Four: time to bring the big guns!)

Charlie Athanas stirs up the interfacewebs by posting rumors of Army of Darkness 2.

And the good Doctor, our friend and emeritus founding member, has given his stamp of approval from a pre-screening at SXSW.

Read his literate and spoiler-free review here.  Return to this blog often.

Now to convince Grandma and/or Grandpa Morlock to mind the baby evil one and convince Lady Morlock that an afternoon with Deadites but NO BRUCE CAMPBELL is not squandering precious moments of child-less freedom.

Happy Ash Wednesday

Had almost forgotten that today is an important holiday. Thanks to Trelbee and Stephanie for celebrating with me.

NHL GOALIES LOVE HORROR

Goalie masks are scary. We all know this.

And horror fans, in the name of Bruce Campbell, Sam Raimi, and all things unliving, unite this season behind the NHL's Columbus Blue Jackets.

And this call to action from a Pittsburgh Penguins fan. Why, you ask? Because of THIS:



Steve Mason, the Jackets' goalie, has unveiled his new "Evil Dead Civil War" mask, which he will be wearing while in the crease next season. A thing of beauty, and the coolest horror-related goalie mask since Curtis Joseph's "CuJo" series.



Mike Smith of Tampa Bay also rolled out a series of "Saw" masks a couple years back, as a co-owner of the Tampa Bay Lightning Oren Koules co-produced the infamous film franchise.



Check out this ESPN gallery of other scary goalie masks.

So...horror fans. Why aren't you watching more hockey?
