When I received an E-mail about MGM HD’S “Dying for the Weekend” marathon, I thought it would include the typical list of the movies normally shown on Halloween. So I was really surprised that the zombie flick, The Video Dead was part of their lineup. Video Dead is exciting because it hasn’t been released on DVD, so unless you own the VHS you can’t watch it. Horror movie marathons on TV normally consist of movies horror fans already own in their collections.
MGM’s Halloween Marathon kicks off Saturday, October 31 at 6:00am with Deranged and ends on November 1st with Twins of Evil.

We received an e-mail about a haunted attraction that has been a tradition going on six years now. This year the attraction, called Nightmare: Vampires, will not only just be an exhibit but also a story in which you can be a victim…I mean a part of.
Set in the Museum of Vampyric Artifacts (MoVa), the world’s first vampire museum features antiquities related to vampires from the headlines, in the media and from around the world. However, when MoVa and everyone in it are attacked by blood-lusting maniacs, you won’t just be viewing the exhibits on display…you’ll be running from them!
