THE THING – Opens October 14

Antarctica: an extraordinary continent of awesome beauty.  It is also home to an isolated outpost where a discovery full of scientific possibility becomes a mission of survival when a creature is unearthed by a crew of international scientists.  In the thriller The Thing, paranoia spreads among a group of researchers as they encounter something inhuman that has the ability to turn itself into an exact replica of any living being.

Paleontologist Kate Lloyd (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) has traveled to the desolate region for the expedition of her lifetime.  Joining a Norwegian scientific team that has stumbled across a ship buried in the ice, she discovers an organism that seems to have died in the crash eons ago.
But it is about to wake up.

When a simple experiment frees the thing from its frozen prison, Kate must join the crew’s pilot, Carter (Joel Edgerton), to keep it from killing them off one at a time.  And in this vast, intense land, a parasite that can mimic anything it touches will pit human against human as it tries to survive and flourish.

The Thing serves as a prelude to John Carpenter’s classic 1982 film of the same name.  Directed by Matthijs van Heijningen, the thriller is produced by Strike Entertainment’s Marc Abraham and Eric Newman (Dawn of the Dead).

The Zombie Crawl and Pig Roast was a blast!

The attendance was easily double last year’s event and it was so successful, even the political candidates were out pressing the flesh with the Zombies. I was talking to Greg Reinke who hosted the event and all he kept saying is, “We are going to need more pigs next year.”

We really want to thank everyone that participated! We were really happy to have our promotional partner GameStop at the event with a couple of zombie video games available for people to play.

Here’s where you can view some photos I took with my phone at the event.

Zombies big and small are invited to assemble atThe Adventures in Dance studio (Woodlawn Shopping Center) at Noon and touch up your decrepidness in preparation for the march through Historic Downtown Littleton at 1:00pm.

Participants will, hopefully, end their crawl at The Reinke Bros. Haunted Mansion (5663 S. Prince Street) where all those in costume will be treated to a feast of roasted pig to satiate their thurst for flesh and blood.

The parade will be led by a New Orleans Style Funeral Jazz Band and start West down Littleton Blvd to Main and then S Rapp St. At the half-way point the crowd will smell cooking Pig Flesh and turn South to W Alamo Ave. and then proceed East to S Prince St. As the smell of swine grows stronger, the hoard will turn North and with renewed vigor stumble their way into the The Haunted Mansion parking lot. The entire length of the crawl is about 1.2 miles.

Food, Prizes, and photo opportunities will reward all those who kick off the cobwebs and raise from their coffins for the event.

Dream House | Instant Win Screening
Thursday, Sept. 29 at 10 PM at the UA Pavilions Theater

You and a guest are invited to an advance screening of DREAM HOUSE on Thursday, September 29 at 10:00pm in Denver. Please e-mail buzzbodenver@gmail.com your name, age and mailing address to enter to win a screening pass for two. You must be 13 years or older and include “DREAM HOUSE – Starland” in the subject to qualify.

DREAM HOUSE has been rated PG-13 (Parents Strongly Cautioned – Some Material May Be Inappropriate for Children Under 13) for violence, terror, some sexuality and brief strong language. Dream House opens in theaters on Friday, September 30, 2011. Details at dreamhousemovie.net

Some say that all houses have memories. For one man, his home is the place he would kill to forget. Daniel Craig, Naomi Watts and Rachel Weisz star in Dream House, a suspense thriller about a family that unknowingly moves into a home where grisly murders were committed…only to find themselves the killer’s next target.

Successful publisher Will Atenton (Craig) quit a high power job in Manhattan to relocate his wife, Libby (Weisz), and two girls to a quaint New England town. But as they settle into their new life, they discover their perfect home was the murder scene of a mother and her children. And the entire city believes it was at the hands of the husband who survived.

When Will investigates, he’s not sure if he’s starting to see ghosts or if the tragic story is just hitting too close to home. His only clues come from Ann Paterson (Watts), a mysterious neighbor who knew those who were shot. And as Will and Ann piece together the haunting puzzle, they must find out who murdered the family in Will’s dream house before he returns to kill again.
