So just in time for Halloween and the Haunt Season how about some of the Halloween Horror Icon Alice Cooper News.
Alice Cooper is going to be judging over some crazy acts to become part of a “Freak Act” to become part of his upcoming London Shows. Alice is going to be touring the U.K. and most importantly on Halloween he will be playing the U.K. Captial and also on November 1, 2010.
Right now he has asked performers to submit audition videos via digital, video, dvd, etc. to join him as part of his tour. The overall best acts will be asked to do a LIVE audition on August 9 and 10th at the London Dungeon. And YES ALICE HIMSELF MAKES THE FINAL CALL not producers or handlers or promoters.
Alice has said he wants Halloween to be as big at Christmas and this is heading towards that direction.

THURSDAY NIGHT MEET AND GREET SPONSORED BY MIDNIGHT SYNDICATE
Join Host Marty Gear, a.k.a. “Uncle Vlad” of Castle Blood and Balticon fame, for a casual social to meet and socialize with convention guests, presenters, and talent. John Bundy and Morgan will be on hand to provide a taste of their magical talent that will run on the Fangoria Stage Friday through Sunday. The band who spawned a genre, Midnight Syndicate, will show the trailer to the upcoming film THE DEAD MATTER as well as their first and brand-new music video.
Throughout the evening, Marty will be giving away prizes from Midnight Syndicate and other sponsors for those who show that they can match or surpass his superior vampire bit…sorry, wit! We cannot say much more about this, except that one should be prepared to put their “best fang forward” and remember that even vampires like to laugh. **This event is included in general convention admission**
SATURDAY “AFTER PARTY” WITH THE YOUNG WEREWOLVES
Don’t go to bed or hide in a corner! Rock with The Young Werewolves from Saturday night through the wee hours of Sunday morning. If you haven’t heard The Young Werewolves play, then you haven’t heard why FANGORIA, Sid Haig, GOTHIC BEAUTY, ROCKABILLY MAGAZINE, and others have had such great things to say about Philly’s best offering to the Psychobilly Planet! See and hear for yourselves: they look as great as they sound! **This event is included in general convention admission**
HAUNTERS’ GOT TALENT COMPETITION
If you have five minutes of talent in you, then share it with us and compete for a coffin-load of prizes! At present, we have well over $1,500.00 in prizes to give away and the list is still growing. EVERY entrant will receive a prize, but if you advance to the final round, even the consolation prizes increase in value. Finalists will compete for larger prize packages that include NHC’s now-infamous “Convention Cash.” Convention Cash spends like real money at any dealer booth on the show floor and is also awarded in smaller amounts for various reasons over the weekend.
There is no additional entry fee for Haunters’ Got Talent. Rules are available online. Entrants must register in advance with Chris Handa, NHC Entertainment Director, to receive a spot in the competition. Maximum number of competitors: 12.

MAINSTAGE SHOWS

John has years of performance as Wacky Dracky and other character appearing everywhere from trade shows to theme parks. Among magicians, John has received many accolades and been featured in many publications, including a prestigious MAGIC MAGAZINE Cover Story for October 2005. Morgan was recently awarded “2009 Escape Artist of the Year” and was featured on the World Magic Awards in January.
Tony Gangi, The Amazing Human Head will present his sideshow-themed performance on Friday and Saturday. Tony will also be available to sign copies of his newly-released CARNY SIDESHOWS: WEIRD WONDERS OF THE MIDWAY and discuss his current and upcoming projects.
The Creatures East will return to the Fangoria Stage with spooky storytelling, as well as be around all weekend on the show floor, as seminar presenters, and a part of the Children’s Programming Track.
Fangoria.com has been a great partner and few people know more of the details of the Horror Biz than the people of FANGORIA. Join them as they take the stage to ask you questions about classic and contemporary horror films, and have the chance at winning one of the many items in their unique stash of haunt and horror themed prizes!
The Curator of the Medieval Weapons of War Show and Professor Ouch will step away from their respective exhibits to entertain and educate us on the Fangoria Stage.
Chris Handa of spookymagic.com will remove and demonstrate items from Professor Scrye’s Closet of Curiosities. As an entertainer and magic director, Chris has honed his craft and collected some very unique items. He will share some of those with you from the Fangoria Stage if you are brave enough to assist him with some experiments!
Finally, veteran masquerade director Dawn McKechnie, known to many as “Kaijugal” and “Autumn” from various conventions and gatherings, will host the SCREAMS AND DREAMS FASHION SHOW. Think of it as a “Best in Show” exhibition of the premiere costumes, props, and products in haunting and horror. This is your chance to our vendors and crastspeople put their best foot forward and onstage with a display of the things that everybody wants for their own show or display. **All of the above is included with general admission**
FEATURED EXHIBITS
We’re bringing the Midway and the Ren Faire to you! For a very small admission cost, you can visit the most unique collections of items assembled in one convention. Visit Professor Ouch’s Odditorium and Great American Midway, Doctor Slickshill’s Sideshow Museum of Monsterous Oddities, and Rich Hanf’s Medieval Weapons of War Show during Show Floor Hours Friday through Sunday. Each Showman has his own collection of unique items and experiences to share. We are very fortunate to have all of these “Curators of the Creepy” with us for our entertainment and education.

Time to send out some Horror Birthday Love to Bobby “Boris” Pickett. Now sad to say, Bobby is no longer here, we can still remember all his works that have made Halloween a Party to remember every year. Mr. Pickett was born on February 11, 1938. He passed away in April of 2007, but still lives on in our hearts.
SO HAPPY BIRTHDAY MONSTER MASH KING
Bobby had a knack for doing an impression of the legendary actor Boris Karloff. His father, a theater owner encouraged him and helped drive his love of the golden age of Horror Films. This translated to him often doing an impression of Karloff during his time with the band the Cordials. It was there that the legend of the MONSTER MASH was born.
One of his bandmates told him he needed to do a whole song dedicated to the Horror Icon and so the writing of the song began. MONSTER MASH was written in about half an hour, and has since become the staple of Halloween, Trick or Treating and Parties around the world and of all time. Most of the sound effects were created by Pickett himself including the creaky door, a nail being pulled from a piece of wood, the boiling viles, Pickett blowing bubbles in a cup among others. This creative master piece went on to hit Number One on the Billboard Charts the week leading up to Halloween in 1962, 1970, and May of 1973!
Now as we know here at ROTTING FLESH RADIO, Pickett made entire albums full of campy, novelty Halloween Songs. Some of my personal favorites were Monsters Holiday, Wolfs Bane, Transylvania Twist and others. The LP remains in my collection today and I will never forget the time I was able to meet Bobby and talk with him about this classic era when Halloween was true Americana.
In the Haunt Industry Music plays a huge roll in an event to set the mood or tone. And many of you may remember back at Midwest Haunters Convention Symphonic Sacrafices jamming on stage at Club Vampire.
Well after some time off and working on their own haunted attractions, Dr. Frankenfingers is BACK!
“Good Evening Boils and Ghouls,
Symphonic Sacrifices and Living Dead Mafia have since built two major haunted houses. One was a 7,000 Sq foot mansion at a historically preserved actual haunted house. The other was a 60,000 Sq ft trail in the middle of the woods. Great year for us!
Symphonic Sacrifices is now available again to write music for your haunted event or attraction. If you are looking for music please contact me at houdioni2@optonline.net
Thanks everyone,
Robert J. Frankenberg”
So it seems the Doc is back and ready to give your haunt an exclusive track! For more information about Symphonic Sacrifices and to hear his work visit: www.SoundClick.com/SymphonicSacrifices
