unapproachable Lauren (Shannyn Sossaman); Lauren is seeing Victor
(Kip Pardue), a handsome and egotistical ladies' man; Victor is

Douglas Schulze directs this unconventional genre movie in which a
group of horror fans get more than they bargained for when they
find themselves immersed in their own nightmare. Russell (Taylor
John Piedmonte) and Duane (Allen Maldonado) attend a horror
convention where they listen to Alfonso Betz (Sid Haig) rail
against the media presenting horror movies as an influence on real
life murders. After the lecture, Russell and Duane meet Judith
(Lauren Mae Shafer), an attractive fellow convention attendee who
invites them to a party that night at an isolated farmhouse.
Something bizarre happens at the party and Russell and Duane awake
to find themselves under attack from hordes of zombies. As horror
devotees, the pair are only too aware that their predicament eerily
echoes the classic Romero movie 'Night of the Living Dead'. Will
they be able to elude a traditional horror ending?

A wonderfully original, warm and witty account of London over the
past 3 decades that simultaneously charts the author's rise from
incidental tourist to internationally renowned agony aunt. Irma
Kurtz arrived in London from New Jersey in the late 1950s.
Horrified by the postwar drabness, she fled to Paris, city of
romance - and heartbreak . She returned to London in 1963, and her
renewed encounter with the city developed into a slow-burn love
affair. Irma's witty and percipient observations of contemporary
London provide stepping stones into the past, and so both her own
amazing life story and that of the metropolis unfurl before us in
Dear London. Rebel and free spirit par excellence, her
recollections create a vivid portrait of the Age of Aquarius; and
her early career is a highly entertaining helter-skelter through
the Central Office of Information, Raymond's Revue Bar and life at
England's first girlie magazine, King before a post at the
innovative Nova magazine set her on a course that she would pursue
with huge success.
After more than thirty years as an expatriate, Irma Kurtz gave in
to her growing curiosity about her American roots and set off on a
grand adventure to explore 'the most baffling of all places' - by
Greyhound bus. Taking only the barest necessitites for travel, she
entered the vast network of America's bus routes and a seething,
fleeting world of brief encounters and changing landscapes.
The classic fantasy-adventure epic. Young Fletcher Arrowsmith
