Special Advance Screening Saturday, June 28

All The Boys Love Mandy Lane
Courtesy of Senator Entertainment, Inc.

We are proud to present an Advance Screening of the highly anticipated horror film ALL THE BOYS LOVE MANDY LANE. The critically-acclaimed hit of the Midnight Madness Program of the Toronto Film Festival is scheduled for major theatrical release from Senator Entertainment, Inc., but attendees of the Saturday night film screenings will have the opportunity to see it first!

A group of high schoolers invite Mandy Lane (Amber Heard), a good girl who became quite hot over the summer, to a weekend party on a secluded ranch. While the festivities rage on, the number of revelers begins to drop quite mysteriously.

ZOMBIE PINUP BEAUTY PAGEANT 2!

The 2007 Zombie Pinup Beauty Pageant Judges & Winners

Flashback Weekend, Chad Savage and ZombiePinups.com are pleased to announce the Second Annual Flashback Weekend Zombie Pinup Beauty Pageant!

On Saturday, June 28, from 5:00 pm to 5:40 pm put on your sexiest classic pinup outfit and your most gruesome zombie make up, and compete to win the coveted title of Miss Zombie Queen 2008! The Pageant will be hosted by John Laflamboy, judged by several of our Celebrity Guests (to be named) and awarded fabulous prizes for First, Second & Third Place.

Judging will be based on quality of make up / effects and costume. Because there are so many great events competing for time this year, we're not going to be able to have a performance element for contestants - maybe next year!

All contestants will be photographed for a special gallery at ZombiePinups.com; winners will, of course, get optimal placement.

To get an idea of what we're looking for, visit the gallery at ZombiePinups.com, and start planning your character NOW!

Contestants should line up outside the contest room starting at 4:30 pm.

John Laflamboy is the founder and Artistic Director of The Foundation Theatre Group and runs Zombie Army Productions. He directs, produces and acts in independent film in Chicago with Big Tree Productions (the production company he co-founded) and is the producer, designer, and director of Chicagoland’s biggest Haunted Houses; Statesville Haunted Prison, City of the Dead, and the Dragon’s Dome.
