One down, two more to go. Had a great time last night during the first of 3 shows for “Night of the Living Dead” in Rome, NY. Hopefully will have a recap and some pics up sometime Sunday (have filming to do that day so…). Tonight-the 2nd of three shows at the Rome Capital Theater. Looking forward to it…Hoping to have some backstage pics and recap on my acting page on Facebook sometime this Sunday.

As some of you may remember, back in 2011, I started filming on a movie called “Night of Something Strange” where I play the role of “Corneilus”-the lead zombie. It’s a gruesome movie and, to date, the hardest movie I’ve filmed on. Just got word that the trailer for this is available. Hopefully, I’ll be able to post some pics soon. The “Face” around the trailer screen in me and you’ll see in briefly in full makeup. So go to this site and check their stuff out.
Tonight-the first of three shows-the theater performance of “Night of the Living Dead” at the Rome Capital Theater in Rome, NY. I’m playing the role of “Ben” in this. 🙂 No video taping is allowed and I can only take some backstage pics but will hopefully have some pics up and a recap this Sunday on my acting page on Facebook.

-As some of you may know, last October I helped out with SWAMP ROAD TERROR. There was a tie in with my role as Horace Merkins from the film “THE DOLLMAKER.” This year SRT turned into “BOOVILLE IN BVILLE” and I am again reprising my role as Horace for this (not all the time though due to prior commitments so if you see “Horace”, it might not be me) .
-The 1st set of pics were taken a week or so before opening weekend. I was being briefed on what it was I had to do and given a little tour. There are three haunted houses to go thru (The Attic, The Cage & The Incinerator) plus this is all indoors so the weather won’t be a factor. In addition, they also have live bands playing, venders, kids days and much more. Check out their website and page on Facebook for more info.
-I had a good time with my first week. I accidentally broke one of the props last night. Seems like I can’t be in any production without either hurting myself, others and / or property 🙂 . Got some people really good too. One woman said she peed her pants 🙂 A number of people liked the Horace mask. Earlier today I was part of the cast of monsters that accompanied Baldwinsville Mayor Joe Sariceni in temporarily changing the “Welcome to Baldwinsville” sign to “Welcome to Booville” as well as a ribbon cutting ceremony declaring Booville to now be open. Pics can be seen on my page on Facebook.
-As stated above, due to scheduling I won’t always be there. This coming week I’m in a theater production of “Night of the Living Dead” in Rome, NY (I’m playing the role of “Ben”) so I won’t be there, but Horace will…. 🙂
-I also did some quick filming with Brian Hewitt for the film “Transformation” by HEWITT FILMS. This is getting closer to being done. Hopefully I’ll be wrapped with this by the end of the month.

Opening weekend for BOOVILLE IN BVILLE! I’m reprising my role as “Horace Merkins” from the film THE DOLLMAKER for this (not all the time though due to prior commitments so if you see “Horace”, it might not be me) . There are three haunted houses to go thru (The Attic, The Cage & The Incinerator) plus this is all indoors so the weather won’t be a factor. In addition, for this weekend only, if you’re a friend of theirs on Facebook you receive a discount on combo tickets. Check out their page on Facebook and “LIKE.”
-Here’s my little recap of the 2013 RoberCON Roberson SciFi Convention in Binghamton, NY on Sunday Sept. 29. I was with the “Tales of Dracula” group and was on of the cast seated in front of a display which included an actual coffin (which I can’t fit in) and a large TV screen which showed not only the movie trailer, but also behind the scenes still pics. I tried to take a few but they got over saturated. Oh well…
-I arrived with Cassie H. and, with Greta V., met director Joe DeMuro and we were brought to the table-which was on the top floor of the building. There were four of us at the table. They was me (Dracula), Tom Delillo (The Wolfman), and two of Dracula’s Brides (Greta Volkova & Laura Brink). Cassie also was signing stuff too. We had lobby cards with a pic of each of us for each person and we were signing then for free to anyone who wanted one. In addition, there was a raffle going on for 6 original oil paintings made by Ron Chamberlain-the man who did all the FX and makeup for the film. We also all (at the table) wearing Wolfbain Production t-shirts.
-We were basically there from 9 AM to 4 AM. People would come in waves. Some times there was no one for awhile, then a few, then a group of people. I didn’t keep accurate count, but I believe I signed at least 50 of those lobby cards. Met a lot of
very cool people and made some new contacts. I mostly stayed at the Tales table (at least till the end) so I didn’t really get to see much of the rest of the Con. I was told they had over 1,100 people here. A lot of people were all dressed up in various costumes-which was a blast to see. We even had some belly dancers do a performance near our table. The response to what we were doing and the trailer was overwhelmingly positive.
-I did a short video interview for the CON MEN WEB SERIES which was cool to do. Their FB page is at Hopefully that will be up soon. Our table also got interviewed and filmed by one of the Binghamton TV News crews so hopefully we’ll get to see that soon as well.
-It was a long day but I had a great time and felt very fortunate to have been included in this. Thanks to all my fellow cast, crew & production team from “Tales of Dracula.” I know there’s at least a few more cons that we might be doing in 2014. Thanks also to the RoberCON staff for putting this up and a huge thanks to all the people who came over to our table-even if it was just for the free candy 🙂 My camera broke down so I had to use my phone camera, so I also included some of the pics Greta & Cassie took. Pics are up on my page on Facebook. Enjoy!
