Every once in a while, something comes along that you know is just going to be awesome… I mean, something that goes on your calendar and you look forward to it every day wishing time would just move faster.

Well, here is one of those things. The Cadaver Lab have become proud sponsors of the Summer’s Dead Festival.  The Summer’s Dead Festival is going to be a collection of Horror Punk, Metal, Psychobilly, and Punk bands from all over the United States.

The show takes place on Friday August 27 and Saturday August 28th at Burt’s Tiki Lounge (located at 726 S State St in Salt Lake City).  Headlining the show will be Salt Lake City’s own Die Monster Die, who will play a set on both nights of the festival.

There are still many weeks until the festival but already there are a handful of bands who have committed to playing the festival:

• Die Monster Die
• Spawn Atomic
• The Returners
• Victims Willing
• Simian Greed (Formerly Left for Dead)

The price for each night will be $10 and there will be no pre-sales of tickets, so get your asses there early!  One last thing… we have confirmation that Die Monster Die will be providing some free drinks!  What a bunch of nice dudes!

One last thing… make sure to “like” them on Facebook and continually visit their official website for updates!

This weekend, there are some great horror/zombie related happenings going on.  First of all, let’s not forget about DieMonsterDie’s show at The New Song Underground, but we have the Salty Zombies Weekend!

I had a chance to talk with Zombie Zed, the organizer of the Salty Zombies Weekend and did a writeup on the Examiner.  However, this weekend’s activities aren’t the only thing that he has organized, he has put together a social network for all horror-related events in Salt Lake City.  Make sure to check out the article and SaltyZombies.com!

As announced in Episode 41, we’re taking on a new activity in Cadaver Trax.  What is Cadaver Trax you ask?  Well, let me tell you.  Ever heard of Riff-Trax?  Well, this is very similar, except it is you that gets to create your own commentary for a horror movie!  What you do, is watch a predetermined flick and record some commentary as you watch it.  You send in your file to Ferguson at ferguson@cadaverlab.com and he’s going to compile and edit all of our tracks and we will release it as a whole package!

Ferguson has given us some guidelines:

- a single audio file. multiple files will be impossible to sync up and just cause me nothing
but headaches.

- give some cues as you go along, call out the time, or something happening on screen at
some random moments. mostly at the beginning, once it’s set up it should be synced just
fine.

- go ahead and give your name at the beginning, and if you feel so inclined a shameless
self promotion as the credits roll.

- just be aware that if you ramble for a long uninterrupted time, then either it will be cut
up into a smaller portion or cut altogether to get as many people in.

- have fun with it, be creative! don’t just try to wow everyone with your hilarious banter
(though if you feel up to it, please wow my pants off. please, they are rather constricting),
but maybe you’ll want to be serious and dissect the scenes and give important insight
or do something totally unexpected and original. the more individuality that everyone
puts into this the more fun the final product will be!

As for the first movie, it will be House of the Dead directed by Uwe Boll.  Hopefully it will spark some discussion!  Make sure to have your commentary recorded and sent to ferguson@cadaverlab.com by Oct 1, 2009!

The gears have been turning down at the Salty Horror Film Festival headquarters. I have updated the goings on with an Examiner article.

However, one of the main updates has been the creation and release of the event’s first trailer:

The Second Annual SLC Zombie Walk has come and gone.  Having never attended a Zombie Walk before, I must say that it was definitely a fun experience.  I was impressed the number of participants that showed up.

I don’t want to go too deeply into it because I did a writeup on Examiner.com.  For all of the details and tons of pics, click here!

I realize that this is short notice, but for those of you here in Salt Lake City there is a zombie walked planned for this Sunday August 9, 2009.  I’ve done a writeup on Examiner.com which outlines all of the details.

This is just a quick article that gives some details regarding the event.  Expect a recap sometime next week with pics and a rundown!
