Free Sci-Fi and Horror Shows on Comet.tv

November 7, 2016 By Conrad Zero

From their press release:

COMET.TV has an incredible array of movies that you simply can’t get with a subscription to streaming platforms like Netflix, Amazon, or Hulu. From wild adventures on Mars to critically acclaimed classics, COMET is the ultimate home of sci-fi and horror… and it’s all totally free, no subscriptions needed.

I checked it out, expecting there to be some kind of membership, or sign up, or other marketing BS. But the fact is, Comet is the real deal. Jump on and, as their tagline says, “Space out.” Good luck trying to understand how their business model works, but it’s nice to see a channel dedicated to science fiction, supernatural, horror, adventure and fantasy series and films. And with over 1500 hours of programming, there’s plenty here you’ve probably never heard of.

Oh, and they just aquired the rights to Mystery Science Theater 3000, so watch for that…

Marvel’s Ant-Man Makes Interesting Promises (and Apologies?) Regarding Female Superheroes

July 29, 2015 By Conrad Zero

For such a small movie, Ant-Man carries a lot of weight.

As someone who grew up on a steady diet of Marvel comics, it’s hard not to be a fan of the Marvel series of movies. The latest entry, Ant-Man, did not disappoint. In fact, it had all the light-hearted, actiony fun of Guardians of the Galaxy. Disney would be proud.

But as someone who enjoys (and writes) kick-ass heroines in my fiction, it’s hard not to be ticked off at Marvel (and DC, and Hollywood in general) for leaving the ladies on the back burner. Sure, Black Widow, Rogue, Storm, Gamora, Scarlet Witch, et al. are definitely included, and they do kick ass, but by now it’s blatantly obvious they are in supporting-roles-only, and they don’t get their own movies.

Fans have been begging DC for a Wonder Woman movie for over a decade now. Instead Warner Bros coughed up Catwoman. And Marvel isn’t helping.

Hey Marvel, where’s Dazzler?

Hey Marvel, where’s Zatanna? [Read more…]

Behind.

Scenes.

I saw the Conjuring on DVD and stayed up way too late watching the behind the scenes. They were every bit as creepy as the movie itself! See interviews with those who lived out the real events dramatized in the film.

Based on a true story, the movie tells the horrifying account of how famed paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren were summoned to help a family terrorized by a dark presence in a secluded farmhouse which they recently bought. In fighting this powerful demonic being, the Warrens find themselves in the middle of the most terrifying case of their lives!

And I’m giving away a Free copy of the DVD/Blu-Ray of The Conjuring here on November 3rd!

5 Horrific Facts About The Conjuring

Below are interactive gifs and cool facts about The Conjuring. Run your cursor over the images for a horrific, interactive experience, and good luck on those free tickets!

1) The Conjuring is directed by the acclaimed James Wan, the Australian-born director of the fright-fests Insidious and the Saw series. His Twitter handle is @CreepyPuppet. Say no more.

2) The Conjuring has been given an “œR” rating by the MPAA. Not because of blood, gore, or violence, but simply because it”™s just so scary from start to finish!

3) The Conjuring’s cast and crew experienced creepy events during filming. Scratches appeared out of nowhere on Vera Farmiga’s computer soon after she agreed to act in the movie, the crew were routinely woken by something in the ‘witching hour’ between 3 and 4AM, and the real-life Carolyn Perron fell and broke her hip while visiting the set.

4) The Rhode Island farmhouse where The Conjuring is set once belonged to an accused witch, Bathsheba, who tried to sacrifice her children to the devil and killed herself in 1863.

5) Hold your applause! The Conjuring will make you terrified to clap! Whether it”™s playing a traditional game of hide-and-seek by following the clapping sounds like the mother and daughter in the movie, or being terrorized by ghostly claps in different rooms of the haunted farmhouse, these claps throughout the movie will give you the creeps!

FREE Movie Ticket Giveaway for All Is Lost!

October 21, 2013 By Conrad Zero

This site is turning into a giveaway center! But as long as fine folks like All Is Lost are going to give me swag like movie tickets to give away for free, I’m not going to complain!

On Sunday, October 27th, I’ll be giving away 2 free tickets to the movie All Is Lost starring Robert Redford.

Academy Award ® winner Robert Redford stars in All Is Lost, an open-water thriller about one man”™s battle for survival against the elements after his sailboat is destroyed at sea. But with the sun unrelenting, sharks circling and his meager supplies dwindling, the ever-resourceful sailor soon finds himself staring his mortality in the face.

Written and directed by Academy Award nominee J.C. Chandor (Margin Call) with a musical score by Alex Ebert (Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros), All Is Lost is a gripping, visceral and powerfully moving tribute to ingenuity and resilience.

Cool! How Do I Win Free Tickets to All Is Lost?

Easy. On Sunday, Oct 27th, I’ll select one lucky member from the Cult of Zero as the winner! If you’re already a member, you’re already entered in the drawing! If you aren’t a member, well… why the hell not? I think I’ve given away a dozen cool prizes over the past year and I’ve yet to send out a single newsletter, so your odds of winning something cool like DVDs, Blu-Rays and movie tickets is better than your chance of actually getting dark fiction news from me anyway!

What’s The Catch?

No catch. But there is some fine print.

If the winner does not respond within 24 hours, or cannot provide a mailing address meeting the requirements above, I’ll select another winner.
