Gore Orphanage

[GORE ORPHANAGE had its premiere Saturday July 11th at the Sandusky Theatre in Sandusky, OH.]

Review by Mike Salamone

Saturday July 11, 2015 at the Sandusky State Theater in Sandusky, Ohio was a magical night as the much anticipated film GORE ORPHANAGE had it's world premiere. Starting off with a "meet and greet" with the cast and crew, followed by the "Red Carpet Ceremony" where cast and crew we're delivered in vintage era cars and announced as they walked the red carpet. I was lucky enough to walk with my friend Maria Olsen, who stars in the film as Mrs. Pryor, Head Mistress of the orphanage. Her character is more concerned with the money coming in than the children. She does spend quality time with the children though, making them degrade themselves in chants and even physically hitting them at times.

Local publishers Edward Mishic and Mike Salamone keep print zines alive in Cleveland

Interview by Bob Ignizio

With the Internet making it possible for practically anyone to share their opinions via blogs, websites, and social media, you might think there's no place in the world anymore for homemade printed fanzines. And yet, there are still those dedicated souls who see the value in creating something tangible. People like Clevelanders Edward Mishic, publisher of Crimson Screens, and Mike Salamone, publisher of Bloodfeast, Inc. As you might guess from the titles, both fanzines deal with horror and exploitation movies, an area of film fandom that I have a great deal of love for myself, but don't often get the chance to focus on here at the Cleveland Movie Blog. I recently interviewed both Ed and Mike about their zines, and why they prefer print to pixels, and here's what they had to say.
