5:45pm: During Xtro I ventured outside to get some dinner. Exhumed had coordinated some local food vendors, and I'd been looking forward to this aspect of the event. Earlier in the day The Dapper Dog served up what looked to be some delicious hot dogs.

I was in a mood for a burger though and Spot Burgers was eager to deliver. I ordered their signature and an order of cheese fries.

Yum!

Exhumed Films' 24 Hour Horror-Thon 2012 Part 1

October 27, 2012

The annual Exhumed Films is officially an "event". After selling out in record time back in August the event finally arrived. I got to the International House around 10am and the line had already wound its way to the back of the lobby. Ticket pickup was  a breeze at the box office and long before we entered the theater at 11am we already had our wristbands and program listing the amount of films and some hints to as what they might be.

I can't say enough about the coordination. From directing us to cheap parking to bringing actual food vendors out (more about that later) the staff at Exhumed have really made this already great event even better.

As we worked our way into the theater we were handed a goodie bag. It had some candy and a pack of Bernie Wrightson trading cards. Cool and unexpected!
