Corey Feldman stars in the new indie horror film, “6 Degrees of Hell,” which was shot at the Hotel of Horror haunted house in Ross Township, Pa., a few miles north of the Slate Belt. “Uncle Jack’s Hotel of Horror” is besieged by a dark presence after two friends of “Uncle” Jack, Chris and Kellen, unwittingly release a deadly evil by transporting local psychic Mary Wilkins’ collection of haunted objects as props for the popular tourist attraction. At the same time, a local TV ghost hunter, confronts an evil that has haunted him all his life-one he believes is responsible for his sister’s death years ago. His search puts him in the path of a rogue police chief and June-a girl who seems to be the eye of this supernatural perfect storm. They all find themselves connected to the old hotel while the threads of their own personal horrors draw paranormal investigator Kyle Brenner (Feldman) to pull all the threads together.
This movie has turned into a total creep but is an excellent film in many takes especially in the hunter times. Two thumbs up!
Skrillex to Perform in San Fran and Collaborate with Marley
Skrillex will be performing at this year’s Outside Land festival in San Francisco, along with Metallica, Stevie Wonder, Neil Young and Crazy Horse, Jack White and the Foo Fighters. “It’s crazy- if you would’ve shown me this flier a year ago and took it back from the future, I would’ve never believed it” stated Skrillex. Skrillex will also be creating new music and collaborating with Damian Marley. They recently created a remix for the song “Make It Bun Dem”. “It’s staying true to the Rasta lingo,” says Skrillex. “It’s got a traditional dub vibe, but it’s very dancefloor friendly. It caters to his vocals really well.”

Dee Snider, heavy metal singer turned radio host and actor, was the winning Project Manager last night on NBC’s The Celebrity Apprentice and donated $325,000 from fundraising efforts to the March of Dimes.
As a celebrity contestant, Dee used his fame, personal connections and business acumen to raise money and win the task. He endured long hours, grueling deadlines, intellectual challenges, personality clashes and intense scrutiny under the careful watch of Donald Trump and his advisors. However, the challenges were faced head-on in expectation of a greater goal — raising money and awareness for his charity of choice, March of Dimes Bikers for Babies.
