Grand Prix Lincoln Playmat Art

According to this site, here is a preview of the Grand Prix Lincoln playmat art. It’s by Ron Spencer, a really wonderful Nebraska artist. I’m considering taking the day off of work so I can get to the event center right at opening – I will be super bummed out if I can’t get my hands on one of these mats!

My semi-retirement from podcasting! Hurray!

The next few months are going to see some big changes in regards to the podcasts we do here at Dead Lantern. Long story short, Round Table and Cold Case Cinema will be on indefinite hiatus and the Splattercast will be sort of directionless. And DeadTrax and Explodey Files will probably continue in their infrequently posted manner.

Why? Well, if you care, I’ve posted why after the jump. If you don’t care, then go watch Episode 2 of Shivers Down Your Spine!

DL Auditions

A big thanks to everyone that came out to the auditions we held for our upcoming feature length slasher film! We had a ton of fantastic performances. So many, in fact, that we were commenting on how difficult it was going to be to decide the major roles. But one thing we do know is this: we have our cast. Now it just comes down to making those tough selections, which we’ll have finalized in the next couple weeks.

Thanks again for making the audition a big success!

You tell ‘em, Chris!

I haven’t gotten too animated about the whole SOPA/PIPA thing, but this quote from MPAA head Chris Dodd is just so brazen, I had to laugh.

“Those who count on quote ‘Hollywood’ for support need to understand that this industry is watching very carefully who’s going to stand up for them when their job is at stake. Don’t ask me to write a check for you when you think your job is at risk and then don’t pay any attention to me when my job is at stake,”
