Event Recap
Although the weather did not cooperate, we still had an amazing time on Saturday, 6/13/09. We
had such a good time that many of you requested we do more events like this! We heard, and
are planning more.
The day started a little before 1p when Todd arrived to find people already waiting! The gaming
begins. When Jo and I arrived a little after 1p, Todd and several others had been playing a very
fun looking zombie game (that Todd purchased for future fun). Machetes, zombies and mayhem
- my kind of game.
People started arriving throughout the day. Brian and Ana showed up to game, as did Barry,
Thom, Rev. Pete, Josh, Duckie, Joe, Vicky and Rob. Every time you looked up, someone else
had arrived - take a look at the pics in the slide show!
It was a lot of fun listening to what was going on at the different tables. I think Barry and Brian
may have been cheating at Lord of the Fries after having been beaten by Ana in a previous game
of Tsuro - lol. Todd and his rowdy crew were making up rules for the Order of the Sticks game as
they went along. As Josh stated, "cheat to win!" This was a roomful of fun people truly enjoying
themselves. They may have been having fun playing, but I had fun watching them 'bend the
rules', try to best their opponents and then laugh about it and overall have a good time. You
haven't seen funny until you've seen Brian K and Barry totally dejected because they didn't have
time to get into a game of Battlestar Galactica (Brian thought the little spaceships were neat)
because the pizza had arrived. Todd has promised to plan a future gaming day with Battlestar
Galactica.
Bill went out to pick up the pizza so Todd could continue to game and keep things in relative
order, relative. The pizza arrived, several large Sicilians, and we dug in. The pizza was
delicious. We had a very nice dinner and chatted while we ate. We also had the pleasure of
being joined by our guests for the evening; Warren Disbrow, Deb Taylor, Paul Kellogg, and
Jared Midgen. What a nice bunch of people they were. Very friendly and fit right in.
After dinner, we cleared out the room to set up for the movie. When all was ready we called
everyone back in for Haunted Hay Ride The Movie. We decided to flip the Q & A to after the
movie so we'd have more questions. This movie was fast-paced, gory and will make you rethink
hayrides in the fall. Those innocent pumpkin patches - not so innocent anymore.
Haunted Hay Ride The Movie hit the ground running and did not slow down. As Todd said,
"what was the total body count? I lost track." Twisted guy in freaky mask uses various weapons
in some inventive ways on pretty much anyone he comes across. We were having fun telling the
actors to run, hide, fight back, all the while knowing they couldn't hear us. We also had our
favorite actors - Iggy the Iguana and Mr. Brock (owner of the doomed hayride). It was great having
the makers of the movie in the room - it must have been fun for them. They knew who was
gonna get it and who wasn't; while we had to sit and shout things like, "I hope the car breaks
down." "Run." The funniest was Ana unleashing her inner survivalist. Ana, the sweetest
person, yelling out, "kick him, get a stick, don't just sit there" was hilarious.
Also funny was Rob's frustration that a character he did not like, did not get the comeuppance he
felt was fitting. I can't say anymore or I'll spoil it.
Other notables were the room's shouts of "Iggy, Iggy" - you had to be there. Brian S's wondering
where the guy asking for directions came from, while Brian K had issues with the acid, yes, acid.
After the screening we had our Q & A. Our four guests, Producer/Writer/Director Warren
Disbrow, Still photogapher & Make up artist Deb Taylor, Slay Ride principal actor Paul Kellogg
and Production assistant Jared Midgen, answered all of our questions. Mr. Disbrow took the
time to explain how scenes were filmed, the writing and where his inspirations came from. He
likes classics horror movies as well as current movies. He listed favorites, and talked about his
upcoming movie Haunted Slayride. One of the room's favorite characters, Mr. Brock, was played
by Mr. Disbrow's father. Bill asked, "how could you do that to your dad?" Without missing a
beat, Mr. Disbrow responded, "Well, he gets sewn up in the next one." This is the kind of night it
was.
Mike P enjoyed the movie more than Halloween and told Mr. Disbrow so.
Our guests were friendly, open and responded to our queries for close to an hour and they had a
long ride home. Several of us purchased the movie that they happily signed. We will be looking
for the entire back of Jared's head in the upcoming Slay Ride movie - so far it's intact, but there's
still 4 weeks of filming ;)
We cleaned up and a group continued the night at a diner.
Extremely fun event that we will have more of. Thanks to all who came out to make this event the
fun time it was. Thanks also to our wonderful guests, Warren Disbrow, Deb Taylor, Paul
Kellogg and Jared Midgen. Big thanks to Rob and Vicky for everything.
