Just a friendly reminder that the 8th annual Toronto Zombie Walk is only a few days away, starting Saturday October 23rd at pm. The mass of undead corpses seems to grow every year, and with that, the Zombie Walk now requires registration (online registration now closed – see the site for in-person registration), mainly for city logistics purposes. Although you can register on the day, your best bet is to register in advance to save time before the event. If my number is any indicator, they’ve already surpassed 6000 officially…

The Toronto After Dark Film Festival has opened its online box office and released their 2010 lineup. This is the 5th year for the TADFF, which runs from August 13th to 20th at the legendary Bloor Cinema. TADFF’s eclectic mix of horror, sci-fi and other genre pictures often includes a number of films that rarely get Canadian screening, and it’s good to see they’re keeping up with that tradition. Although the whole lineup is solid, like every year, there are a few films in particular that stand out. This time…

Really, the image says it all, but even with the switch from hit web series to TV show, the gang at Pure Pwnage are keeping the premiere screening tradition alive.

The first 2 episodes will have aired on Showcase by then, which means you’ll be getting to see the 3rd…
