Dinner for Fiends: Death Racing Out of the Closet

I don’t know what it is about discussing a Paul W.S. Anderson movie, but for some reason it made us all really ... gay. The homosexual under and overtones in this Dinner for Fiends made us all take a long, hard look at our own sexuality. We found it disturbing.

Exclusive Look at Minions of Ka!

For the last few months we’ve been trying to implant as much knowledge as possible about Minions of Ka, the badass zombie graphic novel we’re involved with that’s debuting at Dragon*Con today.

Minions of Ka Presents Jack Ketchum's The Western Dead

Jack Ketchum. A man whose name has been synonymous with horror for as long as I can remember. A man whose works, when I was growing, were spoken of with reverence by those who knew everything there was to know about horror writing, works so terrifyingly real that they were too much for even the most hardcore of readers.

Introducing The Minions of Ka!

For the last few months we here at Dread Central have been working with a group of incredibly talented writers and artists on a new project that we hope is going to change the way the horror community thinks about the undead.

Your First Look at Minions of Ka!

All right, I wanted to wait until next week to give you guys a heads up on this, but this is too juicy to pass up. Dread Central is getting involved in a very cool project that will begin with a graphic novel called Minions of Ka and will end, we hope, on a global level. This is something that’s going to bring all fans of horror together with one of the coolest zombie stories you’ll ever hear. Needless to say, we’re very excited by it and the people we’re working with.

Interview by: Johnny Butane Back at Rock and Shock 2007, some old friends of ours from back in the Dark Days hooked up with us again, wanting to work with us on a very ambitious set of projects celebrating the undead: the graphic novel Minions of Ka and the online game/social network Project Outbreak: Track the Strain.com. At the time we were, of course, excited, but since we’ve been involved with so many projects that never came to fruition, we were a bit gun-shy as well. Turns out it was unfounded because Minions of Ka is debuting at this weekend’s Dragon*Con in Atlanta, and Track the Strain.com is live and in charge! So what's it all about? Instead of trying to explain it all myself, I sat down with co-creator/writer Mike Furno and co-creator/editor Dave Wilbur to find out. Dig on the results below!
