When you think of Orlando, you may think of Mickey Mouse and the tourist-filled, neon-lit strip of International Drive. However, now all I see is Mickey’s zombiefied clone terrorizing tourists and International Drive becoming a twisted nightmare of ghoulish zombies … oh and Jake Busey.
My family has some strange traditions. For the last three years, we’ve packed up the whole crew to go to Orlando for the horror-themed convention Spooky Empire (formerly known as Screamfest). It’s a three-day-long event full of celebrity panels, vendors selling gory goods and infamously wild late night pool parties. Read more about Spooky Empire and watch the video after the jump….
Upon arrival this year, we ventured over to TGI Friday’s across International Drive where the annual Deadite Empire Zombie Walk takes place. We were greeted by a swarm of half-zombified patrons, horror movie celebrities and a mix of very confused looking tourists. At Spooky Empire, check your sense of reality at the door as, you never know what might be lurking around the corner. I almost spit out my brains when I saw actor Jake Busey juxtaposed with a towering, drag version of Elvira. Last year we caught actor Malcolm Mcdowell (Clockwork Orange) meticulously eating a banana in Starbucks and a Zombie Jesus using the ATM. One tip about Spooky Empire… never forget your camera and a good twisted sense of humor.
