Comic-Con: Con-of-the-Dead Party Company: FEARnet Product: Con-of-the-Dead Party FEARnet, leading cable destination for horror, thriller and suspense content, will team with Capcom and its upcoming Resident Evil 6 videogame and MPI's Dark Sky Films to celebrate the horror genre at Comic-Con this year, hosting "Con-of-the-Dead," an evening party saluting both fans and industry insiders, alike. This invitation-only party will fittingly take place Friday, July 13, at San Diego's gothic-inspired Voyeur Nightclub from 6 to 8:30 PM PT. "Con-of-the-Dead" guests will experience an interactive event complete with playable demo stations featuring Resident Evil 6, a VIP suite decked out by Dark Sky Films, music spun by LA's DJ Amanda Jones, go-go ghoul dancers, customized refreshments and 'zombie-fied' photo booth. Fangoria Entertainment, Screamfest Horror Film Festival and horror-centric websites, DreadCentral.com and Shocktillyoudrop.com will co-sponsor the event, with other partnerships soon to be announced. FEARnet will team up with the 6th Annual Zombie Walk: San Diego, where 300 participating zombies will win admittance to FEARnet's "Con-of-the-Dead" party taking place that same evening. The lucky undead winners will be able to enter the event after completing the walk in San Diego's historic Gaslamp District. "Our main goal at Comic-Con is to build an event that would allow fans to engage with our network firsthand," Block said. "We are excited for the chance to showcase our network to invited members of the media and entertainment industry, as well as selected participants from San Diego's famous Zombie Walk." - Peter Block, President and General Manager of FEARnet The emerging network, now in more than seven million U.S. homes, is expanding into San Diego on June 30, as part of Cox Communications' continued FEARnet rollout. FEARnet will be viewed on Cox's Movie Pak at channel position 311 prior to the start of the international convention. "Cox Communications is an important provider for our rapidly growing popular network. We're thrilled to be distributed on the third-largest cable company in the U.S. as part of Cox's Movie Pak and exclusively deliver genre-themed content in time for 'Comic-Con.' Residents there have a deep appreciation for the genre and we're thrilled to be able to bring them over 300 movie titles a year from our robust film library." - Peter Block, President and General Manager of FEARnet In addition, cast members of FEARnet's first original TV series, "Holliston," featuring Adam Green, Joe Lynch, Corri English, Laura Ortiz and GWAR front man Oderus Urungus will also be on hand, taking part in a panel presentation hosted by a surprise celebrity moderator on Thursday, July 12th, from 8:30 to 9:30 PM. FEARnet will cover the latest genre news at Comic-Con, and continue to produce original content for FEARnet.com, its VOD channel and linear TV network. FEARnet's coverage of Comic-Con is sponsored by Capcom's Resident Evil 6, which will be infecting stores on October 2, 2012 and is currently available for pre-order. -Geck0, GameVortex Communications AKA Robert Perkins Related Links: Official Zombie Walk: San Diego Website Official Fear Net Website Official Fangoria Website Official Dread Central Website Official Shock Till You Drop Website Game Vortex's Resident Evil Content Resident Evil: Retribution Trailer Launch
