I Heart Horror Day Returns To Sayreville

On Saturday, February 10th, the Brothers Cuneo, in association with Cryptids and Paranormal Productions presents I Heart Horror Day Part 2 at VFW Post 4699, located at 575 Jernee Mill Road in Sayreville. Centering this year around a "Mardi Gras Massacre" theme, this event was created to raise money for The Deborah Heart & Lung Center in Browns Mills. Last year, this event raised $6,000 for the hospital. Anyone who has ever been treated at Deborah knows that they work with you if you have trouble paying for your treatment.

The entrance donation is $15.00 per adult or $7.00 for the little monsters aged seven through twelve. To help with directions, it should be noted that this venue is across the road from Starland Ballroom. This year also marks the fact that I Heart Horror Day is now recognized as a New Jersey Non-Profit Corporation! The Brothers Cuneo are not just organizers but also fans, as this can be heard by the enthusiasm in their voices when they speak about this event and horror movies in general.

In addition to food, raffles and giveaways, there will be live music, horror and paranormal themed authors, artists, filmmakers, crafters, vendors and speakers. Cosplay is definitely encouraged and appreciated. The live music will contain something for everyone at this all-ages event. The magical blues stylings of Chuck Lambert and Josh Zuckerman, formerly of China White, will be performing. As a member of China White, Zuckerman opened up for acts that included Warrant, Joan Jett, Kix and Dee Snider. As a solo act, he was joined by members of the Blackhearts at select shows.

Other acts include the Rusty Monks, the Ancient Mariners (an Iron Maiden tribute band), The Atomic Bats, Mikell's Plot, The Accelerators, The Zombie Mafia, Altar, Who Killed Marilyn? (a female fronted Misfits tribute band) and Kings Of Rock (an Alice Cooper tribute band). The event will be hosted by Psycho Steve Presents and DJ Markus will be spinning the ghostly tunes. The festivities begin at 11:00am sharp and is advertised as ending when the "Screams Die Down!" Sunday, February 18th, is listed as the "inclement weather date." So, grab your garlic and your crosses and come on out because you are being dared to have a good time for a great cause!
