The giant skull on the front of a building on I-Drive always made me think of Skeletor’s Castle from my old He-Man toys. Now all the space will do is house an outlet T-shirt shop and 3 Starbuck’s Coffee bars.
Skull Kingdom,one of Orlando Florida’s Landmark Attractions on International Drive. It was a Year-Round Walk-through Haunted House for about 10 years, A Giant Castle with a Skull on the front. They started demolition on Friday,27th July 2007 and will be finished by the end of Saturday the 28th. They started with the iconic Skull Facade, which seemed solid for the years came down like 2 kids attacking a pinyata with chainsaws.
This video is the first in a series, including several from the auction of the interior props and accessories from Skull Kingdom. Robert, who recorded this video, also goes by Bunny, and he performs with the Rich Weirdoes, our own local Rocky Horror cast, at Universal CityWalk’s megaplex theatre.
I also know Bunny does an evening over at Stardust where he dresses up like Groucho Marx and reads poetry. I’ve at least seen it happen once. If I find out any more info about this, come back to this post for dates or links.
This might be Orlando Video’s first revlogging via camera phone, but let’s hope it’s not the last. If you have a camera phone or an interesting video from your friend’s phone, email me at < liberatr AT gmail DOT com > and I’ll see if we can’t get it posted here. I’d also love someone to take up some of the burden of blogging around here. If you want the job, we can share.
OrlandoVideo.TV loves SOLMI (The Society of Likeminded Individuals), as is evidenced by our past coverage. They’ve been making some new videos lately after a hiatus of about 9 months, but everything they’re putting out is just great. Today, I noticed… well… holy hell, zombies!!
I think Brian and Meagan are fantastic on camera (even if I miss the sexual tension from the LOFTS), and I often wonder if Brian has taken improv classes in his past. Their storytelling is awesome, but the critic in me is asking for more Laugh-Out-Loud moments. This is a question of writing, and not meant to take away from the quality of everything else in this video. I’d love to see a list of locations for this short – it feels like there are about 20. Props to Jason and the crew on having some great sound and camera work as well.
If you’re into that sort of thing, please Digg this video for SOLMI.
If you’d like your own compliment sandwich, or you know of a locally-made video you want to see revlogged here, please email me at , liberatr AT gmail DOT com >. Peace.
Mark recently took his 45-minute, fully improvised one-man musical to the New York City Fringe Festival. From the looks of it by this video, he rocked the house. Improv Cabaret got some good reviews in New York, and I know Mark really loves performing. He’s a multidimensional guy with a lot going for him. At this moment he’s rehearsing for the national tour of Irving Berlin’s I Love a Piano, and it’s a shame they’re only passing through Florida.
If you have a better video than this, I’ll hand over the password to OrlandoVideo.TV, no questions asked. If you have a video that’s almost as good, I still want to share it with the world. Please email me at < liberatr AT gmail DOT com >.
In this crazy hurricane we call Internet Video, I get a jones for finding things that were made in my backyard. I hope these little blogs can bring a bit of that joy to you, and maybe help you make a new friend. It's the least I can do.
