Indie Film: ‘Damnationland’ gives seven filmmakers a horror show
“Damnationland” is kind of a big deal. The horror anthology film is a first in Maine movie history with seven professional local filmmakers and seven new original short films combined to create one very scary-looking, completely original horror flick. Don’t believe me? Check out the (NSFW) trailer at www.damnationland.com. I’ll wait. See what I mean? […]

Since 1962, Norway has been the home of the Western Maine Art Group, founded by a Hungarian art […]
Off Beat: Eat the creepy eats, and walk the creepy walk
The undead are well fed on Tootsie Pops and Smarties during the Halloween season. But what’s a long-deceased fellow have to do for a bite to eat the rest of the year? It’s not like the decrepit guy can wander into Hannaford for some tater tots and a liter of Pepsi. He’s already tried, and […]
