Spike TV’s Scream 2009: Exclusive Filming Coverage
October 25th, 2009 by Brian White
Saturday, October 17th, 2009…It was a night I will never forget. The filming of Spike TV’s fourth annual Scream 2009 awards will go down as one of the most memorable nights of my life. Not only did fate play a crucial role as an opportunity to provide red carpet coverage presented itself during my already planned vacation time in Los Angeles, but destiny intervened as the stars aligned and I suddenly found myself surrounded by all the actors who have meant so much to me over the years, for better or worse.

The red carpet at the 2009 Spike TV Scream Awards featured stars aplenty and Why So Blu was there to cover all the glitz and glamor that strolled down the hailed walkway that night. Make sure to check out our photo coverage of the red carpet extravaganza 
Welcome to our exclusive red carpet coverage of Spike TV’s Scream 2009 awards ceremony! If red carpet coverage of Scream 2009 is what you desire, then look no more. Words cannot express the exuberant hysteria that overcame my editor and myself, this past Saturday, as we covered the red carpet ceremonial entrance of the stars in what would be the biggest night of the year honoring the best in fantasy, sci-fi, comics and horror. 
We are off to sunny California to hopefully bring back some to-die-for red carpet coverage from Spike TV’s Scream 2009 event taping this Saturday, October 17th in Los Angeles. The 4th annual event commemorates all things sci-fi, fantasy, horror and comic book related. The show will feature the hottest films, TV shows, comics, actors, creators and icons who have influenced and shaped these dramas. 
Although I wanted so badly to be part of this unfortunately we were unable to make this year’s Scream Awards. However, we do have the list of winner’s announced from last night’s slashing show. For those of you who don’t know, the Reaper Awards took place last night at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel in Los Angeles and was presented by Home Media Magazine and DreadCentral.com. 
Usually I would not do something this bold in life, but there was something about these two guys at 
The bi-annual Cinema Wasteland convention in Strongsville, Ohio can provide an excitement-inducing experience of the senses for the horror fan, casual or hardcore. Held at the Holiday Inn, you will find an array of vendors, directors and actors, up close and personal. On October 3rd this year, Why So Blu had the distinct pleasure of speaking with the very talented and stunningly beautiful Cerina Vincent. 
I’ve been telling you all along we have been saving the best Comic-Con 2009 “Exclusive” coverage for last and this story is certainly no exception. Actually, there’s really no story to be told here. This article is more of a visual journey to take in some of the more memorable sights, or should I say women, of Comic-Con 2009. With that being said, if your significant other walks in on you while viewing this page you can simply use the age old excuse that you are reading for the articles of course. Without further ado I present, in pictures, the women of Comic-Con 2009. 
The 6,000 seat capacity Hall H at the San Diego Convention Center was the location for the Kick-Ass discussion panel. Yes I’m being serious and if the ‘me’ from two weeks ago is like most people out there, then we are on the same page in not having a clue what the rather blunt title refers to. Truth be told, it started out as a small independent comic from creators Mark Millar and John Romita Jr. Now it’s a full-fledged film featuring the likes of Nicholas Cage, Christopher Mintz-Plasse (Superbad, Role Models) and Aaron Johnson (The Illusionist). 
You know life is really hard when you have to labor an hour of your time helping your photographer arrange and take pictures of 17 scantily clad metal bikini wearing girls. Such was the painful work I suffered through on Friday, July 24th at the Comic-Con exhibit hall booths of Gentle Giant and Lucasfilm. I am being facetious, but of course. I actually somewhat enjoyed myself! 
Another major attraction at this year’s Comic-Con was G4’s Attack of the Show booth. I’m sure its popularity had nothing to do with the beautiful host and Playboy covergirl, Olivia Munn, always hanging around the booth. I can honestly attest to never seeing the show, however I now see what the appeal is, especially to the young male audience. Olivia earned the crowd’s attention no matter where she was at, and trust me, she was everywhere there. She could be seen participating in panels like the official Lucasfilm panel – Star Wars Spectacular!, signing autographs in the autograph alley, giving away free movie passes and even broadcasting live from the G4 booth. 
Hailed as one of the greatest Halloween films of the past 30 years is a pretty significant accomplishment for a movie that has never been released theatrically. If you were one of the lucky ones admitted into Ballroom 20 at Comic-Con on July 23rd, then you already know the appeal Trick ‘r Treat will have on the countless number of horror fans upon its eventual home video release. 
The tagline says it all. “Don’t fear the end of the world. Fear what happens next.” All right, so maybe it does not, but while I found myself waiting in Hall H for the Kick Ass panel I was treated to a sneak preview of clips showcasing Paul Anderson’s upcoming film Pandorum. It kind of feels like Resident Evil in space if I had to sum it up in one sentence. Paul Anderson always knows how to please sci-fi action junkies so I am sure he won’t disappoint here. The plot of Pandorum pits two crewmembers together waking up on an abandoned spacecraft with no idea who they are, how long they’ve been asleep or what their mission is. They soon discover they’re actually not alone and the result is more horrifying than they could ever have imagined. 
If there is one thing readily available at the 2009 San Diego Comic Con, well, it’s comics. I was privileged enough to speak with a handful of individuals in the industry during my time there this year. It was an enlightening experience to see how the process of working on a book plays out, from start to finish. 
There are a lot of great comic books out there today. Unfortunately, there are a lot of stagnant ones out there too. However, I recently came across one particular title that fits the former, not the latter. Hollyvood is a new series recently released by writer/director Vem and his writing partner Steven Thadeus. The story features a lonely immigrant on his travels from Eastern Europe to the United States in hopes of fulfilling his American dream. Why do I say ‘his’ and not ‘the?’ Well, as you’ll find out in the pages of Hollyvood, everyone has their own version of the American dream.
