Status of Wizarding World of Harry Potter
29Dec09
If you haven't seen any pictures lately on the status of the construction on the Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Islands of Adventure in Orlando, Florida, we recommend you go over to our friends at Screamscape.com and click through the links to recent pictures of the construction. It really looks amazing and we can't wait to get our first look at TWWHP when it opens this spring. RexandtheBeast.com will be there to bring the festivities to you, but for now check out some of these pics and look forward to the excitement!
On a side note, as cool as Harry Potter is going to be, the wizarding nature of it makes me (Rex) wish I could have a drink with Raistlin, Tanis, Fizban and the gang. I miss them and their adventures.

Article on Rex In Denver Business Journal
29Dec09
Well, we wanted to let our readers know about a fun article that was written by the Denver Business Journal spotlighting Rex as an executive (Rex is a corporate attorney by day, for those who may be new to RexandtheBeast.com) with a quirky, fun "hobby." The article is for subscribers only, so we don't have a link to the full article to share, but it was fun to be able to pass along the RexandtheBeast mantra for a new type of readers (the Denver Business Journal is aimed at Denver-region professionals). The tag line that the writer used after interviewing Rex that has resulted in a lot of friends and co-workers complimenting Rex on was "Rex seems to live by the creed 'Its never to late to have a happy childhood.'" Although our "real" childhoods were also happy and great, we at RexandtheBeast.com do believe in carrying that wonderment forward and support that statement entirely!
End of Festival of Fear Tour 2009
04Nov09
Well, as someone once said, "All good things must come to an end." The Festival of Fear Tour 2009 is now over (except for Project Reaper, which will be available for viewing sometime in November).
We still have a number of reviews and podcasts to get up for you on a few of our different trips/haunts, but overall, the Festival of Fear was a resounding success. We met a lot of scareactors (and monsters!), got to interview the owners of a number of haunts, enjoyed the overall flavor of the Halloween season, and even got to finish it off with a little home haunt at the Beast's on Halloween night (kids were lined up at the front door waiting to go through the haunt for almost 3 straight hours).
We still have reviews of Denver-area haunts Field of Corpses and City of the Dead to post, as well as Halloween Horror Nights, and a couple of podcasts on our Florida trip and our local haunt thoughts. So, stay with us while we catch up from the Festival of Fear trips and we will talk to you soon.
Also, keep an eye out for the movie from Project Reaper--I think you will like this one!

Headed Toward Knotts "Scary" Farm
21Oct09
Well, the Beast and I are pretty excited about the LA leg of the Festival of Fear Tour. We fly out to LA tomorrow and are attending Knotts Scary Farm on Friday. 13! houses. Wow. Are these going to be anywhere near the level of HHN and Howl-O-Scream houses? Or are they going to be like local mid-level haunts? It will be exciting to see.
We will try and catch up on the reviews and the podcasts over the weekend and hopefully we will get you completely updated by early next week.
Project Reaper continues to move forward and we are really looking forward to premiering it on RexandtheBeast.com on Halloween weekend (probably).
Talk to you soon.

Status of Festival of Fear--Florida Leg
13Oct09
Well, we had a great trip to Tampa and Orlando to experience Howl-o-Scream and Halloween Horror Nights last weekend. We are working on the reviews and the videos from the trip and should have those up shortly.
We are also still working on Project Reaper and I think horror fans will enjoy it when it is done.
See you soon!

Filming Project Reaper
27Sep09
We wanted to give you an upate on Project Reaper. The Beast and I (along with a friend of RexandtheBeast.com) spent most of yesterday filming various scenes for Project Reaper. We are pretty excited about how they turned out and look forward to continuing the filming to get this fun film prepared for you.
So keep your eyes open and we will scare you soon!
Update on Project Reaper
19Sep09
We wanted to give you an update on Project Reaper. The Beast and I have been working hard on this video project and are really excited about getting this short film out for you in the month of October.
We have had a few discussions with some people who are going to be part of the production team on this project and we believe it is going to come off great.
Without giving too many details at this time, we can guarantee horror fans that they will see some things that will be a little familiar to them!
So, keep it here for more information on Project Reaper and Join the Journey!

Project Reaper
19Aug09
We just wanted to let you know that pre-production of the short horror film that RexandtheBeast.com will be filming this year--codenamed "Project Reaper"--is moving forward nicely. This is an additional piece of the Festival of Fear Tour 2009 for RexandtheBeast.com that we are really excited about.
As a reminder of what we are talking about, as mentioned on numerous podcasts, we (especially the Beast) are huge Halloween and horror movie fans, so since we are doing the great Festival of Fear Tour this year and since you seem to love our videos/movies, we decided how better to meld those themes than with a RexandtheBeast.com horror video/movie.
So, keep it here friends for additional information on Project Reaper--coming soon to a computer near you!
