SCOTTSDALE, AZ, April 07, 2011 (Press-News.org) Horror Film Icons Sid Haig, Stuart Gordon, Barbara Crampton and Jeffrey Combs have been confirmed as special celebrity guests at the premiere of Charles Band's film in selected cities.
Gearing up towards his theatrical release, Charles Band, as always, goes over the top with a premier scheduled to release in several cities nationwide in 3-D and Sniff-o-Rama. Evil Bong 3-D promises to be not just any movie screening, it is going to be a full event, including celebrity appearances in each city, interactive contests with audience participation and prizes awarded and, of course, Charles Band himself performing his Horror Road Show before each screening. Starting in Chicago on April 9th, then premiering in Tempe Arizona on April 16th and nationwide on 4/20.
Sid Haig is known for his horror characters roles as Captain Spaulding in Rob Zombie's horror films House of 1000 Corpses and The Devil's Rejects. He has appeared in many television programs including Batman, Star Trek, Mission: Impossible, Gunsmoke, The Rockford Files, Buck Rogers in the 25th Century, Fantasy Island, Sledge Hammer!, The A-Team, The Fall Guy, and MacGyver.
Barbara Crampton achieved her greatest enduring cult popularity as sweet college coed "Megan Halsey" in 'Stuart Gordon''s terrific Re-Animator (1985). She gave an excellent performance as the ambitious, but prim and repressed "Dr. Katherine McMichaels" in the equally fine From Beyond (1986). Crampton was quite engaging as the perky "Suzie Lynn" in the fun Chopping Mall (1986) and typically solid as the unhappy "Susan Reilly" in Castle Freak (1995).
Stuart Gordon is a creative horror film director who started his directing career in 1985. He joined with Charles Band and his Empire Pictures to make the company's first big hit, Re-Animator (1985), a modern-day version of the H.P. Lovecraft story with Jeffrey Combs in the lead role.
As a horror film leading actor, Jeffrey Combs is probably best known for portraying Herbert West in the cult horror film Re-Animator (1985). Re-Animator was based on H.P. Lovecraft's famous novel. Combs stayed in the realm of cult films to return when making From Beyond (1986), and Bride of Re-Animator (1990) also from Lovecraft novels. He has also been in some supporting roles in Pit and the Pendulum and the strange FBI Agent with Michael J. Fox in The Frighteners (1996).
It's been many years since one of Band's films has opened in a theater and this time it's a complete carnival of an event with a film premiere, celebrity appearances at each city and the Full Moon Horror Road with Charles Band hosting it. His history as a film maker is amazing.
His filmmaking career spans 300+ films including "Puppetmaster", "Troll" - (The ORIGINAL Harry Potter!), "Oblivion" - (again, the ORIGINAL Cowboys & Aliens!), "Parasite", "Dollman" and too many more to mention.
His premiere of Evil Bong 3D and Sniff-o-Rama is screening in 7 cities starting April 9th in Chicago, then Tempe, Arizona on April 16th, and moving on to other cities. We are proud to be one of the premiere cities showing the film prior to its release date of 4/20.
He is also running three contests for fans to get involved in marketing these events for the Evil Bong 3D movie premiere, all the contests are geared towards local fans in each of the cities.

GOLFIG increased progression-free survival in colorectal cancer patients
2011-04-07
ORLANDO, Fla. — Oncologists can use colorectal cancer patients' own immune system to boost the effects of chemotherapy and increase progression-free survival, according to Phase III study results presented at the AACR 102nd Annual Meeting 2011, held here April 2-6.
Patients with advanced colorectal cancer are typically treated with combination chemotherapy with fluorouracil or the derivative product, capecitabine with or without levofolinic acid with irinotecan (FOLFIRI) or oxaliplatin (FOLFOX) given alone, or with the monoclonal antibodies bevacizumab, cetuximab or ...
Physical health scores predict breast cancer outcomes
2011-04-07
ORLANDO, Fla. — Breast cancer survivors with poor physical health scores had an elevated risk of poorer cancer outcomes, including recurrence and death, according to the results of an observational study presented at the AACR 102nd Annual Meeting 2011, held April 2-6.
Survivors of breast cancer who had poor health scores were 27 percent more likely to experience either a recurrence of their cancer or a new breast cancer. Physical health also impacted survival quite strongly; risk of death from any cause was 65 percent greater among those with poorer health scores.

Strawberries may slow precancerous growth in esophagus
2011-04-07
ORLANDO, Fla. — Freeze-dried strawberries may be an alternative to drugs for the prevention of esophageal cancer, according to research presented at the AACR 102nd Annual Meeting 2011, held here April 2-6.
"We concluded from this study that six months of eating strawberries is safe and easy to consume. In addition, our preliminary data suggests that strawberries can decrease histological grade of precancerous lesions and reduce cancer-related molecular events," said lead researcher Tong Chen, M.D., Ph.D., assistant professor, division of medical oncology, department ...
Fox Chase researchers find that fish oil boosts responses to breast cancer drug tamoxifen
2011-04-07
ORLANDO, FL (April 6, 2011) – Breast cancer is the second most common cancer among women, with more than 200,000 women diagnosed each year. Being exposed to estrogen over a long period of time is one factor that can increase a woman's risk of developing the disease. One way a woman can combat this risk factor is by taking the breast cancer drug tamoxifen, which interferes with the activity of estrogen. Now, researchers at Fox Chase Cancer Center have found that omega-3 fatty acids—abundant in fish—could be a safe and beneficial booster for tamoxifen therapy.

Fox Chase researchers report that naproxen reduces tumors in a mouse model of colon cancer
2011-04-07
ORLANDO, FL (April 6, 2011) – Numerous studies show that non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) reduce the risk of colon cancer. However, animal studies testing the NSAID naproxen or its derivative, NO-naproxen, have focused primarily on chemically-induced tumor formation. Now, researchers at Fox Chase Cancer Center find that naproxen and NO-naproxen reduce tumor formation in a strain of mutant mice that spontaneously develop colon tumors. The data also suggest that naproxen blocks a gatekeeper step that initiates tumor formation.

Healthy welders may be at increased risk for early brain damage
2011-04-07
New research suggests that workers exposed to welding fumes may be at risk for developing brain damage in an area of the brain also affected in Parkinson's disease. The study is published in the April 6, 2011, online issue of Neurology®, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology.
Fumes produced by welding contain manganese. Manganese is a chemical element that, even at low levels, has been linked to neurologic problems, including Parkinson's disease-like symptoms.
"There are over one million workers who perform welding as part of their job functions ...
Genetic variants associated with caffeine intake identified

James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. Solove Research Institute (OSUCCC – James) and researchers in China.
Dr. Tong Chen will present the findings during a press briefing at 8 a.m. April 6 at the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) 102nd meeting 2011 in Orlando, Fla. The study is the first-ever collaborative Ohio State cancer ...
Placing value, price on new drugs: The challenge facing new UK policy, say Hopkins bioethicists
2011-04-07
The United States should pay close attention to how the United Kingdom carries out plans to assess a new drug's worth using factors that go beyond clinical and cost effectiveness, according to researchers at the Johns Hopkins Berman Institute of Bioethics.
In a commentary to appear in the April 7 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine, the bioethicists detail and discuss a new, "value-based pricing" policy proposed by the British government. Up to now, companies have been able to price their drugs freely. But if the new policy is implemented, the U.K. will start ...
