FOX’s Gotham Pilot Preview

One of falls most anticipated new shows has definitely got to be FOX’s Gotham. Having recently been given a special screening of the show’s highly anticipated pilot, we were delighted to see the great story that unfolded and showcased the direction the show would take fans. Exploring the formative years before Batman started saving lives in Gotham, the show follows new police detective James Gordon, played by the incredibly talented Ben Mackenzie, and his journey into exploring the dark underbelly of the corrupt city of Gotham. After the tragic murders of Thomas and Martha Wayne, Gordon and his partner, Harvey Bullock, played by Donal Logue, begin traversing the crime ridden city, uncovering clues to the killer’s identity and turning over stones that may be better left unturned. Organized mobsters, corrupt police and city officials, and a city where the corrupt thrive and the innocent submit or die, Gotham is a gritty crime drama that is a mixture of old school noir and true to form comic book storytelling. The drama also does a fantastic job of introducing some of Gotham’s most notorious villains and vigilantes before they became said villains and vigilantes. Gotham premieres Monday, September 22nd, 2014 on FOX!

On Request Magazine’s ScareLA 2014 Review!

One of the biggest highlights of our year thus far is the sheer number of opportunities we’ve had to attend some of the biggest conventions in Southern California. From Warped Tour to Vidcon 2014, this year has brought a lot of highlights that have opened up whole new worlds for our magazine to cover. One such event took place on August 9-10th, 2014, and that was the annual horror convention, ScareLA 2014!

Convening in Los Angeles, CA at The Reef, (formerly known as the L.A. Mart), the horror based convention opened up in spectacular fashion. Guests exited the elevator onto the show floor, and were greeted by a suspenseful and horrific sight. As creepy piano music begin to play a seemingly familiar tune, dolls begin to pop out of cribs and toy chests underneath a single corner light, and that tune’s lyrics are artfully written out on a nearby chalkboard, “Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep,” followed by a piercing scream that is part human, part something inhuman, followed by people corralling monsters onto another elevator. This spectacular display is but the beginning of the hit ScareLA 2014!

Dedicated to the latest and greatest in this upcoming years Halloween events, the convention showcases professional Hollywood makeup artistry, the upcoming releases of horror films, television and more! Operating on two floors of the Reef, Halloween and Horror vendors big and small fled to ScareLA, including Knotts Scary Farm, Universal Studios Halloween Horror Nights, The Queen Mary’s Dark Harbor, Ghost Train at Griffith Park, and Wicked Lit’s performances at Mountain View Mausoleum and Cemetery. One of the biggest announcements came from Halloween Horror Nights, who showed up with John Landis, legendary director who announced along with the creative team behind the yearly event that his film, An American Werewolf in London, would be the latest property to become one of the event’s mazes.

ScareLA 2014 was a horror and Halloween lover’s fantasy convention, bringing together the best that the holiday has to offer. From the fun and creative nature of costume and haunted house design, to the frightful terror of professional haunted attractions and horror films, the convention was one of the summer’s biggest highlights, and we here at On Request Magazine look forward to seeing what ScareLA 2015 brings next year!
