Hard rock/heavy metal pundit Eddie Trunk celebrated 40 years in radio on Monday night (December 11th) with an all-star bash at the House of Blues in Las Vegas.
Many of the famous rockers Trunk has encountered and worked with across his four-decade career in the business showed out for the evening to play their respective hits. All proceeds from the event benefitted the Ronnie James Dio Stand Up and Shout Cancer Fund.

Love is in the air this week, and we’re celebrating romance in horror ahead of Valentine’s Day. For horror fans, nothing says romance quite like Peter Jackson’s Dead Alive (aka Braindead outside the U.S.), a twisted love story between meek mama’s boy Lionel Cosgrove (Timothy Balme) and hungry-for-love shopgirl Paquita Maria Sánchez (Diana Peñalver). The film also happens to have just turned 30, released in the U.S. on February 12, 1993.
In celebration of the splatstick horror rom-com’s 30th anniversary, here are 30 reasons we’re still so in love with Peter Jackson’s Dead Alive/Braindead.
30. The ‘50s Setting
Peter Jackson and co-writers Stephen Sinclair and Frances Walsh ensure you’ve never seen the ’50s depicted like this. The story takes place almost entirely in the quaint city of Wellington in 1957. Pastel houses and trolley cars moving down the main street belie the absolute carnage ensuing.
