Ah, Mr. Lobo promised that he would have information about his upcoming Halloween special, make that, Loboween special, for us.......... and here it is!

Indeed this spooky holiday season just wouldn't be the same without the horror host icon, Mr. Lobo, and his nationally syndicated series. "Cinema Insomnia". The show has, over the past decade, become as much a Halloween staple as pumpkins, candy corn, "It's The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown" and Elvira's boobs.

This year Lobo has pulled out all the stops, producing a two night "Cinema Insomnia" holiday event, featuring the national debut of Eric Miller's film, "Mark of the Damned", in which the host with the most makes a special cameo.

On the second night of this unique event, Mr. Lobo and the entire cast, will take a heart felt break from their usual comedic fair to pay a special tribute to one of the shows biggest fans, known simply as Katie, who passed away earlier this year.

I could sit here all night typing away about this truly amazing "Cinema Insomnia" Halloween special, but that's what press releases are for. Here are the damned details:

Cinema Insomnia is launching its new season with the premiere of the new indie film Mark Of The Damned by Eric Miller in a special two part Lobotacular!
