Annabelle Comes Home Artifact Tour AZ June 23rd 2019  Review

6/24/2019

Annabelle Comes Home Artifact Tour June 23rd. I wish there was any entertainment in line for this. They really could have done much more. The staff also could have been in character and made it more real and entertaining. You are promoting this movie use every single minute you have with your audience and
make a GOOD lasting impression.
No TV playing a trailer, no actors, no characters, no line/audience involvement noting. The truck its self was kinda cool, but no Annabelle doll just an illusion of her. Because of the disappointment of most of the audience, you may get people not wanting to see the movie or boycott it. People time is valuable, and stealing it from them is wrong, and being dishonest and misleading is wrong and hurtful. I hope you all can learn from this and grow. Thanks to me and my silliness and being my own entertainer I was able to have fun, but my friend and hearing others around me they were not having fun and getting upset. Annabelle being as big as she is, and getting the long lines means something, and you all
messed it up, and even hurt people. Not cool!

Good news for disappointed fans who attended
the 'Annabelle Comes Home' event in Phoenix

​Guests showed up to the "Annabelle Comes Home" truck tour expecting to see the horror-movie doll in real life. 

Well, they didn't. Instead, a projection of the doll was featured, which left some people feeling, well, horribly disappointed. 
Warner Brothers listened. Now, there will be two chances to see a replica of the creepy "Conjuring" franchise's iconic doll.
"We are going to offer a solution for people who want to see the doll," says senior account executive Patrick Brogan of Allied Global Marketing.
Brogan says guests can get another chance to see Annabelle at the horror-themed convention Mad Monster Party from Friday, June 28 to Sunday, June 30. Guests will have to pay $30-$70 for weekend convention admission to see the doll at We-Ko-Pa Resort.
Want more stories about the best things to do, eat and see in the Valley? Subscribe to azcentral.com for guides, reviews and expert advice.
Fans can also see Annabelle for free late at night at Harkins Tempe Marketplace. From Saturday, June 29, from 8 p.m. to close and Sunday, June 30, from 6 p.m. to close, guests can take selfies with the doll as she sits behind a protective glass case guarded by security. 
"People are welcome to come to Harkins Tempe Marketplace to see the doll, take photos," Brogan says. "They just can't touch the doll."

Where was Annabelle in Phoenix?Due to miscommunication between Warner Brothers and Allied Global Marketing, it turns out the Annabelle prop doll from the "Conjuring" franchise was not at the free "Annabelle Comes Home" truck tour stop on Saturdayand Sunday at Chase Field.
To be transparent, The Arizona Republic reported information from a press release that the event would be at Cityscape, and the doll would be at the event to celebrate the premiere of "Annabelle Comes Home," in theaters June 26.



Fans line up for a scary encounter with Annabelle Patrick Breen, Arizona Republic
Even though it was confirmed before publishing the original story that the real prop would be there, only a projection of the creepy artifact made a ghoulish appearance.
In the truck, azcentral.com reporter Kerry Lengel says that there were "various old and spooky-looking objects line the shelves, and some of them come to life as you walk past. Several artifacts, including an old wedding dress and a suit of samurai armor, figure prominently in the new film."



Aren Dullas from Tempe says it took five hours for her and her friends to get into the truck.
"I know people were kind of mad because they thought something was supposed to happen when they saw Annabelle," she says. "So it was like, 'What the heck did we actually wait for?' Personally, I wouldn't have waited in line. I'm not mad because I know news articles can be falsely reported."


"Annabelle Comes Home" follows the story of a babysitter who unknowingly finds herself in a night of terror as Annabelle and other demonic artifacts target Ed and Lorraine Warren's daughter.
Mad Monster Party ArizonaWhen: 6-11 p.m., Friday, June 28. 11 a.m.-7 p.m., Saturday, June 29. 11 a.m.-5 p.m., Sunday, June 30.
Where: We-Ko-Pa Resort, 10438 N. Fort McDowell Road in Scottsdale-Fountain Hills.
Admission: $30-$70 in advance, $35-$80 at the door (cash only). $199 for VIP.

WHY COMICS?

Some of you may be asking yourself, "Why would librarians be encouraging people to read comics? Don't they only like seriousbooks?" The truth is librarians love reading of all kinds!
Comics and graphic novels can encourage literacy and boost reading skills in many ways.

  • Images provide the context necessary to help build vocabulary for ESL & reluctant readers
  • The slow pace of analyzing images and pausing in between panels encourages time to reflect and build reading comprehension
  • Colorful graphics and exciting story lines can captivate attention span & interest
  • Reinforces Common Core standards by reinforcing visual and verbal literacy
  • There are now graphic novels & comics that are creative, enjoyable pieces of literature for all ages

Out of This World Adventure at IDEA Museum in Mesa AZ

UZA Founders Ray and Sydoney Banks went on an adventure to a galaxy far, far, away.  They went to an event called Sci-Fi Family Day at a galaxy named Mesa, Arizona on a planet called IDEA Museum.  They had a blast at IDEA Museum.  IDEA Museum inspired Ray and Sydoney along with countless others to experience their world differently through art, technology, science, creativity, and imagination.  They made masks, built robots and raced them, took photos with a green screen wall, doodled and made artwork, even had tea with the Mad Hatter, and so much more.  They even met up with some friends of theirs the Arizona Ghostbusters and had a great, fun time with them.  We believe that everyone should come and try out this wonderful planet in the Mesa, Arizona galaxy.  Come and enjoy the day by having your own adventures at planet IDEA Museum like we did.  It really is a blast for the whole family and all ages.  We hope you have your IDEA Museum adventure soon!!

Ray and Sydoney are safely back at home now and they will never forget their exciting encounter that they had on that mysterious “out-of-this-world” day.




*Hint* They might have even brought a little something or someone back with them!

CASA GRANDE

Casa Grande Comic Con runs from 1 to 4 p.m. on Saturday. It’s free and open to all ages.

The event is a chance for children and adults to don a superhero cape and mask and visit the library, said Youth Services Librarian and event organizer David Brown.

It’s expected to attract plenty of Deadpools, Batmans, Harry Potters and other characters.

Last year, more than 400 people attended the event and this year, with expanded offerings, organizers expect a greater turnout.

“This year’s event is going to be bigger and better,” Brown said.

Among the events this year are:

n Drawing demonstrations by comic book artists;

n Makeup tutorials by United Zombies of America;

n Interaction with Tucson’s Copper Queen Roller Derby Team;

n Information and giveaways by Casa Grande Paranormal Investigators;

n Professional cosplay costume workshops hosted by ThermoCosplay;

n Martial arts demonstrations; and

n Costume contests and raffles.

The event aims to celebrate all fictional characters from popular stories, not just comic book or graphic novel heroes.

“Libraries across America are becoming hubs for comic-con type gatherings for people interested in characters from graphic novels, comics, film, television and popular culture,” Brown said.

Some library patrons are fiction fans and travel to San Diego for large comic conventions or to Phoenix or Tucson for mid-sized events, but Brown said many don’t have the means to attend out-of-town gatherings.

“We wanted to provide them with a similar experience,” he said.  

Casa Grande Comic Con is the library’s end-of-the-summer finale and signals the conclusion of its summer reading program, in which children earn prizes for reading for a specified amount of time every day.

Costumes are optional.


Vista Grande Library is at 1556 N. Arizola Road.

Zombies on the prowl


Posted: Tuesday, July 12, 2016 8:29 am

By MELISSA ST. AUDE Staff Writer

CASA GRANDE

Zombies will be on the prowl Saturday in Casa Grande.

Complete with blood and bruises, the living dead will take their place among the superheroes, ghost hunters, roller queens and popular comic book and sci-fi characters roaming about the Vista Grande Library Saturday as the second annual Casa Grande Comic Con gets underway.

United Zombies of America, a Phoenix-based professional entertainment group, plans to offer a “Bruises, Blisters and Gore” workshop during the event, teaching others how, with a bit of makeup, they too can transform into any type of eerie and spine-chilling  — or cute and lovable — character.

For Sydoney Banks, founder of United Zombies of America, being a zombie isn’t all about blood and gore.

“We are not just a monster horror group,” she said. “We do many things and they may often involve monster-type characters and horror. We really do so many things — photography, makeup, videos, classes, panels, workshops, improvisation, security, volunteering, social media, advertising and more.”

The family-friendly group’s motto is “The family that scares together stays together.”

They’ll host a makeup class Saturday at 3:15 p.m. at the Vista Grande Library.

“This is a great beginner class for those interested in makeup for any character or event,” Banks said.

United Zombies of America will have a booth at Casa Grande Comic Con offering information about the group. UZA’s Ray Digger “The Grave Digger” will wander throughout the event, offering free photos with participants.

The group, which was founded in 2012, is no stranger to comic conventions. They’ve taken part in the Tempe, Apache Junction and Yuma Library comic con events as well as the Amazing Arizona Con, Mad Monster and various thespian festivals throughout the year.

This year is their first participating in Casa Grande’s Comic Con.

“UZA loves doing various types of cons, especially library cons, because we love giving back to the community,” she said. “We support anti-bullying and paying-it-forward.”  

She said people love zombies for many reasons, including the realism and the feeling that “it is more apt to happen futuristically to humans.”

“Of all the monsters there are, zombies might be the most realistic because they tend to occur from diseases, viruses, toxic spills, mutations, science experiments, attempting to reanimate the dead and more,” she said.

With recent books, comics, movies, games, video games, cartoons, toys, clothing and television shows that portray zombies, the monsters are enjoying a surge in popularity.

And while some enjoy being frightened by the characters, others enjoy doing the scaring.

Banks fell in love with zombies after performing at the “Haunting Haunted House” in 2009 and 2010 with her family and friends, Jess Acridge, Casey Corbin, Kristen Cline and others. UZA was started by the group soon after to help Banks explore her dreams, help others with theirs and to provide entertainment and fun, she said.

Many of its members are performers who appreciate the lore, makeup and creepiness of the living dead and some have received theatrical training from various organizations such as Disney, Universal Studios and professional haunted house experiences.

The group performs at events throughout the year.

UZA specializes in makeup and special effects and has its own live interactive game, “Zombie Attack,” which travels throughout the state.

But as a child, Banks was never intrigued by monsters or horror and didn’t tend to watch horror movies.

“I did love Halloween, the costumes and decorations even more than the candy,” she said.

Banks was 15 when she was assigned as the lead zombie in her first haunted house acting roll. In that role, she learned about monsters, horror, haunted houses and other characters.

That year, she won the season’s top actress award for the haunted house and since then has participated in other professional haunted houses each year, including “Rob Zombies Great American Nightmare” in 2014.  

Someday, she’d like to open her own haunted attraction that would be open throughout the entire year.

The group is family friendly and has members of all ages. For more information or to join, visit www.united-zombies-of-america.com or visit the booth at Casa Grande Comic Con.

the Casa Grande Dispatch Newspaper an article about Casa Grande Comic Con.


 Melissa St. Aude Staff Writer & Valley Life Editor
Casa Grande Dispatch Newspaper Q & A UZA Founder Sydoney A.A. Banks.


 Q. Tell me a little bit about United Zombies of America - what's it all
 about and how did it start?              

A.  United Zombies of America (UZA) is a professional entertainment group that officially began in the spring of 2012.  We are actors/performers, artists, educators, jacks of many trades, so to say.  We are NOT just a monster/horror group, but we do many things and they may often involve monster-type characters and/or horror.  We really do so many things: photography, makeup, videos, classes/panels/workshops, improvisation, security, volunteering, social media, advertising and even more.  We support Anti-bulling and Paying It Forward.  We are a family friendly (all ages) group and we believe that “Families that Scare together Stay together!” UZA began because Sydoney Banks, founder of UZA, fell in love with horror and zombies through performing at “The Haunting Haunted House” in 2009/2010 with her family, Jess Acridge, his family, Casey Corbin, Kristen Cline, her family and others.  They all helped her find her passion and her purpose in life.  UZA began so she could explore her dreams and to assist others with theirs and to provide entertainment and fun for all. 

 Q. Why are you participating in Casa Grande's Comic Con?

 Did you take part last year as well? 

                                 Do you do other comic conventions as well?                                                                                                                             

A. This is our first time to participate in Casa Grande’s Comic Con.  Sydoney found it on Facebook and jumped at the chance to be involved with it.  UZA loves doing various types of cons, especially library comic cons.  UZA loves giving back to the community.  We have done the Tempe, Apache Junction, and Yuma Library Comic Cons as well as Amazing Arizona Con, Mad Monster, YumaCon and more. 

 Q. What can people expect when they see your organization at Casa Grande's Comic Con? I understand you'll be doing makeup demonstrations? 
Will zombies wander around the event as well?                         

A. UZA will be doing a makeup and SFX class at 3:15pm called “Bruises, Blisters, and Gore!”  This is a great beginner class for those interested in makeup for any kind of character or event.  We even had someone from a group that does emergency drill events come to get more information on how to do makeup on accident participants.

UZA will have a booth with our information and some other UZA favorites as well.  We will have UZA’s Ray Digger The Grave Digger wandering the comic con for free photos with any interested attendees.  Sydoney will have her cameras ready to take the free photos/videos and she will put them on Facebook after the comic con is over and after she edits them, so this may take her a day or two.  Be sure to get a flyer from Sydoney telling where you can retrieve your photo from and where you can share your own photos with us. 

 Q. What is it about zombies that people find so entertaining? 
Can you tell me a little bit about why you are interested in zombies?

 
A. Some of the reasons people may be interested in zombies could be that of all the monsters there are, they might be the most realistic, because they tend to occur from diseases, viruses, toxic spills, mutations, science experiments, attempting to reanimate the dead, and more.  So maybe we feel that it is more apt to happen futuristically to humans.  Haitian voodoo zombies have even been reported and written about.  There are books, comics, movies, games, video games, cartoons, toys, clothing, and television shows that portray zombies for our entertainment.  Some people enjoy being frightened while others enjoy frightening them.  This year on July 4, AMC with Greg Nicotero opened, “The Walking Dead Experience” at Universal Studios in California.  They created it so people could feel what it is like to face zombies at specific places from the show.  Sydoney really wants to go and experience this attraction for herself.
Sydoney never really felt anything for any monsters or horror growing up and she did not know much about any of them either, because she did not grow up watching them.  She did love Halloween, the costumes and decorations, even more than the candy. 

During her first haunted house acting role she began learning more about monsters, horror, haunted houses, and cons and she continues to keep learning more about the entire industry to this day.  She was only 15 years old and assigned as the lead zombie, graveyard lead and trainer for the graveyard and all the zombies.  She even won “Actress of the Season” for 2009/2010.  She has done other haunted houses each year since then including, “Rob Zombies Great American Nightmare” in 2014.  She now loves zombies and working in haunted houses.  She hopes to run her own haunted attraction.  She would love for it to be open throughout the entire year. 

Horror is great, but UZA is so much more!  

Please come by and see us at Casa Grande’s Comic Con
 on Saturday, July 19, 2016.

Thank you for interviewing UZA!  We would love to meet all of you and get a photo with you and Ray Digger at the Comic Con.

UZA will be doing a makeup and SFX class at 3:15pm called “Bruises, Blisters, and Gore!”  This is a great beginner class for those interested in makeup for any kind of character or event.  We even had someone from a group that does emergency drill events come to get more information on how to do makeup on accident participants.

UZA will have a booth with our information and some other UZA favorites as well.  We will have UZA’s Ray Digger The Grave Digger wandering the comic con for free photos with any interested attendees.  Sydoney will have her cameras ready to take the free photos/videos and she will put them on Facebook after the comic con is over and after Syd edits them, so this may take her a day or two.  Be sure to get a flyer from Sydoney telling where you can retrieve your photo from and where
 you can share your own photos with us.

UZA Zombie Attack Live Game - Blackout


Yes it is true UZA Zombie Attack Live Game -Blackout is coming to LibraryCON!
We are so very excite to be Re Re Opening it at LibraryCON 2016! Unfortunately we can not do the ALL NEW Blackout because it has to be at night in the dark.

Make sure to bring your dancing shoes and zombie stabilizing skills!   I hope you are all ready for UZA Zombie Attack! 


www.facebook.com/UnitedZombiesofAmericaZombieAttackGame


We also created our own “ZOMBIE ATTACK” game also known as “Plants VS Zombies” at Comicon 2012 and 2013. UZA Zombie Attack is a game that travels throughout Arizona. It can be scary or “family friendly” for kids or scaredy cats. Game description: Zombie Attack is an interactive game. Outside of a big tent you stand behind caution tape. Zombies come at you from inside the tent. You have to "Stabilize" the Zombies by throwing balls at them, before they get to you. We can make the game as easy or as hard as you want it to be. Depending on the time of day and the location played at there can be lights and fog inside the tent. The lights go to music that is used for the game and for the time waiting between games. The entire game has music you play to and it comes with a soundtrack made for the game and its own DJ.

Going with UZA and Sponsoring

Please support all of our friends and sponsors who help make this possible. It take a lot of blood, sweat and tears to put any kind of event on. Please thank them and support them 
Thanks you also much!
