This past Saturday, David and I attended Crue Fest 2, the sequel to last year’s celebration of metal bands and of course Motley Crue. We had been lucky enough to get interviews with Charm City Devils and Drowning Pool, plus we shot some great footage that hopefully will be cut and ready for the site soon (approval pending- explanation below).
We arrived at the venue (Nissan Pavilion) at 2pm. The skies looked ominously dark and seemed ready to burst at any moment. By the time I hunted down my “contact” and was heading toward the tour buses for our first interview with Charm City Devils, the skies were rumbling and explosively unleashed a downpour. Luckily, Charm City Devils were kind enough to offer us some paper towels to dry off.
Charm City Devils were an awesome band to chat with. In case you are unfamiliar with these upcoming rockers, they

Oh, what might have been! Alison Lohman gives a terrific performance as the cursed loan officer Christine Brown in Sam Raimi's Drag Me to Hell, which opens tomorrow. If not for the vagaries of scheduling, though, Ellen Page would have played the lead role. Would Page have been any better? We'll never know, but she joins a long list that inspires thoughts of 'What if ...?'
Once upon a time, we might have seen Leslie Howard as the titular Frankenstein and Bela Lugosi as The Monster. Instead, Colin Clive played the good doctor, Boris Karloff got a jump-start on life, and the rest is horror history. Here are seven more recent examples of actors and actresses who were considered for key roles in great horror films ... and the ones who replaced them, listed in chronological order. [Disclaimer: Based on information provided on IMDb's "trivia" pages, so no guarantees on accuracy.] Better? Worse? You decide.
