Let The Horror Begin -- 23 Shrieking Nights' Worth -- At Universal Orlando Resort

New Line Cinema's Freddy, Jason and Leatherface Headline Universal Orlando's Halloween Horror Nights 17
Madness, mayhem and horror will be unleashed tonight at Universal Orlando Resort's Halloween Horror Nights - the largest, most intense Halloween event in the country. Jack, The Clown Prince of Halloween, invites you inside his "Carnival of Carnage." Once inside, there's no turning back as curiosity becomes panic becomes fear becomes physical and psychological terror.
This year, Halloween Horror Nights 17 becomes the most extreme, fear- filled event in its history. With its leading cast of modern day horror icons, guests will come face-to-face with New Line Cinema's Freddy Krueger, Jason and Leatherface for the first time ever - and they will find the fear so real they will wish it were just a movie.
The Carnival of Carnage creates an unprecedented level of fear. Universal Orlando is creating more haunted houses, more Halloween-themed shows -- and adding more event nights -- than ever before. And, of course, every carnival needs a clown. And when it comes to clowns, there is only one that is maniacal and twisted enough to be Ringmaster for the Carnival of Carnage. That would be Jack.
Halloween Horror Nights runs 23 nights and features eight all-new haunted houses - three of which are created around New Line's Freddy Krueger, Jason and Leatherface. There will also be four new shows - more than ever before - including a show dedicated to Jack, a tribute to the Rocky Horror Picture Show and an even more excellent and irreverent version of "Bill and Ted's Excellent Halloween Adventure."
Halloween Horror Nights will run from September 28-29 through October 4-7, 11-14, 18-21, 24-28, and Oct. 31-Nov. 3. Advance tickets and vacation packages are on sale now.
Halloween Horror Nights is a special ticket event and is $64.95 plus tax. Florida residents can save up to $30 off the full admission price of Halloween Horror Nights 17 tickets. For more information on discounts and travel packages, or to purchase tickets, guests may call 407-224-5500 or visit the event's website at http://www.halloweenhorrornights.com. Event tickets are also available at the front gate of the theme parks and select outlets such as Publix Supermarkets and Ticketmaster. Because of the event's popularity, tickets are expected to sell out and should be purchased far in advance.
Tommy Lee vs. Kid Rock Battle Being Increased to $5 Million


Las Vegas Entertainer Jeff Beacher Ups the Ante for Rockers
Even if you have been sleeping under a rock these past two weeks, you still would have heard about the Kid Rock and Tommy Lee fight at the MTV Video Music Awards. You would have also learned that about a week ago, Jeff Beacher, the man who was voted by Rolling Stone "The Best Showman on The Strip," had put out an offer for the two to fight in the ring for a $1 million dollar winner-takes-all grand prize. Beacher was quoted by New York Post's Page Six as saying, "What better way to settle their differences then to slug it out in the ring!"
Beacher's initial $1 million dollar offer did not go unnoticed by the boxing elite. Beacher has just teamed up with legendary boxing promoter Bob Arum, now offering the winner of the fight $5 million.
Beacher says, "I've teamed up with legendary boxing promoter Bob Arum and we raised the prize to $5 million. Who better than to partner with than the great Bob Arum to promote this fight and make it a reality! Mr. Arum has put together great fights such as Sugar Ray Leonard vs. Marvin Hagler and Evander Holyfield vs. George Foreman. The sky's the limit on what we can do together with this event."
Beacher's Madhouse is a popular playground in Las Vegas for young Hollywood and mega-celebrities alike.

What's the Most Famous One-Liner of All Time?

Public Gets the Chance to Vote from the 2007 Top 10 List of 'Contenders'
Ask any movie or TV buff what their favorite one-liner is and you're bound to hear such quips as "I coulda been a contender," "I'll be back" and "Is that your final answer." They're unforgettable lines that linger long after the show is over. But which are the most memorable? Boston's legendary Brigham's Ice Cream today announced the results of its first survey to find the Top 10 List of Famous One-Liners of all time.
"Sometimes it takes only a word, or just a few, to become immortalized in film and television history," said Brigham's CEO Chuck Green. "In our first Top 10 List of Famous One-Liners survey, we asked Americans which catchphrases are remembered the most. We also wanted to give the public the opportunity to vote on the one-liner that should be hailed 'King of the World.'"
As determined by the first ever Top 10 List of Famous One-Liners, the
leading contenders are:
Top 10 List (alphabetically)
1. Are you talkin' to ME? Taxi Driver
2. Go ahead. Make my day. Dirty Harry
3. Here's lookin' at you, kid. Casablanca
4. I'll be back. The Terminator
5. I'll have what she's having. When Harry Met Sally
6. Life is like a box of chocolates... Forrest Gump
7. May the force be with you. Star Wars
8. You can't handle the truth! A Few Good Men
9. You had me at hello. Jerry McGuire
10. You're gonna need a bigger boat! Jaws
The Polls Are Now Open
The public now has the chance to vote on which of the top 10 should be crowned the best one-liner of all time. Voting is now open and will close at 5pm EST on Friday, September 28. To cast a ballot, visit http://www.brighams.com or call 800-BRIGHAM (274-4426), ext.257. The election also includes the opportunity for a write-in ballot. The most famous one-liner of all time will be determined by the total number of votes received and be announced on October 1. All those who nominated the #1 pick will receive free Brigham's ice cream and be placed in a random drawing to receive a variety of prizes, including a Wii Game console-Bundle Pack and free Brigham's Pints for an entire year.
To conduct the survey, Brigham's solicited more than 1,000 consumers of all ages throughout the summer. The public was asked to suggest favorite one-liners from movies, television, sports or everyday conversations. From thousands of entries received, Brigham's compiled the Top Ten List of Famous One-Liners.
Brigham's, the makers of such favorite ice cream flavors as The Big Dig and the famous Reverse the Curse, conducted the survey in support of its first pint line that boasts notorious phrases designed to spark immediate interest and recognition, including Bada Bing and Boston You're My Home. Based on the Top 10 findings, Brigham's expects to launch future one-liner pints matched with popular movie and TV quotes. Brigham's, which was founded in 1914, offers a superior line of premium ice cream as well as elan Frozen Yogurt, which are sold throughout New England.
