The Chicago Horror Film Festival is run by local filmmaker, Jason R. Davis. He is a Chicago filmmaker himself and works hard to help other aspiring filmmakers showcase their work. He works the hardest to show horror films as they typically are the underappreciated gems in film society.

Thanks to everyone who came out to  see Master Ron Fitzgerald at the Fangoria Weekend of Horrors in Chicago March 4th and 5th! Fitzgerald performed at the Gold Patron Celebrity/Dessert Reception and was at the convention for the whole weekend to visit with the fans of Horror! Our thanks to Creation Conventions and our goulish friends at Fangoria Magazine.

 "Magus"
"Wizard Battle" was always a working title for John Lechago's most recient film. It's now named "Magus" Which is Latin for great Magician. This change also gives Fitzgerald the title role in this macabre movie! The film is looking great and is well into post-production.

HALLOWEEN '04 IN HONG KONG!


Fitzgerald's Realm of Magic took the show to Hong Kong for the '04 Halloween season! Incredible as it seems Hong Kong has it's very own Halloween Festival and this year Ron Fitzgerald is the headline entertainer. It was located at The New World Center in Kowloon, HK. The shows took place on weekends thru October starting on the 8th thru Halloween and featured Fitzgerald's trademark dark, sticky, freaky fun! Thanks to all who joined us and all who made these amazing shows possible.  It was a scream!


 
Master Fitzgerald was indeed realdy for Halloween and then some!
The weekend after Halloween he made an apperance at the Sereamfest '04horror convention in Plantation, Fl (Fort Lauderdale).  Ron signed photos and performed on the Saturdy night show with the bands and other special guests. The horror fans raised some hell and had great fun! He's planning a return to the next Screamfest this fall.

 
 
 


New Movie Projects on the Horror Horizon for Fitzgerald
Fitzgerald's next film project with director John Lechago will be "Magus"!
 It's a horror film about a modern day  mad wizard/magician who's out to destroy others of his kind in a quest to take over as thier supernatural master. Ron is cast in the lead role  (his first) as the evil wizard, Magus,  in what we hope will be a new cult favorite. "Wizard Battle" was the working title and later changed to "Magus". Shooting began in September '04  and continued in November with a final round of pick-ups last spring.  We'll keep you posted here in the Realm on further developments and news. For now here are a few sneak preview pics from production.

Fitzgerald has also been cast in "The Thirsting", anotherer horror film, as a rather evil plastic surgeon that does a little 'nip/tuck' on a lovely young patient of his, Tiffany, played by actress Lauren McCarthy. It also stars Mickey Rooney (yes, the famous one) and scream queen Tina Krause as Lilith. The director is Mark Vadik.  This film is currently in post-production.

Ron has also shot an interview and live illusion performance for an upmoming documentary film, "National Vampire",  that explores Vampire/ Goth Culture in the US. It's an exciting and intriguing look into this subculture. Fitzgerald has a main interview and also pops up throughout the film to comment on things ranging form "Buffy" to blood drinking. It's now completed and headed for the festival circut. For more info on this film click the logo link.

The Terror of "BLOOD GNOME"

One of Fitzgerald's most receint projects is "BLOOD GNOME". Directed by John Lechago, this independant horror film is about, yes, Blood Gnomes! These nasty, ancient creatures love blood as much as any vampire and will do anything for it. They are particularly fond of witchcraft, nudity and ritual bloodletting. (Sounds kinky to us, but so do all of Ron's film projects!) Fitzgerald plays the Dungeon Master and puppeteered the "gnomes" in several scene. It also stars Troma scream queen Julie Strain and lucious newcomers, the Porcelian Twinz. "BLOOD GNOME" should be out sometime later in the year. The Realm will tell you when and where. For now here are some pics!

"The Item" Release!!!

KARNIVAL OF CHAOS!

Ron Fitzgerald was on Mancow's Morning Madhouse (Q101 in Chicago) on the day of the show! He went on with a little "psychic voodoo" for the listening audience. Hope you tuned in and freaked out! This vamp could handle the mourning sun!

The Realmlord performed his "Vampire's Kiss" illusion at the Q101-Mancow's Karnival of Chaos!! The date of this big gig was Friday, February 2nd, '01. It took place at the Allstate Arena, Rosemont, IL. The headlining act was Kid Rock and Mancow gave us an evening of killer music, weird sideshow acts and lets not forget the nudity! It was a dark and sticky night to say the least so we hope you freaks were there!
*Big thanks to Q101, Mancow and all the Morning crew, especially Freak's niece Kathy, for a full day of ultra weird fun!! Tarot on the radio and the "Vampire's Kiss" for 25,000 screaming people was bloody great! Hope you got to see and hear it!


"The Item" is a modern art-exploitation flick, written and directed
by Dan Clark and is Ron Fitzgerald's Film debut.
Ron Fitzgerald plays Dr. Ody, a silver clad technophile with an unhealthy attatchment to the creature known as "The Item."
"The Item" is a hybrid psychological thriller, horror film, sci-fi camp extravaganza. It was featured in the 1999 Sundance film festival.
It was released on DVD and VHS tape last November.
It's true weirdness, don't miss it!
