We Did It! Zac Thompson’s Novel “Weaponized” Will Be Published
A month and a half ago, we posted a story about ex-BD writer Zac Thompson’s body horror novel “Weaponized“. One of the big reasons we wanted to let you all know about it is because we want to honor and showcase what our ex-writers do but also because if Zac sold the most orders of his book out of everyone else involved, then he would get a chance to have his book adapted into a film from Crypt TV and Blumhouse!
It turns out that our support as well as the massive outpouring of help from his friends and other websites not only gave Zac a chance, it catapulted him to the number one slot on Inkshares and ensured that his book will be published and distributed in all major bookstores as well as Amazon and other online retailers. But more importantly, it means that Blumhouse and Crypt TV will now be eyeing his book as well as the #2 and #3 titles for a possible movie production.
Because we want Zac to succeed, we ask that people share this post and make it be known that you want his story to become a movie. After all, with some serious elements of Clive Barker and David Cronenberg thrown into the story, how could you not envision a film being something twisted, violent, erotic, and absolutely disturbing?
““It Follows meets Tokyo Gore Police”. After losing his virginity to a stranger, a confident but naïve gay teen contracts an STI that causes his flesh to transform into a living gun.”
If you’re interested in reading “Weaponized”, it has currently been discounted on Inkshares, so digital copies are only $6.99 while a paperback option is $13.99. You can pick up your copy right here.
I won. I came in 1st. My book will be published. I'm shaking. I'm going to puke. Thank you to everyone who helped. I owe you all my soul. pic.twitter.com/QqEroqaZOh

Epic’s Fortnite is heading for another crossover, this time with Universal Orlando and Halloween Horror Nights. The title’s annual Fortnitemares Halloween event will be coming to Universal Studios Hollywood and Universal Orlando Resort in a new scare zone, kicking off on August 28.
For those not in the know, Scare zones are themed, open-air areas where guests and actors roam around freely.
This is the first time Fortnite will be featured during the after-hours event, which will run from August 28 until November 1. Tickets and packages are on sale now at the official site.
Per the press release, guests will enter Freaky Fields, a Halloween-inspired living battleground that’s been “overcome with a threatening force.” From there, fans will meet up with the Battle Bus, featuring familiar Fortnitemares characters, including “a few new additions exclusive to Halloween Horror Nights.”
And of course, there will be Fortnitemares merchandise available for fans, including a graphic t-shirt, decal set, and an acrylic collectible piece.
Fortnitemares won’t be the only featured property at this year’s Halloween Horror Nights. Killer Klowns from Outer Space will also be getting its own scare zone. Sinners, Stranger Things, Hellraiser, and Evil Dead Burn will also be part of the event, though they will be relegated to their own specific houses.
And while it’s early yet, gamers can probably expect Fortnitemares to return to Fortnite this October.
