Rob Zombie is an American filmmaker/musician/record producer, and artist. Zombie has lived in Connecticut for a long time, many of my friends have run into Zombie and his wife Shari at stores and events around the Woodbury/Bethlehem/Southbury/Bantam area over the past decade, but not any more. After a dispute over the noise a local skatepark generated into his neighborhood, Zombie moved out and settled into the quiet Northwest corner of Connecticut.

Over this past Summer the beautiful new 6,500 square foot Morrison Gallery opened up on North Main Street in Kent, and that is where Rob Zombie will unveil his very first art exhibition "What Lurks on Channel X'. Here's the announcement from the Morrison Gallery about the upcoming exhibit -

"What Lurks on Channel X' will officially open with a reception on Saturday, October 25 from 5-7PM, and will run until November 16. Zombie's work is described as 'A colorful collusion of pop culture' from over a decade of his work and features a multitude of very famous faces, including the Beatles, Bela Lugosi, Frank Zappa, Charles Manson, and yes, even Laurel & Hardy.

The exhibit will feature over 10 large-scale originals from Zombie, with limited edition, signed & numbered prints for sale of each painting. Morrison Gallery hours are 11 to 5 Wednesday through Saturday and noon to 4 on Sunday.

Dudleytown, CT: The Ghost Town That Guards Its Secrets

What you’re about to read is a journey — my journey — into the mysteries of Dudleytown, the so-called “Village of the Damned.”

You’ll get the history, the legends, the frustrating investigations, and the eerie encounters. This isn’t just a ghost story. It’s about land ownership, mysterious incidents, government secrecy, and a community reluctant to talk. It’s curiosity pushing against walls of silence. So, buckle up — Dudleytown’s story is far stranger than you might expect.
