Killer Holiday is an American thriller-horror film directed by Marty Thomas scripted by Jon Zuber and produced by Marty Thomas, Jon Zuber, Michael Copon, and Tonya Mantooth. The film is currently in production.
The film stars Michael Copon as a complex sympathetic serial killer, Melvin “Spider” Holiday.
Eight 17-year olds head out for a Spring Break vacation hoping for the time of their lives. Video game celebrity Rachel Lara stars as Taylor. Alex Mandel plays the role of Derrick.
Synopsis
In a shocking opening, Taylor, a 17 year old drop dead gorgeous former juvenile delinquent is oblivious as her parents are brutally murdered while she and her friends set out on a Spring Break road trip. Ignoring evil premonitions from Taylor’s straight A student friend Cammi, the group of eight 17 year olds party on as they get farther and farther away from civilization along old Route 66 with a killer in pursuit.
Anxiety builds for Cammi as each stop along the way proves stranger and stranger than the last until the group is lured to their final desert destination -- a decrepit abandoned amusement park from the 1960s. The group soon discovers that the park comes complete with a junkyard full of broken-down classic carnival rides, shocking surprises, surreal ghost sheep, the smell of death, and an enticing, young, tattooed serial killer named Spider.
True to his name, Spider takes sick pleasure spinning a sticky web of horror for each of his victims, leaving Cammi for last. A final confrontation reveals Spider’s true motivations for his plan and spins Cammi’s world upside down in a surprising and sinister twist. With her very sanity put to the test Cammi traps Spider and escapes, only to discover that Spider will always be near and with her forever.

Antonis "Tony" Angastiniotis (born in Aberdeen, Scotland, 9 September, 1966) is a human rights activist, documentary maker, journalist and author.
He is renowned for questioning Greek Cypriot nationalism in his written works and in his documentaries, "Voice of Blood" and "Voice of Blood 2: Searching for Selden". The documentaries drew attention to the massacres carried out by Greek Cypriot EOKA B members against Turkish Cypriot civilians. Tony is a member of the Greek Cypriot community.
His Book “Trapped in the Green Line†explains the reason of making Voice of Blood and the necessity of reconciliation through acknowledgment and forgiveness. Through his speeches and articles Tony has equally criticized both communities for the atrocities of the past and calls the communities to apologize.
"The same people who then accused the Greek establishment of not being democratic enough to show my documentary in the South they themselves are now doing the same thing in the North against the broadcasting of Panicos’s film. This shows the extent of hypocrisy and fear that dominates in our hearts. Only cowards avoid looking into their past mistakes. I was never one of them and I will not become one of them. Our problem on this island is that we allow a few chauvinists to tell the majority how to behave, what to say, what film they must make, what poem they must write, what flag we must draw on our mountain. By remaining silent we assume the role of the traitor while they lay claim on the role of the patriot."
His work includes the promotion of awareness about the Genocide of 50,000 native children murdered in the Residential schools of Canada. And supports the work of Kevin Annett (Eagle Strong Voice) and the Truth Commission into Genocide in Canada.
Night Eagle'
Tony’s spiritual beliefs are rooted in the Cherokee spiritual ways known as the White Path. In October 2007 he was appointed as a Clan Chief by the Elders of United Indian Nation. His native name, Night Eagle, was given to him by Elder Morning Star of the Cree nation.
:This article covers the weapons used in the 2003 invasion and subsequent occupation of Iraq.
On April 9, 2003, Baghdad was formally secured. As the summer of 2003 gave way to autumn, the pattern of anti-occupation attacks shifted to include repeated, deadly suicide car bombings against high-profile targets in Baghdad, such as the headquarters of the UN and the Red Cross, foreign embassies, and police stations of the newly-formed post-Saddam Iraqi police force. At the same time, attacks on individual U.S. soldiers and vehicles, often in the form of buried roadside bombs, went on. The coalition counterinsurgency began on June 9, 2003 in response to an increase in guerilla attacks that began in late May.
Coalition Forces
The invasion itself was swift, with the collapse of the Iraq government and the military of Iraq in about three weeks. Coalition forces moved into Baghdad with limited resistance; Iraqi government officials had either disappeared or had conceded defeat.
