When you view the guest that will be attending on the site for this, I noticed that they used a picture of sack-head Jason next to Warrington Gellet’s name. Also, why would you not credit Ken Foree for having been in ‘From Beyond’. And they never say under Kane Hodders name that he was in ‘Monster’, that movie was an Oscar winner, and pretty scary too.
totally off topic i know. but anyone know how far we are through round 1 of bracket challenge? i feel like were gettin kinda close to round 2
Just bumped this up as a reminder. Hope to see a lot of you guys there this weekend!
Just returned from Scarefest and I really enjoyed it. All the celebrities were all very friendly. My hats are off to all the organizers of the event. There was a really cool Q & A Seminar with Ken Foree, Danielle Harris, Dee Wallace-Stone and Leslie Easterbrook. Kane Hodder and Warrington Gillette were there as well and it was really great to see them. I wish I could have gone last year. I guess I’ll be going to Cincinnati in November.
Horror hound was sweet to go to. But id love to go to more horror conventions. If you havent been to one I highly recomened visiting one sometime. Just remember to bring alot of spending cash. They offer some of the coolest stuff ranging from masks,t-shirts,action figures,dvd/blu-ray and of course to get the autographs of some of horrors biggest names.
Scarefest was absolutely phenomenal. I actually met a lot of people who say they come to this very site. Hopefully some will make themselves known. I appreciate all the kind words from everyone I met. It means a lot.
