The Monkees singer Micky Dolenz
was among the many celebrity
TV stars at this year's Chilller Theatre convention.

Galactica wrapped.
I had the chance to work with Ian McCulloch (Zombie, Dr. Butcher M.D.)
for the GirlKiller trailer which will be part of a 3 disc set
complementing
Stephen Romano's Shock Festival book.

Is it just me or was Monster Mania held at a much smaller
venue than usual?
Only 400 tickets were given out to meet The Evil Dead's Bruce
Campbell.
You had to meet at a designated spot at a designated time and then
groups were whisked away to another location at the hotel to meet him.
Welcome to Fright Night!
Chris Sarandon told me
about the ongoing struggle to get a Fright Night
special edition out. A
pirate commentary
was
recorded by Icons of Fright and Shock N Roll.
The highlight of the con was meeting
Jason Mewes (Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back).
From singing the Hannah Montana theme song to discussing how he would
love
to commit sodomy on Selena Gomez (The Witches of Waverly Place); there's nothing
he wouldn't talk about. He even answered my
question when asked if he ever
fantasized
about Kevin Smith's wife. He said no but I don't believe him!
(Left to Right) Jasons from Friday the 13th Part 2 and VI -
Steve Dash and C.J. Graham.
Jason's mother (Betsy Palmer) sporting "the sweater" and
looking
as good as ever.
Friday the 13th 2009's new Jason (Derek Mears) was extremely
humble
and very cool.
Many of the cast members from the original
A Nightmare on Elm
Street
were on there to celebrate the 25th anniversary.

My daughter loves the Nightmare rhyme so
Robert Englund
did one of the coolest
things ever. He recorded
a special message for her.
Editor/Reporter Eugene Driscoll interviewed me via USTREAM
about the convention and Sins of the Father and as usual, branded
it with his twisted sense of humor.
