Well as I said, I am making another entry into my blog. I know that this one is a little late in comming so bear with me. As stated in the title this will be about me attending ScreamFest this past Oct.19-21.
ScreamFest is Florida's largest horror convention. There were many things that frightfreaks could take part of. There were things ranging from a-z and just about everything in between. I must say that it was definatley a con not to be missed. Although I did'nt go Friday, I did go on Sat, and Sun.
Sat was chock full of the horror AND halloween goodness. I attended several panels and watched quite a few movies. Movies, you say??? Yep, ScreamFest has it's own little film festival. You can watch movie shorts as well as feature lenght films. David Arquette was there to promote his new horror themed film. If you love '80s type B-movie slashers then you have to see this one. Alot of the panels were shops on how to construct new props and tecniques for haunting. The mummified skull workshop was awesome. I never thought about using flesh tone stockings, covered with liquid latex as a faux skin.
While there I got to meet the Big boys of horror. I felt like a kid at christmas!! How many chances does one get to talk to Pinhead, Freddy, Jason, Leatherface,The Creature from the Black Lagoon, and Michael Myers at the same time. There were many other stars there as well. I think the most fun was Llyod Kauffman hosting "kar-eggyolk-ee", for his film Poultrygiest. I wish that I had more money to buy some of the things that I saw.
Although I really did'nt do Halloween like I wanted to this year, I think my going to ScreamFest was the balance. I will post more on the con later. til then.....
keep on Haunting
