Fangoria Weekend of Horrors (2006 @ Chicago)

Romero's back in town and he's finally brought Savini with him!

Wish I could make it for this, but I'm coming up to Chi-town the week of St. Patty's Day, and don't have the cash for two trips. So Homepage went to a VBulletin Board................(thinks about old Discserver days.....)

So Homepage went to a VBulletin Board................(thinks about old Discserver days.....) Yeah, wouldn't have been my first choice <cough cough WebWiz> ... but hey, if this is our new home, I'm claiming my spot on the couch and calling dibs on the comfy-est bed.

If I hadn't already met GAR and Savini, I'd be there for sure. Looks like a solid con. Make sure you keep us abreast of any horror gossip/news that you may hear.

Aw, mother****ing **** ass ****balls tainthumping **** popsicle...this board bleeps swear words now? Not cool. The bleeper is cool. I have it on my forum too. Neil can have fun with this feature - instead of using asterisks, he can replace the swear with more relevant words ("motherf*cker" becomes "zombielover" etc..)

Funny how Misty Mundae gets a white box top slot along with Romero and Savini while Kurtzman and Rooker sit in amongst the crowd, lol, and also - damn is James Gunn young, no wonder Yawn04 was so MTV-friendly, it was written by a freakin' kiddywink...alright for some though eh, finding a good start young...bastard... *yeh I'm bitter...so what of it?* *to jscott* (damn I forgot about the friggin' merge thingy) Holy crap, you were around for the Discserver days too? Damn that was a long time ago - 1998 fer me, what about you? At least we have accounts and footers and bells and whistles now ... none of that manual input of name and email annnnd title, then post crap.

I think it was 98 or 99 for me when I first came around, and to be honest, I kinda miss the simplicistic, minimal old board.

Just as a quick update ... Skipped Saturday, went on Sunday. It was 2 ballrooms + a screening room worth of vendors. Saw only a small fraction of listed guests (although they might've all been there on Saturday). Saw Tom Savini sitting by his lonesome at his table, seemingly ignored by guests. He appeared to be pushing buttons on his cell phone under the table. We approached and stood before him, awaiting some kind of acknowledgement. He looked up briefly and continued counting his cash. After awhile I asked him when Chill Factor II would be out and that I liked the first one. His reply was "when someone decides to pay enough money for it to be made." My friends and I looked at each other and we walked away. I glanced back at one of my childhood heroes and remembered ... my childhood is long gone. This was by far the skimpiest and most uninteresting con I've been to (including 2 other WOH). We were a little disappointed. On the brighter side, I picked up glossy 11x17s of Land and Day from George's table. And I got the new Buckethead 2-disc DVD.
