Last weekend i went to Cleveland with my friend Took Gallagher to vend at the Cinema Wasteland Movie & Memorabilia Expo, and we had a blast! It's an extremely fun and friendly show scheduled twice a year in April and October, for hardcore fans of classic and independent horror films. Each show is themed; last weekend was a Last House On The Left reunion. Some other guests were Marilyn Chambers, Lynn Lowry, Jeff Lieberman, Tom Sullivan (the halls were filled with healthy appearing people sporting gruesome head wounds), Alex Vincent, Basil Gogos, and The Horror Host Underground. The Ghoul, A. Ghastlee Ghoul, Baron Von Wolfstein, Count Gore De Vol, The Bone Jangler and Nocturna, and Dr. Creep are just a few of the characters we got to see. i was on cloud nine with the Ghoul!
There were movie screenings and premieres into the early hours, and fun parties and a 'Talent-Less Show', which Bobo won with his excellent banjo rendition of "I Wanna Be Sedated". We were seated next to the producer, director and stars of the forthcoming movie "Chainsaw Sally". This is one movie i'm really looking forward to, since the fun its creators had making it is infectious.
Check out the photo album for Took's photos. We will be back next year!
Hey -- The Photo Album looks FANTASTIC, Juana!
Nice job! The pics look way cool. I especially love the "Well I woke up this mornin', believe I'll dust my box" guy -- such a sweet dude/art lover! It is so cool to be able to come to your website (and direct others as well) and re-view everything in one place. THANKS!!! Can't wait til next year!

Ha-HAAAA ! ! ! We have BOTH touched (and been touched by) The Ghoul, Franciney! (Just one of several times I got to 'act big' during the weekend at the Horror Expo!) Ask Juana about the Bomb Pop. By all means -- you MUST attend next year -- we will have 3 tables!
