Monroeville, PA, has seen its share of horrors from zombies to monsters. Add to that the most recent invasion of ghouls and beasties known as HorrorHound Weekend, which ran from Friday, June 20, to Sunday, June 22.

Our friends over at Icons of Fright got word that a familiar convention is making its way back to the Big Apple.

You have just got to love the convention circuit. There's so much to do, so much to see, and so much cool shit to buy it's usually our wallets that end up in agony. My credit cards are still burning from the days of Chiller gone by!

I'll never forget my first time, man. I was barely a teenager. After what (even at that young age) seemed like years of anticipation, the time had come for me to become a man.

Do you have plans to be in or around the LA area this weekend but aren't sure what to do with yourself?

Finally we can start talking about Fear Fest 3, once again presented by Pit of Horror and Dread Central! Though the second show was only a month ago, it seems like it’s been forever since we mentioned it on the site. Strange how such a short time can feel so long. I bet it’s the drugs...

I’m not exaggerating when I say that Monster-Mania is one of the best run convention series in the world. I feel that since I cover around 8 conventions a year, I’m qualified to say this! At every show I like to talk to vendors and celebs alike to see who is doing well and what their experiences are like. It’s the suit in me.

Numerous sci-fi TV shows have been given their own conventions, but the same can't be said for their horror cousins.

Things started off badly. Flights were canceled. Dallas was snowed in. There was so much more to do and no way to get it done. Sometimes it feels as if every force in the universe is aligned against you. But there's a job to get done. Thousands of fans were lining up for a fun weekend, and by hook or by crook they were going to get it. Besides, we had some serious partying to do, and nothing was going to get in the way of that!

Word came down the other day that George A. Romero had cancelled his appearance at both the Eerie Horror Film Festival and Rock and Shock due to an unexplained illness. What we didn’t know at the time but have since learned is that Romero had actually collapsed and was hospitalized.

For the past 26 years, right under our collective noses, a host of famous horror/fantasy authors have been convening at a secluded college in the tiny state of Rhode Island to swap stories, meet fans, and partake in what I’m sure for most is a long-overdue weekend of reckless abandon. The event is called Necon (short for Northeastern Writers’ Conference), and if you’ve never heard of it… well, I’m not surprised. (FYI: Click on each pic to see it full size.)
