Attendees of this month’s gore appreciation fest will come face to face with a whopping EIGHT former Jasons from Friday the 13th… from the first (Ari Lehman) to the most infamous (Kane Hodder) to the biggest, badest, and latest model (Ken Kirzinger). What is Jason without campers to chase? Knowing this, MM adds a handful of machete fodder to the lineup including Erin Gray, Adrienne King, and two newcomers to the con experience, Dana Kimmell and Kimberly Beck. Cult favorite Return of the Living Dead gets its due respect as Trash (Linnea Quigley), Ernie (Don Calfa), and Tina (Beverly Randolph) join the show.
Nightmare on Elm Street continues to be listed as many horror fiends’ all-time favorite movie series so Monster-Mania brings out the man himself, Robert Englund! Joining Freddy will be Ronee Blakley (Nancy’s mom) and Dream Warriors alums Ken Sagoes (Kincaid), Jennifer Rubin (Taryn), and Rodney Eastman (Joey).
Like all great horror cons, Monster-Mania 6 is packed with features and events. Attend panels to get the inside stories on the making of your favorite films by the people who lived to tell the tale. Stay up late to catch the Rocky Horror Picture Show, complete with a live cast! After meeting the stars, re-live your favorite moments with them by watching the films they made so great. If you’ve still got any money left, hit the dealer’s room and pick up that gruesome item you’ve been hunting for or the evil trinket you never knew existed. You can even meet the creators of Living Dead Dolls back there!
“But what if I already showed up broke…because I’m punk rock that way?” you ask. Well, Dread Central will be waiting for you right in the entry with a table full of freebies, contests for killer collectibles, and even the creators of creepy comic Sullengrey ready to zombify you into immortality!
Make sure to clear your calendar on August 25th through 27th, and head down to Cherry Hill for Monster-Mania 6! All the details you could ever want on the show are right here, so get clicking!
