I went to a horror convention Saturday

[Deleted]

So my daughter, father and I are all big horror movie buffs. My hero is George Romero. So when I found out that he was going to be in Nashville over the weekend, we decided to go.

Here are some pictures of some of the Horror film talent that was there. Bear in mind that these are all "classic" or "cult" horror films that these folks are associated with.

Heres George Romero with me, my daughter and my dad:


Me, my daughter, and my sister-in-law with Tony Todd (Candyman, and Ben from the Night of the Living Dead Remake):


Me and my daughter with Micheal Berryman (The Hills have Eyes)


Me and Adrienne Barbeau (Creepshow, The Fog, Escape from New York, many more)


My daughter with Kane Hodder "Jason" Friday the 13th Parts 7, 8, 9, and X


My autographed Dawn of the Dead poster:

Sounds like you had a good time - I like some horror flicks - but not all

[wooz]

Awesome dude!

I heard about that on Friday and was dying to go. My wife had Easter plans with the in-laws though. I'm soooo jealous. I LOVE horror flicks, especially zombie flicks.

[sparklybecca]

awesome!
your daughter is precious (kinda weird to say that while your at a horror convention but whatever!!! )

[GratefulHippie]

[alyroo]

How awesomely cool is THAT! ;D

Sounds like a fantastic weekend.... and I agree with Becca, your daughter is precious.

Thanks guys shes a sweetie. We had a great time, all of the people were very nice and friendly and would tlak to you as long as you wanted.

We stood in the hallway and talked to Tony Todd for about 30 mintutes before we left. He was really cool!

OMG that is so friggin cool! My daughter and I are huge horror movie fans also. Good times!

I too am a big George Romero fan. That is awesome that you got his autograph on your Dawn of the Dead poster. My girlfriend made this for me this past Christmas:



And I also got this for my birthday a while ago.

^^^ That's so awesome....
roofanintn it looks like you went to a very similar convention to one I am going to next weekend!!

I'm a super huge zombie fanatic so as soon as I was told George Romero was going to be there I was all over it.....I'm going to use it as my opputunity to tell Mr. Romero that I am going to attempt to do my graduate thesis on zombie movies, 85% focusing on the commentary in his(seems silly I know, it probably won't get approved) I'm super excited!

Looks like you had a great time roofan!!

Wooz can't help but see you are in MD... Horrorfind will be in Baltimore....just in case you wanted to meet Mr. Romero

MrKC: That book is great. Make sure you also read World War Z by Brooks also. They are the new frontier in zombie lore.

[Moe Train]

What's with Kane always wearing those gloves? LOL

[Deleted]

Oh man, horrorfind is going to be sooo much bigger than the one in Nashville this weekend. I REALLY wish I could go to horrorfind. You guys will have a blast. They are doing cast reunions with the cast of Night, Dawn and Day.....DAYUM!!!!

Kane wears those gloves because his hands are badly burned. He does more stuntman work than anything and he burned his hands bad a few years ago. He wears them to hide the scarring.

I had a show in Nashville on Friday and a show in Murfreesboro on Saturday so I got screwed out of going to this. Life is a problem sometimes. Glad someone from inforoo got to enjoy the Romero.
