Fangorias 2008 Weekend Of Horrors
By Travis • May 14th, 2008 • Category: FeaturedFangorias 2008 Weekend Of Horrors took place this year in my neck of the woods at the Los Angeles convention center in dowtown LA. The show ran from Friday April 25th, 2008 to Sunday April 27th, 2008 and was in the new venue for the first time. I loved the convention personally, lots of photo and signature ops with some of the greats. The lineup was pretty good with the 40th Anniversary of Night Of The Living Dead this year they had a special get together and panel which is awesome for any zombie fan. The man himself Romero was out signing in the vendor room and I jumped at the chance to get my copy of NOTLD signed. I also checked out the Brutal Massacre panel with a great cast of David Naughton, Gunnar Hansen, Brian O’Hallora, Gerry Bednob, Ellen Sandweiss and Ken Foree to name a few. It looks like it will be a great film this summer when it’s released by Anchor Bay.
Some of my other personal highlights were meeting Angus Scrimm the famous Tall Man from Phantasm series, and Reggie Bannister as well. Ray Wise who played Leland Palmer on Twin Peaks and the farmer character in Jeepers Creepers among others. Clive Barker was there but only for an hour or so signing before he had to leave. The screenings were great and I loved the films some of which I will cover on here such as Zombies, Zombies,Zombies.
