Post-ScareFest...

The 2019 ScareFest Convention is now in the history books, and I must say it was another great one.  Though there were a few stars who had to cancel for one reason or another, there were still oodles of great stars to meet.  The "headliner" was Bruce Campbell who was the star of the Evil Dead movies.  He is also the latest host of Ripley's Believe It or Not.  I will be posting pictures soon of the convention to my photography website, Sharry's Place.  I hope you will come back to see when these pictures will be uploaded.

Dates for next year's ScareFest are October 23-25, 2020, at the Lexington Convention Center in Lexington, Kentucky.  The management is in the process of working with local hotels in setting aside blocks of rooms for convention goers.  If you would like to keep up with when these rooms will be available or just to keep up with any and all info about ScareFest, you can visit their website, www.thescarefest.com.

 

Gearing up for ScareFest...

This time next week I will be packing my suitcase to attend the annual ScareFest convention, which is being held in the Convention Center in Lexington, Kentucky.  This will be my 9th year attending and my 1st year working as a volunteer.  I am looking forward to seeing friends I have made over the years and get to see only at the convention.  I love this convention because of the family atmosphere and the effort the owners/managers put forth to make it such a fan-friendly convention.

For those of you who have never heard of ScareFest, it is dedicated to horror fandom and Halloween with some paranormal thrown in.  This year's convention runs from September 13-15, and includes stars from movies and shows such Friday the 13th, Game of Thrones, Evil Dead, Face Off, Tales from the Crypt and Six Million Dollar Man.  These are just a few of the movies/shows represented.  Some of the stars who will be there include Kane Hodder, Sid Haig, Lee Majors, Bruce Campbell, Felissa Rose, John Kassier, Ted Raimi, Vee Neill (a 3-time Acadamy Award winning makeup artist), Ryan Hurst, R.A. Mihailoff and Hafthor Bjornsson (world's strongest man).

Paranormal stars attending include The Ghost Brothers, Chris & Brannon Smith and Mike Goncalves of The Tennessee Wraith Chasers and Dave Tango & Steve Gonsalves of Ghost Nation (formerly with Ghost Hunters).

There will be oodles of vendors and displays to feed your shopping fetish.  :-)  If you are a people watcher, you will love observing all the cosplayers who come dressed as their favorite characters.  There is something for everyone at ScareFest, even kids...Sunday the 15th is Kids Day with activities catered just for them.
