Crypticon MN 2009 Party all NIGHTMARE long!
This post was written by Don of the Dead, Friday, October 16th, 2009Well, its the most wonderful time of year again (Christmas? Johnny Mathis is a LIAR!) ! It’s fall, the leaves change, I set up the ol’ graveyard Halloween display, oil up the chainsaw for some Trick or Treat-er scaring on the night of Halloween. And its also time for Crypticon.
Used to be I’d get post Halloween depression. All my evil fun was over, and now comes the *uhg* “cheer” of Christmas. But then came Crypticon! Now in its 4th year Crypticon is like heaven on earth to a horror obsessed geek like me. Where else canI be in 1 building surrounded by fellow horror fans, a large dealer room with horror collectibles, film screenings, and celebrities from my favorite horror movies. I started off as a fan, and due to hard work and dedication to make sure every horror fan knew about it, I was officially hired on as their “Promotional Zombie”.
Well this year promises to be the biggest yet. A celebrity guest list sure to appease any Horror fan from classic to modern to family friendly frights we have it all:
Steve Dash! Jason Voorhees in Friday the 13th part 2
Tony Moran! “Unmasked Michael Myers” in Halloween
