Adventure! Danger! Romance!

The Edge Of Your Seat!

This Saturday, July 21st, at the Brimstone Museum in Sulphur, LA, the epic cliffhangers of the 1930’s and 40’s will make a grand return at Calcasieu Serialfest!  I’ve personally attended this event all but one year and have enjoyed it every time.  I’ve blogged about this event before, and all of my regular readers know how much I love classic cliffhangers, so it should be no surprise that I will be in attendance this year.

Each year this event highlights one specific actor and showcases them in some of their most beloved roles.  This year the festival focuses on Kirk Alyn, who was the first actor to portray a live action version of Superman.  He is also known for portraying another comic book hero, Blackhawk, leader of the Blackhawk Squadron.  That character is currently tied to a project being headed up by Steven Spielberg.

While Alyn will get the lion’s share of attention at the event, other actors and actresses will also get a chance to shine.  Based on the event’s Facebook page some of the other stars attendees will get to see on the screen include Grant Withers, Lee Powell, and Evalyn Knapp.

One of the best things about this event is that it is free to attend.  There’s free popcorn and drinks to enjoy while watching the serials and there’s even a free lunch!  Door prizes will be given out as well.  You can also expect to see a cosplayer or two in attendance if the last couple of years are any indication.

If you are in the area, please make plans to attend this very cool and very unique festival.  It’s a celebration of an era that spawned modern day superhero films and blockbuster franchises such as Star Wars and Raiders of the Lost Ark.  I know of no other event similar to this one in southwest Louisiana or east Texas, so attend if you are able!

The Brimstone Museum is located at 900 South Huntington Street in Sulphur, LA.  The festival will open at 10 A.M. and serials will play until 5 P.M.  Admission is free to this event.  I will be in attendance (possibly incognito as a surprise villain) and I hope to see all of you there.  For more information, please refer to the festival’s Facebook page and be sure to share the event and the page with your friends.

I’ll have a full report after the event.  Look for my post early next week.  It will include photos of the event, cosplayers, door prizes, and anything else that I deem fit to blog about in my post.

As always, thanks for reading and I hope that I see you this weekend in Sulphur at Calcasieu Serialfest!
