“Totally!”
August will indeed be spook-tacular for yours truly. I’ll be heading to the Houston Horror Film Festival once again! Last year was my first visit to the festival and I had a blast. I had so much fun, in fact, that I booked my hotel and secured my weekend pass as soon as they were available.
A ton of amazing independent films will be showcased at the event. You can check them out on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday during the event. There are a lot of movies and short films to watch, so be sure to check out the list on the festival website to pick and choose which ones you want to watch! Vendors will also be on hand to sell you their wares. Last year I picked up some sweet Universal Monsters ornaments and I hope to add a few more Universal Monsters items to my collection this year. Friday and Saturday night will be capped off by two after parties. The Saturday night event will be hosted by Felissa Rose with a special performance by the amazing Cherie Currie!
The festival will also include a number of industry guests. As a horror fan on a budget, I have to plan out who I want to meet and hopefully snag autographs and pictures from them. My “for sure” list includes PJ Soles, Lee Waddell, Heather Matarazzo, Shawnee Smith, and Billy Zane. I also hope to meet Kristy Swanson for a second time and possibly Nancy Loomis, Tara Reid, Cherie Currie, Dee Wallace, and Adrienne Barbeau.
The festival’s Facebook page and their website are the best places to get information on the event. The festival also recently released images of their exclusive t-shirts and the official festival poster available in 3-D and 2-D! Be sure to get your hands on some of these awesome exclusives!
I’m absolutely stoked for this year’s event. For the first time in a long time, I’m going to go all out and cosplay for two of the three days of the event. One cosplay is ready to go. The other one hasn’t completely been settled on just yet. I will have some Ken’s Alternate Universe stickers to hand out for free as well as a limited amount of cool horror-themed trinkets suitable for adults and kids. If you come to the event, flag me down (I’ll post a photo of what I’m wearing on each day of the event on my Facebook page, so you’ll know who to look for), and I’ll give you a sticker and, as long as I have them, a cool trinket. Just ask me for them and they are all yours!
I really hope to see all of you at the Houston Horror Film Festival. Be sure to let me know if you’ll be there in either the comments section or in a private message. It would totally be cool to meet my readers so that I can personally thank them for following my blog!
As always, thanks for checking out my posts. I really appreciate your support!
Ken's Alternate Universe!
