Convention Memorabilia

Chances are that if you attend a horror convention it means getting some pretty cool stuff. Here is what came home with me from Fright Night Film Fest.

Soundtrack and promotional cards

The Bubba mask I had signed by the cast

Another highlight at the con was meeting John Carpenter. Here is a man whose work I adore. The meeting was very brief but it was pretty cool to meet such a legendary man. Items at his table were a bit pricey and he was charging separately to get a picture with him so I passed on the photo. Kinda kicking myself now. I'm also ashamed to admit that I left my Halloween III poster at home.  Carpenter was the last one I needed to complete it. Bummer. At least I got him to sign a Halloween poster. Hopefully I can run into him at another con.

Prince of Darkness happens to be one of my favorite films and soundtracks. Alan Howarth and John Carpenter's collaboration is brilliant on this score. This music inspires me the most while working on a new prop. I really want to pick up the 2 disc cd set that's now available.

Just a few T H I N G S

I am a HUGE fan of John Carpenter's The Thing. Not only is this one of the greatest horror movies of all time, it has the most stunning creature effects ever to come from a horror film. Casey Love, a very talented creature designer and mask maker, has recreated several of these amazing creatures depicted from the film...the Kennel Dog, Norris Worm, and the Blair Monster. All of these pieces have amazing likeness and detail. I believe he originally created all three of these for a private collector, then later decided to make them available in a very limited run. Now if only my pocket book was a little bigger I would add these to my collection in a heartbeat.
