NEWS: I Can Has A Horror Con

The Scare Fest creeps out Lexington.

For years I've whined and cried and pounded my pasty little fists in utter frustration over the fact that my hometown of Lexington, Kentucky -- Lex Vegas if you're nasty -- has never hosted a horror convention that was worth anything whatsoever. Come September 2008, however, yours truly will have reason to rejoice. The Scare Fest, one of the largest horror and paranormal conventions in the southeast, will drop its throbbing girth onto this bustling little city, giving local horror nuts a chance to rub elbows with such tasty genre legends as David Naughton, Betsy Palmer, Adrienee King, and the iconic Tom Towles, among others. It's shaping up to be one hell of an event, so make sure you book your hotel as soon as your dusty pocketbook allows; otherwise you may find yourself squirming uncomfortably at the spacious, world-famous Ramanda Inn. As of this writing, the organizers are still taking submissions for the film festival, so be sure to drop by their official website (www.thescarefest.com) or their nifty MySpace page (www.myspace.com/thescarefest) for all the free information you'll ever need on this topic. And if you're thinking about attending, drop me a line and let me know. This way I can determine how much mace to bring. Just kidding...?

I'll post more as soon as I am enlightened.
