Horrorhound Convention

I didn't know if anyone was going to this...besides me.

Horrorhound Weekend

Elvira,Sid haig,Tom Savini,Lloyd Kaufman,AND FUCKING GEORGE A. ROMERO?!

I would love to go to the Vampira thing too.

Man...I'd love to. Horror Conventions are rad. I loved the atmosphere at Spooky Empire.

I don't do conventions but I had to pop in to say the magazine is awesome.

I love HorrorHound Weekend! I've been to the first three. If still lived in KY I'd be there in a minute. Hopefully, I'll be at the next Cincinnati one

I can't wait to meet Romero!!! Sid Haig is really cool. Savini was cool too I didn't have a problem with, but I know a lot of people who did.

I wanted to go to Spooky Empire so bad.

Yeah Im going. Its one of the only shows in Indy and last year was a lot of fun.

I have a Night of the Living Dead poster to get signed by Romero and a Hellraiser poster to get signed by Clive Barker and Ashley Laurence (previously signed by Doug Bradley and two others).

I'll probably get a toxic Avenger poster at the show to get signed by Lloyd Kaufman.

Sorry Folks. I won't be going . I was debating on going, but it's just too damn far for me to go. I will however try to get to Flashback this year(that's actually my new years resolution). Have fun at the show!

I love how I live 30 minutes away yet I won't be able to go.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!!!!

Not fair!!

No money, no job, no transit... No con.

*sighs* Enjoy, S4SP

That sucks. I live a little over an hour from Indy and attend most of the good cons they host (Horrorhound, Star Wars...) Since u live in Indy u know theres not a lot going on most of the time besides Colts games and the Indy 500 lol.

Well since I work at a hotel I get to know a lot of the big events in town. Biggest every year being the National FFA convention. After that it's probably either Indy 500 or Gen Con. Ahh Gen Con... can't wait!!

Just got back from Horrorhound Indy today (sat 3/27). This was easily the worst con I have ever attended. Sold way too many tickets which led to congestion everywhere in the con center. Had some guests in the main hall and others scattered in other rooms. Got there at 10 and had to pick who I wanted to stand in line for.

Had several hour waits for Romero, Clive Barker and even Elvira. The Troma booth had too much traffic and split the con floor in two with a huge line.

Wasnt set up good at all. Shouldnt have to pay $20 for a ticket and have to wait hours for one guest to sign a poster. Could have sold a set amount of tickets and pre sold autograph tickets to take care of the problem.

Sad to say but I wont be coming back to Horrorhound again.

^ Still wish I could've went. $20 sounds too fair, actually.

Spaced seemed to have a cool time.

That is so lame. Sorry to hear the con kinda sucked. Today at work I was wondering how it was going. I almost forgot because everyone just keeps talking about the NCAA thing and the Final 4 next week.

$20 for tickets and $20 to sign things sounds good if there was a way to get everyone to sign. Clive Barker and George Romero were the big guests and getting them to both sign was almost impossible. In fact even getting Elvira or Lloyd Kaufman from Troma to sign took a long time and had great big lines.

There were lines for George Romero that extended outside and waaaaay up the street. I got in line for him and had to wait hours to get around. Clive Barker only signed for a couple hours and while I was waiting for Romero the line for Barker started and stretched to its limit and they cut it off.

If standing in line for hours and then fighting through a jam packed convention center sounds like a good time then this was the con to see lol.

Trust me Ive been to Horrorhound a few times in the past, two Star Wars cons, Wizard cons in Chicago and several other horror cons around Indy and this was without a doubt the worst I have ever been to. Thats saying something since last year at Wizardworld Chicago the air conditioning went out in August in a packed convention center.

yeah Butler better win. I hate Duke and Mich St. since they win all the time.

Im a Purdue fan but obviously with them knocked out I am rooting for Butler. I think 99% of the country is rooting for them in their own city.
