We had a great time at Flashback Weekend and saw more cool things than you can shake a stick at! Seriously at times it felt like I was one of the bobble heads looking around at the neat stuff. So here is a little gallery of cool stuff we saw:

Teddy Scares! - They’re undead teddy bears. Erin bought two of them. We’ll have a full post about these things soon!

 

George Romero! - ‘Nuff said.

 

Our very own Jef - Hanging out with the stars of NOTLD. (Bill Hinzman shown)

 

Decomposing Heads - Perfect for your mantle.

 

Elvira and Svengoolie - Two Horror Show legends on stage together

 

Zombie Beauty Pageant - What’s not to like?

 

Nate - With Texas Chainsaw Massacre celebs Caroline Williams and Marilyn Burns

 

We had a great time and can’t wait until the next convention!

Poise, beauty, and BRAAAAAIIIIINS - these girls had it all. Flashback Weekend’s annual Zombie Pinup Contest was a fun event that showed that beauty really is only skin deep (rotting, stinking skin that is). You can view our photos of the event here.

It was a parade of fear yesterday as Chicago horror legend Svengoolie hosted the Flashback Weekend Costume Contest. Our very own Jef Porkins did a stunning job with his own makeup but sadly it was a man in a monkey suit (Planet of the Apes, specifically) that won Best in Show. You check out all our pics from the contest here.

Awesome news for Michiganders and Midwesterners alike! Michigan is the newest home to a HorrorHound Weekend show, with HorrorHound Weekend Detroit happening October 24-26. While they names is a little misleading, since it is actually taking place in Ypsilianti, MI (which isn’t in Detroit), we are still excited to be having a show happen in our backyard. Tom “Thrill Me” Atkins (Night of the Creeps) has already been announced as a guest, with more coming soon! Watch here for more updates.
