Obviously, this event doesn't deal entirely with the Fright Night world, but the appearance of filmmakers Tom Holland and Tommy Lee Wallace make it essential. Not to mention all of the other terrific guests in attendance! I wish I were going!
I would love to hear from anyone attending this event. Comments and photos are welcome from all. Inform fellow Fright Nighters about your experience!
