As many of you may or may not know, my friend and I are going to Flashback Weekend for the full duration since we have the gold passes. With these gold passes they give you a free copy of ‘Hollywood Monster’ by Robert Englund and free autographs by Englund and Lance Henrikson. Well, this is my post on Day 1 of Flashback Weekend and boy was it thrilling.
For starters, we took the Blue Line subway to Rosemont and we found out that the hotel was 4 miles away, so we had to go to O’Hare Airport, hop on a shuttle bus and take it to the hotel. Once inside, it was booming full of horror fanatics and amazing horror memorabilia. Of course, everything was cash only and I had not cash. Most of the guests were all $20 per autograph and I didn’t have the money but I did try to snap a shot of Tony Todd when he wasn’t looking:
Failed picture of Tony Todd.
I did however meet some really cool people. I finally met Chad Savage, and his ‘Sinister Visions.’ Lance was cool, like, really cool and he respectively made fun of Robert and signed my friend’s “Hollywood Monster” book: I HOPE YOU ENJOY MY BOOK. SIGNED LANCE H.
Here is me with Lance Henrikson.
Overall it was nice. I won a free Halloween DVD from Anchor Bay for guessing the run time of the movie as well as a free Hammer Horror shirt and tons of cool buttons. We saw Near Dark on the big screen. Tomorrow will be a lot better… the dance, Robert and some cool movies.
