All's well at ends well, with the final day of L.A.'s Fangoria Weekend of Horrors convention 2009. We got lots of exclusive, fun, funny and informative on-camera interviews throughout the weekend — here is a link to Friday's fun, and coming soon look for video of John Saxon, Adrienne King, Toby Wilkins, Lamberto Bava, Shannon Elizabeth, and many, many (many!) more throughout the week.
Sunday's panels included a Repo! reunion (I never knew they'd been apart), a preview of Orphan from director Jaume Collet-Serra, a look at some of the DVD extras we can expect on My Bloody Valentine in 3-D presented by Patrick Lussier and Gary J. Tunnicliffe, a preview of Toby Wilkins' The Grudge 3 with actors Beau Mirchoff and Johanna Brady, a Hills Run Red panel, a Texas Chainsaw Massacre reunion with Tobe Hooper, plus a panel in which Horror.com took part, called Horror on the Web, moderated by ShockTillYouDrop.com's Ryan Rotten.
The night before, on Saturday, there was big red carpet event to celebrate the DVD release of Robert Hall's Laid To Rest — we have posted a Laid To Rest photo gallery, which includes Hall and stars Bobbi Sue Luther and Johnathon Schaech, plus several special guests. Look for our exclusive video coverage on that event, coming soon.
Many thanks must go to Fangoria's Tony Timpone, and Creation Entertainment's Monica Gillen for helping us bring all this horror-goodness to you year after year.
