I am and I miss the West Coast. But did I miss something? Monsterpalooza isn't at the Burbank Hilton, anymore? Oh, wait?!
The Convention was moved.....
It's in the Pasadena Convention Center (across the street from the mall). Parking should be a lot easier there. It's a nice venue, too. They used to have some cool toy/collectibles shows in the past.
I will be attending this year, so I hope to see you all there.

This show looks so cool. I wish I could attend, but living on the east coast it'll probably never happen.
I wish we could trade the Chiller show for this. Chiller is a shell of what it used to be, with some of the worst guests imaginable. 75% (or more) have absolutely nothing to do with horror.
Also, you have around 3 tables at the most selling model kits, statues, etc. It seems like half the tables are selling dvd's. Maybe Monsterpalooza can expand, and do an East coast show in the future.

I really don't know why they don't do an East coast version. It is hugely popular around here (so popular that they do a Son of Monsterpalooza in the fall). It would only make sense to take it to New York and expand the popularity.
I can only hope they decide to do it at some point. If not, I may have to make the trek out there in the future.

Anyone going: take lotsa pictures so those of us who cannot can share in the fun. Pretty please? :angel:

Will there be a model contest this year? Something happened last year that Terry isn't holding the AMF contest. A local group did and the contest announcement almost didn't happen. So far I haven't seen one so I'm hoping someone has info.
I'll be attending Saturday. Hope to finally meet some UMA folks. Is there a special T-shirt, badge or place where UMAers meet up?

Usually you'll find them near wherever alcohol is served.

Great...my kinda peeps!
Hit up the palooza last night. Didn't take too many pictures since there was a lot of stuff I had already seen but here's a few...

Lots of werewolves...the Mike Hill Teenage Werewolf was amazing up close!
Had a great time at Monsterpalooza! It was nice meeting Chris Zephro, president of Trick or Treat Studios. Really nice guy. We had a discussion about TOTS making Universal Monster masks. I explained to him how popular the Glenn Strange Frankenstein is with collectors and how cool it would be if TOTS offered one. Coincidentally he has a meeting with Universal today to discuss licensing. He's going to ask in particular about a GS Frank mask so lets keep our fingers crossed. Kidagain, use your Jedi mind powers to help make it happen. ;D I'm going to e-mail him tomorrow to see how it went. The biggest issue is that Universal wants an arm and a leg for their classic monster licensing. Hopefully Chris will be able to strike a deal. Stay tuned. By the way Count Zachula, that Mike Hill Teenage Werewolf was great! I asked him about it. He made that in 2 weeks! Amazing talent! Thanks for posting the pics. I'll try to post some when I have time but I didn't take as many pics this year either. Was too busy having fun with my son at 'palooza! ;D
Thanks sooooo much Glenn for remembering to ask Chris about the GS Frank mask. My Jedi powers aren't what they used to be do to age but I'll give it a try. Thanks again pal.
Someone apply the necessary pressure for this to happen:

BROD101 did it again. MONSTERPALOOZA 2016 was bigger and better than ever. Families Karloff, Lugosi and Price were present and were treated as the film royalty they are.
It was a fun three days and I had a chance to touch bases with old friends as well as meet new ones. Rondos were presented to Mike Hill and film historian/maven David Del Valle.
Sunday was topped off by a surprise visit by Dick Van Dyke strolling through the venue just being another fan.
I'm already planning for Son Of MONSTERPALOOZA.
Great fotos! I miss attending the show/Monsterpalooza.
