Monster Bash - Are YOU going?

[The Drunken Severed Head]

Monster Bash, the classic horror con held near Pittsburgh every year, is a fun con, and currently the ONLY con focusing on classic monster movies. If YOU plan on attending, please respond to this thread, so we can coordinate a UMA group photo.

TDSH,
You betcha I'm going this year!!  This will be my 3rd year and I plan on bringing Mrs. Hendry for her 1st MB.   Ron Adams and his crew always put on a great show and this year one of the highlights is a huge exhibit dedicated to Vincent Price.  They will also be running a drive in style movie experience,showing House On Haunted Hill.  Looking forward to making new friends from UMA and renewing old aquaintances.

I very much hope to attend this year, but I certainly can't say one way or another quite yet.

I'm should be there unless finances change.  Looking forward to meeting fellow UMA members.

Until 2009 when MONSTERS FROM THE VAULT LIVE! is held in Baltimore, MD. We just announced our first two guests, Donnie Dunagan (Son of Frankenstein and Tower of London) and Ann Carter (The Curse of the Cat People and I Married a Witch). Also, UMA's Penny Dreadful and gang will be doing a live version of Penny Dreadful's Shilling Shockers (movie TBD) at the show on Friday night. Also, Terry has promised a UMA Toy Museum invasion at the show, and I already have the space for it reserved! For more info visit our convention Web site at www.monstersfromthevault.com/MFTVLiveIndex.html. Now back to the Bash, as always Marian and I will be there with the new issue of Monsters from the Vault---we wouldn't miss it!

Jim, I said "currently the ONLY con focusing on classic monster movies"-- I should have emphasized CURRENTLY. I'm really looking forward to the MFTV con! I'm sure it will be a big success!

I know that, and I hope the MFTV Con isn't the only new CLASSIC convention, as there are plenty of MODERN conventions and too few CLASSIC coventions. I'd like to see that change before there's no one left from the 30s (which there is hardly now), 40s, and 50s to have as guests. Look forward to seeing you and your mate at Monster Bash, Wonderfest, and the MFTV Con!

[The Drunken Severed Head]

Sadly, not at Wonderfest. Just can't afford it.

After missing it last year, I will be at this year's Monster Bash for sure... and I will be set up in the dealer's room selling monster stuff!  Be sure to stop by and say "Hi"!

I didn't see an official thread, so I thought I'd start one.

Who all is going to be there? I am. It will be my first ever. I'm sure most of you have been in attendance many years. So, is it as cool as I imagine?

Andy, its very cool! Its a thrill to walk around the corner and run into someone dressed as frankenstein or some other monster. Spending the whole weekend watching monster movies, greeting the stars of some wonderful films and enjoying the company of those who have the same love for these wonderful creatures can be exciting. You'll be making wonderful friends for a life time. Also I love shopping for things that you just can't pick up at walmart like creepy monster things and books that are hard to find. You'll have a creepy time!!

Monster Bash is indeed great fun.  I hope to be there again, not positive yet.

[typhooforme]

My cousin Sara/vpdogjoe and I, and likely friend Jill/ghoulchick will be there if all goes as planned.  It IS fun--to walk around the corner and run into--MISS DRAC, for instance!  Her, and a hundred other interesting folks, fans and celebrities alike.  There is never enough time to see all, hear all, do all--a truly good con is a wonderful thing, and the Bash has always been a truly good one.  I have strong expectations that the MFTV con, when it gets under way, will be strong competition for it, too.

Robert, you always have to dig me up in conversations don't you! Hahaha
