The Niagara Falls Comic Con, which took place at the Niagara Falls Convention Centre this past weekend, celebrated all things pop culture. RUE MORGUE was there, and we had the opportunity to meet and chat with several guests at the show.
Among the names in attendance were Freddy vs. Jason stars Ken Kirzinger (Jason Voorhees) and Lochlyn Munro (Deputy Stubbs); veteran Emmy Award-winning filmmaker, puppeteer, and Terrifier 3 associate producer Bill Diamond; and the much-loved Tommy Chong, who appeared with Nicolas Cage in the 2019 adaptation of H.P. Lovecraft’s Color Out of Space.
RUE MORGUE’s James Burrell meets the legendary Tommy Chong. (Dave’s still not here, man…)
Freddy Krueger himself, Robert Englund, and Leprechaun star Warwick Davis drew long lines at the event, with Englund signing photos and a plethora of A Nightmare on Elm Street-themed memorabilia. Davis cracked jokes about his title role in the humorous Leprechaun series with the crowd at his Q&A. Other guests at the event included Tremors star Michael Gross and genre film icon Michael Ironside (Scanners, Visiting Hours, V). Vendors from across Ontario were on hand to sell various masks, figures, games, comics, posters, cards and other collectibles.
