In what’s become a late spring tradition for horror fans in the southeast U.S., the annual FRANKENCON horror convention, presented by Orbit DVD, returns to Alcoa, TN, on May 9th and 10th! RUE MORGUE will be on site at this year’s event at the Hilton Knoxville Airport with copies of “the best damn magazine in the genre,” spanning decades of excellence in journalism covering all facets of Horror in Culture and Entertainment.
Fans can delight in fright with meet-and-greets, photo ops and other special events with a guest roster encapsulating genre icons across film and literature, including:
- Legendary horror host JOE BOB BRIGGS and DARCY THE MAIL GIRL, returning to FRANKENCON for the first time in four years!
- Clown in a Cornfield author ADAM CESARE, who’ll also be featured in a story writing panel
- A CUJO reunion with the beloved DEE WALLACE and child star DANNY PINTAURO
- Chopping Mall alum KELLI MARONEY
- Pumpkinhead and Society star (and FRANKENCON’s favorite son) BRIAN BREMER
- And many more!
FRANKENCON’s organizers are as big horror fans as any, a notion that shines through in the event’s in-scene photo ops which attract throngs of attendees year after year. And collectors on the hunt for wicked wares to fill their shelves and cover their walls can enjoy a showroom packed with vendors of the macabre.
