Back at the beginning of the month, I made the trek up to Bellevue, Washington for the Mad Monster Party: Shadow Over Seattle horror convention.
Here's a bunch of pictures!
Hanging out in the atrium of the Bellevue Hyatt until the con opens...
This way...
A giant Mad Monster greeted you when you walked in.
Angus Scrimm's panel Friday night was very entertaining - that guy has tons of great stories.
Holy cow - a Blackula mask!!!
The Something Weird Video table had this snazzy SLIMER prop on display.
My buddy Mike let us crash at his place and even made us breakfast!
Dale gives bacon the thumbs up!
And this weirdness happened, and it was time to head back to the con...
The Fright Night panel was packed, and was good...
Until these tall-haired people sat in front of me!
Barry Bostwick, Little Nell and Patricia Quinn pose for a photo in the bar.
Rowdy Roddy Piper's panel was insane! My friend Rob said it was the best panel he'd ever seen. Roddy was all over the map, and all over the stage. He acted stuff out, he told hilarious stories, he told inappropriate stories, he told sad stories. It was just amazing.
Angus signed a Phantasm poster for me - that's going in the stairway poster gallery for sure!
I have been a PHANTASM phan ever since I sat cross-legged in front of the TV, alone in dark, watching with wonder as it aired on the CBS Late Movie. And now I have received a hug from The Tall Man!!! A few weeks later, my son was watching the horror documentary "Nightmares In Red, White and Blue" in his documentary class and was able to tell his classmates, "I met that guy! He gave me a hug!"
Pretty good coleslaw at a brew pub.
Costume contest featured Dr. Frank N. Furter next to Sasquatch. Of course.

Barry Bostwick and Little Nell introduce the screening of Rocky Horror Picture Show.
A dancer enhanced the opening credit sequence.
On Sunday, I got my son a Silver Shamrock Skull mask. I'd better watch out on Halloween.
I picked up some cool DVDs, a t-shirt and even a VHS tape of the crazy awful monster movie BOG!!! And then the party was over, and it was time to go home.
