My next convention guest appearance will be at the unleashing of the first Akronomicon, Saturday, February 1, 2025, from 10 am to 7 pm at Emidio’s Expo Center, 48 E. Bath Road, Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio. Produced by the same folks who do the Akron Comicon every year, it’s a celebration of contemporary and Classic horror featuring vendors, artists, celebrity guests and movies. I’m on the guest list by virtue of the many and seldom-discussed horror and monster comics and magazines I wrote or edited for Marvel Comics back in the 1970s.
The guest list for this inaugural Akronomicon is amazing. Let’s start with VICTORIA PRICE, daughter of Vincent Price, one of my all-time favorite actors. A public speaker, she’s the author of the memoir, The Way of Being Lost: A Road Trip to My Truest Self and Vincent Price: A Daughter's Biography. Last I heard, she’s my next-door neighbor. I’m looking forward to meeting her and, hopefully, not talking with too much.
LINDA JO MILLER, the star of King Kong Escapes, is also on the list. She’s one of my favorite convention guests, always fun and gracious to her many fans. She has so many great stories about her life and career in Japan. I’m looking forward to seeing her again.
Other guests include:
Richard John Walters - My Bloody Valentine 3D
Devanny Pinn - Black Mass
Tina Krause - Silent Night, Bloody Night 3: Descent
Lisa Neeld-Infante - The Girl 2
Morrigan Thompson-Milam - Martian Girl Massacre
Eddie Deezen. - Grease, Dexter's Laboratory
Jon Abrahams - Terrifier 3, House of Wax
Lew Temple - AMC's The Walking Dead
David Hayes - Horror Writer
Scott Versago - Tattoo Artist
James L. Edwards - Actor
Chris Hahn - Axe Giant
Shawn Burkett - Don't F@#k In The Woods 1 & 2
Kelsey Livengood - Actress
Sonya Thompson - AMC's The Walking Dead, Zombieland
I know the fans are looking forward to meeting and chatting with them during the day. Me, too.
