I flew in from New York today to attend Eliot Brodsky’s Monsterpalooza this weekend and arrived from LAX just as it was starting.
There were huge crowds of fans lined up around the convention center to get in the show and everyone of those fans I spoke with were excited about this years line up.
I and other fans met and spoke with our favorite actors, actresses, artists, directors, and fellow horror and sci fi fans, including movie prop curator and actor, Bob Burns himself, at a special panel celebrating the 80th anniversary of King Kong.
There was a free monster/horror museum which had many amazing and scary creations from very well known artists and studios, as well as vendors with all sorts of cool swag to purchase. Here are a few photos as preview. I will be posting more photos, HD panels, and more when I get back to New York.
